Days 247-252: Slowly climbing
Its Sunday and I feel like shit. What I have learned this past week is that if something does not make sense to me it does not make sense at all.
So what did I get done this week?
1. I tweak my biz plan
2. I went down to biz zoning office and was told fee is now $100 instead of the $50 on application
3. I lend someone a small loan ( I was happy to help)
4. I was rejected by two book publishers
5. I chatted with one in the UK that was pleasantly sweet
6. I have decided to write, act, and direct a short film and I spoke to a Prof at UNCSA and its a go.
7. I decided to dream higher after reading about other greats!!!
8. I watched two Sidney Poioter films and now I am inspired
9. I went to library and checked out bio of Sidney's life
10. I did a radio skit for a popular Texas show!!! I am excited I did not know I could do that
11. I worked with the NP WIST---to get some stuff done
12. I practice my languages :)
This list could go on...but in so many words I am very productive and busy.

Day 246: 119 Days to Go
I have 119 Days to Go with my goal of 100% being employed in the Arts and Entertainment industry. You can read my very first post to go over my "story". Today has been a busy day. I am off to write for my two blogs and then send off some proposals and all.
I received a call to asst with a Dallas based radio show with some on air skits ( which will be great experience for me). I have a cast meet and greet this Wed for this indie film I will be in...
So I am busy, yet I am still a amateur.

Days 243-245: Sometimes I'm Weak...
Sometimes I'm not perfect and I am weak and I have no respect for people. Its all okay. I'm human.
I am deeply tired. I am behind on a lot of tasks because I was mad at the world, while tweeting, and watching Keeping up with the Kardashians.
That's all I feel like typing tonight. Its 1145pm EST and I need to be up at 5am EST to start my day.
Goodnight.

Day 242: Busy Day
Busy Day. I am thankful to God I am alive in this glorious day and age. My life is very shitty right now of course...but its just temporary. I'll be laughing soon. Money will be rolling in. I'll have a sexy boyfriend again. I will have new clothes and a new lease on life...my business will take off...I'll get book deals....I'lll get paid acting gigs...
Then I may come to where I'm at again...
Life is beautiful nontheless.
Oh, and I believe I am about to convert to Buddhism. Its not an instant transition, I've been thinking of it a lot actually since last March.
Well, I watched this film on Siddhartha Gautama,
I get his story, let's out it that way.
Buddha is in me. I mean I believed everything that I learned, before learning it. Isn't that crazy.
Well, I am off :)

Days 240-241: I feel like Watching a Sexy French Film Today
I am so freaking busy. I've been so freaking productive and I am not able to stop. I am making little strides and I will keep on pushing. Small film projects coming, my business has launched, I've been submitting work for freelance work ---but I have not received any call backs. I've also submitted for FT jobs in the sciences, and no callbacks.
So I will PUSH.
My goal is to move back to LA on Jan 4th and I need income to take me there.
At this point I'd be an escort to get to my goals. I'm joking okay---but really.
All day I've been working and all.
I'm about to go pay a bill, and then come home and work on submitting 30 book proposals.
Its 15 for each book.
After that I will try and watch a French film.
My day is so not sexy---but i am trying.
I need to get to a point where I have income coming in.
The key for now is to just get the foundation laid with everything and then change along the way.
One of my dear friends emailed me today and said that she was dried up creatively and if I had any pointers...I randomly said listen to some Hawaiian music.
So then I listened to some as well...

Day 239: Very Tired
 |
| Casting notice from my UNCSA |
Oh update!!! I was not cast in any of the student films. I am working a gig for a caddy commercial done by the students...it is what it is.
My day breakdown:
I had to go to court today about my car ordeal---lapsed insurance. I feel so stupid. Here I am 32 years old and I knew nothing about lapsed insurance, or how to go to court if I had issues, or had been stopped. I mean I was in the courtroom this morning and I simply paid attention to everything going on. I feel like I should have known by now how things in a court room work. I guess its a first time for everything.
I have to go back on Nov, 8th because I need to handle some more things and all.
I drove back to W-S today and I just slept and slept. I was deeply tired when I went to court. Just tired of working so hard on my projects and all. I deeply enjoy my work and I am going to keep on. Its just a long process.
Thank God for my goals partners.
If it were not for the accountability...I'd be truly FUCKED!!!
Oh well...
This week these book proposals must go out, websites all in sync, blogs running well, tell people about blogs, and do lots of walking and running.
God willing this week will be ultra productive.

Days 237/238: Climbing
I told my friend tonight I wanted to be in a Love coma. Ha! I laugh at the term . I didn't get a lot of work done between Saturday and today. I did start applying for only paying acting and modeling jobs. I cut out non paid work, something I have not ever cut out. But what I realized is when I made a decision to cut out non paid work---I have started getting call backs for paid work.
I realized this week when you make a decision of any kind, we should simply respect our decision. That's it. For an example, if I say I want to act professionally, I need to apply daily, and apply only for jobs that allow me to support myself. Its common sense, however, nothing is all that common.
I ma proud of myself.
This week I will push on.
I'm about to prep my blogs for this week.

Day 236: Today was a Writing Day...
I'm writing my eBook to sale on my Global Black Women site. I wrote for about 5 hrs straight. Thank God for twitter. I feel awful that its my alma mater's homecoming...but I just need to focus on my work right now. Times like this I need a ultra busy boyfriend.
Like when I take breaks from my work I can have awesome sex, then shower, and then get right back to work. I know you didn't need to know all of that...but right now would be the worst time for me to have a boyfriend.
Let me complete these two ebooks, websites, and two book proposals....at least initially and I'd be good.
I want my cake and eat it too.
I'm about to watch a Spanish film and then complete the book draft and post my blogs and a few other tasks and then I'm back at it on Saturday. I really enjoy my work. Its crazy as hell. But I enjoy it...
OH...let me post an email I received today from a dear friend. It made me cry.
----------------------------------
Hi,
I just wanted to take the time to say hello. What happened to Fashion Week? I assumed you could not find a reasonable ticket.
Anyway I just wanted to tell you how wonderful you are. I was looking at your site global culture science. I have always admired that you have the courage to just step out on faith and do the things that really make you happy and help to make a difference in the lives of others. I wish I had half the courage.
If there is anything that I can ever do to help in your endeavors, please let me know. I look forward to all that is to come:)
I could cry again at such the kind post. The support is needed.
God is good.

Day 233: Directing
I'm sitting here and I have 14 more things to do on my daily to do list. One of my goals this week is to watch 10 Spanish films. I am doing this to brush up on my Spanish before my Nov trip. The island I'm visiting speaks 100% Spanish.
So I am going to take a 3 hr nap and then get back up.
Before I get back up I have been deeply inspired by two amazing actress/directors:
Paola Mendoza's , " Entre Nos"
Nadine Labaki, " Caramel"
Inspired...

Days 231/232: I Declare Victory
I am deeply tired. I can honestly say my walking has made me tired. I walked 20 miles last week and my body is so sore. This week goal is 25. I still have my eye on my Feb 17th---deadline. I am sure I am going to make it. I have so much to do towards it as I type away now.
Yet, calmly I declare victory.
I declare victory.
