Any Day – Do What You Can

What a day. What a week. What a life.

Let me tell you what happened. I’ll start at the beginning. Six days and twelve hours ago, I decided to go to a popular library in town. It’s a  nonprofit library where professional screenwriters can sit and do their work and have writing resources. I went there so I could start getting used to being around people in my industry again instead of working at home. When I got back to my car, this guy flagged me down to speak with me. I stopped and talked to him and we exchanged info. I wasn’t sure if I was actuallly going to call him or meet up with him again and so I just kept his number. Two days later, I went to my spiritual center. I don’t usually go on Wednesday night, but that night, I wanted to go to a dance class they offer after service, so I decided to go. Right after service, I’m on my way to dance class, and who do I run into? The guy I met. I’ll call him Mr. Proper because he has a really big vocabulary and even bigger principles that he lives by, and he speaks very proper English.  I took our second meeting as a sign and decided to connect with him. A few days later, we met for lunch, and I find out that he is a supermodel (I actually remember seeing him on several commercials, videos, movies and ads) who is now transitioning into filmmaking. He is cochair of an artists’ networking group, and he invites me to come to one of their meetings. So I come. The meeting was yesterday. At the meeting, I meet this other guy that people have been telling me I need to meet. He is the producer of a very popular film that is similar in theme to one of the films I’ve written and he runs a production company that has a partnership with one of the big Hollywood production companies and he is looking for content. He just happens to be from the same city my parents are from and also speaks their language. So, he and I are just talking and joking and we exchange info. Shortly after I leave the meeting, he calls me on the phone and we talk for almost an hour. He tells me to send him my writing…

On top of that, I get information from a company that is interested in this blog. They want to make it into a book…

Mr. Almost Famous and I had a wonderful closure conversation where he told me that he was going to fight for his love but wanted us to continue a friendship. I hold him in such high regard that I feel lucky that he would even want to be my friend. Dream Lover called me and said he would like to fight for my love. I’m not sure if he has what it takes to win me back, but I’ll let God take care of that. I know what it’s like to actually feel my heart alive again and I know that it’s possible for me to be with an honorable man that I adore and so I’ll keep that vibration high and keep my heart open.

I am happy again. Or rather, I may be truly happy for the first time in my life, because my happiness doesn’t depend on me having one thing or another. Mr. Proper said that I smile and laugh with all of me. Can you believe it? I remember not too long ago I couldn’t even get the corners of my mouth to turn upwards, much less smile, but I’m that girl now. I’m becoming one of those people, the ones that radiate Love, the ones who are at peace with themselves, the ones who do what they are called to do in this world… I am becoming who I was meant to be. My heart is clean and my mind is clear and I am excited about what the new day may bring. I am overwhelmed with Gratitude…

The nature of this blog is changing, and the content is changing too. I’m not sure which direction It’s going, but as soon as I get some clarity, I’ll let you know. Thank you for being with me on this journey. I needed this. I needed you, anyone, someone to care. I needed to know that I am not alone, and I tell you, I am not alone. We are not alone on our journeys even in our darkest nights.

So how not to cry every day? I’ve found the answer! Pray if you need to. Talk to yourself. Write a blog. Exercise. Make a list. Read a book. Get off the bed. Drink some water. Find a friend. Clean your house. Do something you always dreamed of doing. Scrub your feet. Take a bath. Share just one smile with anyone who will receive it. Open your arms in the sunlight and soak up anything good from anywhere. Forgive somebody. Apply for a job. Connect with another human being any way you can. Do what you can. Do what you can and watch what happens…

Any Day
