Everest

This past week was the last week of Holly and I preparing for pitching and Monday marks the beginning of the next phase which is all about getting in the room to pitch. This entails making phone calls, reaching out to friends of friends, strangers and basically coming up with a network strategy of how […]

An Inspired Life

The definition of the word inspire is ‘to make someone want to do something’. We use the word so liberally, I’m not sure what I thought it meant but for some reason this definition seemed a little basic and a little limiting. I really believe we get what we need and sometimes before we even […]

Inspiration

This month our theme is inspiration. I feel that I’ve had the incredible fortune to have had a mega inspiring week. First off I was in a cabin with my producing partner Holly for 2 days up a mountain to break the back of the pitch for our show. It was a challenging mind acrobatically […]

Joy

Usually at this time of year I can teeter into feeling a little blue. Post christmas with family and visiting friends in London coming back to my apartment in Los Angeles without a clear plan of how to achieve what I want to achieve this year can cause me to feel overwhelmed and a little […]

New Year New Adventure

This year I really do feel excited about the New Year and believe that 2016 will be a whole new adventure, a shift in focus and bring all manner of good things. I hope for you too darling that this finds you on the brink of your best ever year yet. Here’s to health and […]

Warm

Sitting fireside as the rain lashes the windows and such all I have to say is that I am grateful that the final days of 2015 can be played out with family and far from the manic days of the past few months. Lovely to quietly spend the end of the year and slow down […]

On the move

Have just arrived into the wilds of the Scottish Highlands and as we speak am listening to the winds whipping around the house. I was in London visiting friends before arriving home with family. Each day has been incredible; seeing old friends some of whom I haven’t seen for 4 or 5 years. In the […]

Now

Spending the past few days clearing out my grandmothers house. 65 Years of clothes, dishes, trinkets and records. Endless piles of things moved from cupboard to room to room to garage. My grandmother gave me a cushion with “Worrying about tomorrow empties today of its strength” embroidered on a few years ago. Its incredibly simple […]

Visualization

This week has been manic as per usual but Thursday night tailspinned a little more so than usual. I had driven down to Seal Beach to visit my grandmother for dinner which had meant 3 hours in traffic despite leaving at 3pm to drive the 35 miles South. When I arrived I immediately put in […]

Landlocked Mind

I woke up anxious this morning with a whirling mind of all that I had to do before leaving for a trip tomorrow. Coupled with an unexpected TV show which I had had to write and record VO for this morning…so a frantic day and instead of thinking I had at least one whole day […]
