That's The Spirit!

Life isn't a Sunday bike ride in the park. One day you're struggling to make it through castings, but then maybe the next day you're working nonstop. It's feast or famine. In the process of waiting for your big break, sometimes you can lose track of why you're doing this at all.

I've had my fair share of clouds and sunshine. At the beginning of the year, I was optimistic that I'd be working like crazy. I went out for auditions, and I got callbacks, but actually booking something was proving to be a challenge. Then my personal life started weighing down on my spirit. It felt as if no matter how many steps forward I'd make, I'd get knocked back so far... Like being first and goal, but not being able to convert that into a touchdown.

But even in the fog, you can see a silver lining. Even in the face of disappointment, there's always a little voice saying "You are unique. You are beautiful. You are talented." Finally the rough waves I'd been experiencing are starting to dissipate. Maybe it's the change in season, but I feel refreshed and ready to do this again. I just keep telling myself that no matter what hardships I'm dealing with, never stop trying. Never stop dreaming. You're going to make it, baby!
