Happy. Thank You. More Please.

These last couple months have been absolutely insane and wonderful at the same time. And quite the whirlwind of emotions. I'm really learning about myself, the people around me and the business I'm in. I feel far more empowered and excited about my life and career then I've ever been.

In the last four months I've starred in a play, worked on a voice-over gig for Wrigley's Juicy Fruit Gum, finished a creative marketing and career co-op with an awesome group of amazing creative folks, auditioned for a bunch of projects (many of which I received call backs for), worked on my reel, finished P90x (woot, woot!) and began taking meetings with agents. I'm getting new head shots next month and taking another Audition technique class. Busy!



A couple weeks ago I spoke to an old college roommate for the first time in years. she was so excited to hear about my adventures in LA and in life. As I was explaining to her about what I'd been up to personally and professionally, she said "wow, you are where I want to be in 2 years." :-o I was so flattered. My college friend is no slacker. she runs a really awesome sweet/baked goods shop in VA and is doing amazingly well as an entreprenuer. To hear her say that was both humbling and exciting. I'm happy that my life (and decisions) are inspiring to others, and most importantly inspiring to those people who inspire me.

After that conversation, I began going over what I'd done (both accomplishments and failures) in the last two years and was so proud of myself. This life ain't easy. But, what stuck me as being so awesome was that I'd taken control of and changed many parts or me and my surrounds for the better. Those things that made me terribly unhappy before are no longer around. I've become far more open with others and much better about my friendships and relationships. And those things I've wanted are no longer "wants" but realities. I stopped waiting for great things to come to me and instead went out and got them and began living.

I won't lie, my life ain't perfect. Nor is it even close. But, I've stopped fighting those things I can't change and began changing those things I can. And, I've accepted so much help along the way to get there! so many awesome people around me keeping me together and accountable. I'd love to thank them all...but most of them like their privacy. :)

so friends, I'm really happy and grateful and ready for more, please.


Besitos,

Giovanni
