I just received an email from Priscilla at Different Perspective Productions letting me know that they already have a logo presentation ready for me! WOW! That was incredibly fast. Guess the pressure I put on Rob, their Creative Director, to produce something mind-blowing worked even better than expected. A less than 48 hour turnaround from…
Disclaimer: the title of this blog is misleading. I’m sure you clicked on this blog post because you were anticipating a juicy story about me going to pitch a drink in someone’s face or something else truly mean and uncharacteristic for an optimist.

I met with the Creative Director at Different Perspective Productions today. Despite my still-gurgling belly [stupid stomach-flu!], it was an awesome occasion.

I recently learned that my brother-in-law proposed to his gorgeous girlfriend on New Year’s Day. I am absolutely thrilled, as she is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. She’s kind, genuine, and ridiculously intelligent. Did I mention she’s beautiful? She is also the mother to my niece, who irrevocably stole my heart on…
OK, so a classmate of mine has been accepted for an extremely prestigious internship at the Cannes Film Festival. Yes, I said CANNES. Huge, right? Unfortunately, she was given VERY little notice regarding the acceptance and has had less than three weeks to raise the money for the tuition. Tuition for the event is $3,500,…
This morning, I met with the incredibly talented staff members of Different Perspective, a design/marketing/PR firm in Downtown Orlando. I had the opportunity to tell them a bit about myself, my life, and – most importantly – my professional goals as a writer. And they listened. On the 23rd of this month, I’ll be meeting…
Surprise! An article I wrote about following-through on New Year’s Resolutions was picked up by the school’s blog! Woohoo! Since I cannot post a direct link, here’s a copy/paste of the article: *************** 2013: Easy Game Plans for Positive Change It’s that time of year again: time to shake off bad habits and resolve to…
