The benefit was a financial failure and a spectacularly personal success. For several months I focused on moving in a good direction, went out, interacted with lots of people, made tons of connects, got lots of potential work…. and inspired others to do some good in the world. and inspired myself to continue on the path I set out to walk.
next steps… get more press, meet more people, network my ass off… get the website up and plan event #2!

I need motivation and stimulation… great jazz musicians used drugs usually heroin… that’s not a viable choice so I’m looking for inspiration.
All of my goals seem to be tied together… go to more open mics/plays/indie film festivals, meet new people (a muse maybe?), go to writing/film workshops, meet people who need creative services…
Applying for a famed writing workshop this summer. Going to take a poetry course in school during fall semester. Since I can’t seem to make moves without some sort of guide and an outside force I’ll just make sure such a force is always around.

1. Stop telling Eden she’s pretty/gorgeous/beautiful etc… instead praise her for her intelligence, efforts and attempts to be independent.
2. Stop using pink for everything… it gives a foundation for absolute gender roles… boys do this…girls do that… Let her be defined by her own interests.
3. Find books with strong female characters, buy toys traditionally associated with boys (play tools, action hero costumes, etc)
4. Ban Barbie and Disney they do nothing but perpetuate the idea of prince charming and flawed body image
5. Build my own self-esteem and watch what I say about myself and my body (watch it for now but move towards positive affirmations for myself)
