This week has been…challenging. But those weeks happen, you know what I'm talking about. I need a break to sit, to think, to brainstorm, to dream, to plan, to be inspired, to write, to create, to get motivated, to start…. I also have New York City on my mind at the moment, too, and can't get past it. So for this weekend, that's where I am – even if it's just in my imagination – while I try and work… Read more »

On top of that I am also producing my first short film, writing this blog, exercising five or so times a week, and trying to… Read more »
