This blog is sort of off the beaten path. But there are times in life when one must travel there, just to get a glimpse of how one should correctly view the world, or themselves for that matter. Recently, I took a job working consessions at our local theater. This theater, I so wanted to … More OFF THE BEATEN PATH
When you have been given a 2nd chance, it is important to go out and help do the same for others. This is partly why we are so passionate about this book and film series. The only thing holding us back from accomplishing that is the funds to do so. We believe it is forthcoming … More THE ONE
This picture was taken a few days before our book signing event. If I ever had doubts about this book series being made into a film series, this picture instantly squashed them. I was so taken back by this. God indeed is smiling down on our projects. Which means, they have to be done His … More TIME TO GET RADICAL
As I was waiting for Jason to come out of the Chiropractor’s office, (mind you it took 2 1/2 hours), I finally had to go sit in the truck for fear my lack of patience would get the better of me. To my left was a Dunkin Donuts drive thru. As I watched many people … More GETTING IT DONE
I was feeling emotionally drained about everything and wondered just what the heck was I doing. All the sacrifices made lately, have been particularly hard. Though many good things are happening, it still has been a heavy load to bear. As I was driving around the battlefield looking at the Fall colors, or lack thereof, … More A THOUSAND SMILES

I am indeed thankful there are so many knowledable people who laid the tracks out before me. Auditioning and casting was something I may have felt in my heart, but … More AUDITIONING – BE THE CHARACTER
As the film starts to build momentum – (speed or strength of something as it is moving), commitment levels must also build and keep up with what is going on. If you are given this great opportunity and you accept it, you are taking it on as your own. As great are the rewards; just … More THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!
Resilience is defined as, “The power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched; elasticity; the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.” Unless you are a filmmaker, you have no idea of what it involves. It takes years and years of ups and downs, to produce … More RESILIENCE
This morning’s bike ride was a little more rough than usual. I tried to push myself probably harder than I should have. After riding up a pretty steep hill without stopping, for the first time ever, I was pretty nauseous. I had to lie down for a few minutes to settle my stomach and rest. I … More MARCH ON!
