A Master Craftsman



I love these images. Both by Hokusai. Maybe you've seen them both? Especially the one on the top - its quite famous. Its called The Great Wave Off Kanagawa. Hokusai was an artist all his life - and its said that his best work, such as the Great Wave - came after he was 60 years old.

To me, its an exquisite, beautiful reminder of sticking to your craft. Doing what you love everyday of your life.

And I know for me - its telling stories. I like to tell stories. I thought, for many years, that I could only tell stories as an actress - and this is one way that I can. But I can also write. Direct. Produce. Fundraise. Support other's works.

And I doing all these things that help me find great joy....allows me to really be there for the people I care about. And that's important.

Life just got pretty grand.

Grumpy grumpy.....and then I started writing writing.

And all is better......
