Movie you have to see before class!

Hey everyone hope your week is going really well. Wanted to recommend watching a movie that perfectly portrays the archetypes of the week - Lover/Actor. Got to see Mr and Mrs Joneses - it is all about keeping up with the Joneses. It is a great example of authentic versus fake and very inspirational!

Homework showed up today

Hello everyone - just wanted to say that today I did part fo the homework. I went out to a Womens Wellness group with Mary McMahon. It was great I did not know anyone and got an opportunity to introduce myself as a Creative Consultant. It was really cool. My experience was interesting. I noticed that alot of the people there as they shared their stories got wrapped up in what as going on in their heads and completely lost track of time. I attribute doing the focus group to training on being able to share and be intentional and stay present. It was a very empowering experience and everyone asked for my card! Woo Hoo! So that was my opportunity to be with a group of people I didn't know and open up and be vunerable and it was so much easier than I thought! The lady next to me wants to get together to talk more about waht I do and how it can potentially help her business. How exciting! I learned overall - the key to success is to show up and open my mouth. That was the hardest part! Ironically! By opening my heart, I became a money magnet and suddenly got called for a job with another client I had not ever worked with and have wanted to. So I am inspired and ready to take on the world!

Tomorrow is our first shoot day. I can not tell you how long I have waited for this moment and to think it is tomorrow is so exciting!     

"It's your representation of the image that theaters the rest." That's what I thought I heard when watching the movie, Sherlock Holmes on Saturday night. I thought, surely this movie could not be so profound and so relevant to creating a role. I guess I needed to hear being my role will create the world around me.

Oh, and it's no surprise that the final imaging of Holmes in the movie is that of him mirrored as if art reflecting life. I immediately recalled the struggle I had in interpreting Chapter 1 of The Order of Things, a book I'm reading. The chapter describes the experience of a painting, Las Meninas, and how the code of signs (sign posts) ground the representations. There it goes again. My role creates a world.

Ahhh Sherlock Holmes. A movie of levels and layers, well beyond the representations created my most of us humans. An Extraordinary Experience, I say.

Response to Mark's Synchronicity :)

What? You don't see how the anti-bacterial hand gel fits in? I do! It is there to remind you that it is okay to "get your hands dirty". Be assured it will all turn out perfect in the end.
In other words, go for it dude! :)

My resume is complete

Just wanted to say my resume is complete for creative Consulting thanks to Melissa. It is not just an ordinary resume it is extraordinary! Perfect timing in a week where we are defining our identity even more than usual and making choices that are consistent with that. A resume is a perfect way of seeing whether my actions have been consistent with what I say I am committed to. I learned this week that sales have always been the area of my business that I find is the least fun - but I am learning that being a consultant takes mastery in sales. So I had to break through my resistance about that! Now I am in action fully! And as we move on to the next level - I will be ready to make the money and feel the joy that comes from my efforts.

Comment to Marks blog

That is so great Mark - sounds like you were on FIRE! Perfect! And your writing was crystal clear - I was taken on a journey. Can't wait to read your script!

I love that experience of synchronicity! It feels like you are right on track! And................ it is perfect, right?  There is nothing more exciting than being in the creative flow and piercing that veil and seeing that everything that you are saying is created instantly!
