Ocean Bliss


There’s something truly magical and inspiring about the ocean.  Maybe it’s the fact that it’s so powerful and unpredictable or maybe it’s the salty air that intoxicates me and makes me feel like I can do anything. 
Whatever it is, when I’m near the ocean there is a distinct place deep inside that gets touched and awakened.  I feel invincible, loving, acutely alive and free.  Any restrictions in life seem minute and I get the sense that I posses all the answers I could ever need.
With one good gulp of that sea air, I’m transported into a time that stands still and my inner life as well as the world around me is at peace.   What a gift nature is.  It provides all that we could possibly wish for and so many of us don’t take the time to soak it all in and allow nature to win us over, give us answers and calm us from our everyday nuisances.  I am so thankful for the days the ocean carries me away and reminds me that I am but a mere spec in the grand scheme of it all.
Be kind to our oceans!

AMAZING friends = MASSIVE Inspiration!


When I feel down and out or just plain useless as an artist or even a person, these three people are my SAVING grace!!!  All three of them have pulled me out of a tough moment (or many moments) and helped me see the light, especially through some laughter...best hollistic medicine around!  Surrounding myself with inspirational people is one of the key ingredients to staying creative and loving.  How can I feel anything, but loved and important when I've got those smiling faces in my corner?

Each one of them has inspired me artistically in so many more ways then even they know.  Whether they've realized it or not, they've each made cameos in a few of the characters I've written.  It's such a gift to know I can always count on them to bounce script ideas off, to get great feedback on my writing endeavours, to dive deep into a discussion about the heart, soul and beauty of acting and to just plain be there for me.  That's sometimes seems like a foreign concept these days with everyone seemingly out for themselves.  I am truly fortunate to have found these beautiful beings among the masses.

At the end of the day I'm a story-teller...and what stories do I have to tell if I'm not inspired?  Thanks to ALL of my wonderful friends who continually inspire and love me!
