My rantings, musings, and the overall verbal diarrhea of optimism that leaks out of me.
The other night, on my drive home from work, I gave my mom a call. Don’t worry, I used my bluetooth. Both hands on the wheel, just like Mutti would want. We did the usual chitchat – How was your day? How’s work? Grandma still crazy? – and then the conversation drifted to me. I…
I’m known for being a very happy, bubbly personally naturally. Yesterday, however, I’m quite certain I had a smile on my face for every second of the day. It was, quite honestly, one of the best days of my adult life – especially on a professional level. I had the unique opportunity to attend the…
I’ll never understand why so many of my fellow Floridians get upset when it rains. That’s like saying you’re upset that your stomach growls by noon. It’s a give-in; it’s going to happen, probably daily, and it’s something that’s part of every day life. Perhaps I’m crazy, but I love rainy days! Not only are…
Have you ever noticed that when you have a project due, you somehow find EVERY EXCUSE POSSIBLE to delay working on it? I am supposed to turn in the final draft of a feature length screenplay for class tonight – at midnight. So far this week, I’ve detailed my car [I’ve had it since September…
I was officially in my second student film this evening! And I had more than one line! Pretty sure that makes me a professional. I’ll work on mailing out those autographed headshots as soon as I can, folks, so please be patient. In all seriousness, that was an incredible evening! Over four hours, seven actors,…
So… I dropped my laptop off to our IT Dept yesterday afternoon for some “updates,” which I was told would take about sixty minutes. After an hour, I received a call notifying me of some “snags,” which would result in them needing another hour or two. That hour or two turned into them notifying me…
You know what makes you feel pretty darn FANTASTIC? Helping someone out who had no idea that they needed help until they spoke with you. Today, I went to visit my professor to discuss a project of mine. He was doing me a favor, as I’m not currently in his class but I value his…
So, as I’ve mentioned before, I set the goal of being published five times while I’m 28. Why did I set this goal? I did it because I’m typically HORRIFIED by rejection. My whole life, I’ve intentionally avoided confrontation as well as neglected my gut instincts because I’ve feared failure. Which probably sounds oxymoronic coming…
Most people dread Mondays. Understandably, they are pretty hectic days for most working professionals. You typically start the day feeling behind, with a weekend’s worth of emails backlogged in your inbox and a voicemail light blinking in your face. For some reason, this doesn’t stress me out – it exhilarates me. I am so pumped…
Happiness is a choice, not an outcome. It is a conscious decision that one makes every minute of every hour of every day. It is not selfish to be happy; rather, it is venal to be miserable. Delight is infectious. It empowers others. It brings light, optimism, strength and joy. To seek happiness and to…
