To Blog or not to Blog, that is the question.

Who reads this shit anyway? I pour my heart out with experiences and advice and do not know if it’s landing anywhere for anybody in any kind of useful way. I can’t tell by the comments I receive because most of the ones I receive are spam. Haha. But do I care who’s reading it? All I can do is carry on if I enjoy doing it whenever I get around to it. I have not written in a really long time by my standards. OK. Now that I’m done bitching about something that may or may not be meaningless, I’ll catch you (whoever you are) up on what’s going on. I’m working really hard on my focus. That means always keeping in mind the specific ideal that I want to achieve. I am consciously being grateful every step of the way. I’ve been reading a couple of books having to do with mental work and achieving goals using the Law of Attraction. One is called The Master Key System by Charles Haanel and the other is The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles. Both are books written in the early 1900s and influenced the movie and book The Secret, which you may or may not have seen. Whether or not you thought that movie was cheesy, these books I mention are extremely powerful and deal a lot with spirituality. I’ve realized it takes a lot of work to keep up a constructive/creative attitude. I’ve been working on it every day for the last couple months. I recommend you try it, or at least as an experiment see what difference it has made for me over the reminder of this year. I absolutely love studying philosophy/spirituality/psychology. What you learn from it and what you take on/acquire as beliefs has the power to change not only who you are, but where you are and what you have. It’s like a wonderful adventure through life, that keeps changing and stays exciting.
Yesterday was one of those great days when you can say “when it rains it pours.” It was not only a busy day at work but I had a call back and 2 auditions. The callback was for Tele2 a Swedish telecommunications company commercial that is filming in Sweden at the end of August (Danielle Eskinazi Casting). I also went in for a “Confidential” commercial (Alyson Horn Casting) and an ESPN promo audition (Francene Selkirk/Shooting From the Hip Casting). My main focus right now is for acting profits to grow exponentially, that my main source of abundant income is acting.
I’m also very excited about my trip to Serbia at the end of July and 1st half of August. I get to see and spend time with mom, dad, and lots of other relatives. I’ll be doing a couple of short side trips, Greece and Slovenia. I’m also keeping in my vision a visit to Sweden as well, for the Tele2 commercial shoot. Wink, wink.
