A nice note

A wonderful actress who comes to the reading group I've been hosting for over a year now wrote this really sweet note. I was so touched that I wanted to share it with you --

"Just wanted to say that I think you've done an amazing job with the reading series, and congratulations on the one year anniversary. Last weekend was a fantastic turnout, and the scripts were terrific. I am so impressed with all that you accomplish, and I hope you feel a deserved sense of pride in your success and with what you guys have built with your company and community. Not only are you beautiful and smart, but your generous spirit and hard work are a constant inspiration. Thank you for inviting me to be a part of the reading group, and even more, for being an ally and friend."

Its this feeling of community, of sharing in our creative ideas and dreams, of stretching ourselves together in a safe environment that keeps me going. I am SO GRATEFUL for this place we have every 2 weeks that we can all come together and inspire one another.

I only hope, if you are reading this, and wanting a place to go to to find support in your work and to support others - I say DO IT YOURSELF! I've been to plenty of other groups like this, but in the end, I found I needed to lead and not be lead - I needed to have a voice - and I needed to share this voice with others. It is, of course, a time commitment on my end, I've had my doubts at times, but its all a necessary part of the process of creating something really wonderful. And it takes patience. (and that's a real challenge to my Aries nature)

In the words of Nikey: JUST DO IT. Its worth it ....
