People often ask me what it’s like to be in LA pursuing acting. I recently read an awesome blog post from Jenna Fischer (who plays Pam on The Office) about her journey and how she finally made it. Her post does a good job at summing up the typical actor experience. Here are a […]
Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive.

Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is […]
Yesterday, I wrote about inspiration. I love this Henry Miller quote — it speaks to the point of that post. Enjoy!
