Journey to a New Land

We arrived in Lala Land yesterday and 1st thing on the agenda was to head over to Jeremy and Robert's new digs and then do dinner.  What many may not know, is that I've known Jeremy and Robert for over 10 years now!  They were once my producers, now my co-workers, and most importantly are now family.  So when Jeremy first said that he was going to move, I actually didn't take him seriously; not even for a minute.  Then he told me he'd found a studio and an apartment, and to be honest, I still didn't really believe him!  And then Robert said that he was going to look at places too.  Now the confusion really set in.   Could this really be happening?  We're all NY based.  You can't separate the team! How will this work?  

But we arrived yesterday, a week after our boys had moved their entire lives across the country and I have to say, I"m proud.

Picking up and leaving your family and friends is not an easy thing to do and I give much respect to them for their vision and their courage.  Often, to achieve greatness, there must be great sacrifice. 

So let's wish them good luck on their new journey and their new lives here in LA.  May it be filled with opportunity, joy and a little more sunshine :o)

Love you guys!

Emotionally Drained but Must Charge On

"If it was easy, then everyone would do it!"
No one ever said it was easy to achieve your dreams but sometimes it can be so exhausting! haha You can admit or not, but it's not always easy and I don't mind admitting that. That's just real talk. I can't help anyone by pretending like it's always roses and sunshine.
There are days when I feel so frustrated by so many different things. There are days when I feel exhausted and I wonder if it's actually worth it. There are days when I get so mad because someone tells me to do exactly what I had suggested 6 months ago! And I feel like knocking them on their head and saying "I told you so!"
But I don't stress those days anymore. Because the reality is that if you believe in what you're doing, then that's all you need. You need that faith and belief in yourself.
One of my co-workers recently asked me how come I always seem so at ease and that's exactly what I said. I just know. I just believe. And nothing and no one can sway me from that, end of story. So no matter how hard, no matter how many hills I feel like I'm climbing, no matter how many brick walls I bang my head against; I don't sweat it, because I just know.
We will get there. With hardwork and determination, we will get there.
So no matter what you're dream is, don't give up on it if you truly believe that you have something to offer. Sometimes it doesn't happen when you think it should or the way that you planned it, but when it is meant to happen, it will.
So keep your faith and charge on. And on a day where you may feel a little tired, take a breather and come back fresh tomorrow.
But never, ever give up!
