I can say for certain, your blog, the insight, the feed back, has certainly been a help to me. It seems there are too few that are willing to give.
Even if the waves are good… Nice touch. Very good read.

Thanks, Archan. I look forward to your comments – they are always well thought out and I appreciate that! I’m glad you think I’m helping people – that’s my goal here, and sometimes I question myself! Thank you.

Hey Maria:

I am familiar with that quote by Woody Allen: a senior actor with amazing comic punch. Allen is hilarious and plays the class clown with undiminished zeal. Allen makes you laugh till you cry joyful tears.

Thanks for your inspiring example: you walk your talk with Drew. Showing up for a show on an off day is your way of demonstrating your committment. Congratulations for getting your book published.

Your partnership with your husband, Drew, serves as an inspiring example. You both lead from the front like true leaders. I think a lot of young people who want to pursue an artistic career can learn from your example. Such posts are valuable and can help educate those who want to pursue a non-conventional dream. I wish you and your entire family a lot of victories and success stories in the future too.
