Day 269-270: Reading

I am awfully tired. It's not working as in physical working, but mental working. I am reading Sidney Poitier's autobio, " The Measure of a Man". Its really good and its a acting lesson and life lesson in one. I am down in the pits about a lot today personally, but this to shall pass. As I learned in the islands last week...after every storm comes the sun and after the sun comes the storm. Its a fact in life. Oddly, I learned a great deal from the Caribbean. Now I am semi broke. Today just sucks for me and I went to church. I will tell you something while the preacher was preaching I wrote on a piece of paper, " I am becoming a Buddhist". I am not sure why I just shared that...

Anyways, here's what's going on with me right now--this moment:

1. Reading this book that is changing my life as an actor.
2. A Literary agent contacted me on Thursday to request two samples of a travel book that I am writing. I am nervous as hell in sending this off. I have it and I will do a once over today and just press send.
3. My blogs have gained a little traction for being in existence for a month. I just need to take a look at where I want t go with each of them. I look at my two blogs as my two 'twins". Oh, check them out at www.globalblackwomen.com and www.culturatist.com .
4. I have to submit 4 travel posts for www.Blackatlas.com --- I have a few trips I want to write about.
5. I am writing a piece for a UN entity to get published.

So I have a little traction going on with my acting and writing.

I will be in Atlanta for about 12 weeks to get involved with their acting scene. I need some experience, so a dear friend is allowing me to stay with them while I put some energy behind that.

Oh! I was contacted this week by an LA gig to submit my resume.

So, in my professional life right now---I have activity.

Its my deepest prayer that I can sale two books ( starting with the travel book and then the memoir), get my blogs together and get more involved online and all, and get to Atlanta and give acting my all.

I will be in Atlanta on Dec 1st. There for Dec-Mar and then back to LA for good ( or until I decide to live somewhere else, namely France or so).

So here I am.

I try to look at where I am at and the possibilities in reaching my goals from God's view. It gives me peace. Since his view is powerful and no one can top it. It gives me peace that in man made terms or views my dreams seem far fetched, but from God's view I'm just a pebble of a being, and what I want is so easy.

I rejoice for the blessings that are about to happen in my life. I feel them. I really feel their breath. If that even makes sense. I feel my blessings breathing on me. They need to just eat me. I'm theirs :)
