Blind Trust

I’m filled with emotion. I just saw a screening of a movie that I worked on last fall, called “La La Land”. It was amazing and is perhaps the best movie I have worked on in my career. The cinematography and art direction is beautiful, the story a universal story – that everyone can relate to and…

Called to Rest

I’m sitting in a Starbucks in the southwest as I write. Life is simpler, easier. Miles away are the busy, crowded streets of Los Angeles. I am home. I have fond memories here and I come back often to see my family and friends. I am here to center myself and gain clarity for my next…

A Series of Leaps

We all grieve in different ways, When…

Get Real – My Leap of Faith – Reflection

Take a moment to think about where you are at this moment. Really take the time to reflect on every aspect of your life: job, career, love life, health, and social life. Where were you last year at this time? Have you or your life changed or has it stayed the same? Are you the…

Mindful Monday #60 – This is YOUR Life

Happy Monday! I can’t believe April is almost here. So many anniversaries, of events in my life that I wrote about last year, are around the corner.  Today’s Mindful Monday Quote hits the nail on the head with the energy and mindset that runs through my body. The first time I saw this quote I…
