“Dear Actor…
Dear Artist…
You will ‘know’ your creative tribe…
When you can live your most authentic genuine Self in each other’s presence…
You will never feel ‘alone’ in the work…
And you will never walk away feeling lonely…
There will always be a willing generosity of Spirit…
There will always be an undeniable human to human energetic sharing…
There will always be a connection…
There will always be a wanting to give…
And as we have seen with what is going on in our world today…
Sometimes it is through the darkest of moments…
And sometimes it is through the most inexplicable of circumstances…
That guide us…
That lead us…
Or that detour us…
To that tribe…
Those same circumstances…
That we may think are causing us to crumble…
Or break our hearts…
And our Spirit…
Are the same circumstances…
That actually break our hearts open…
And allow our Spirit…
To be IN-Spirited (inspired)…
Opening our mind, body and soul…
And awakening us to something greater than we could have ever imagined…
Those same circumstances that begin to help lead the path to our greatest purpose…
Our greatest potential…
And so we find our tribe…
Or our tribe finds us…
A tribe that meets through the most unlikely…
And yet, likely, of circumstances…
A tribe that is generous in knowledge, skill, creativity, heart, compassion, passion, love, support, kinship, responsibility, accountability, creativity, talent and Spirit…
As we continue to walk our path as artists together…
We must remember to remain students of life…
We have to be mindful to never allow the ego to rob us of the growth our work and life itself has to offer us…
There is an inexplicable creative currency in growth..
Get ‘paid’ in growth…
Keep learning…
We must continue to hold ourselves to the same demands that our art form demands…
Understand that that demand is what keeps us all striving to be and do our absolute very best…
As artists…
As actors…
We must continue to strive, discover and walk toward our very own excellence…
And run like hell from mediocrity…
We must continue to work hard on the path toward all of our artistic dreams…
And know in our heart of hearts…
That all the sweat equity we put into our work and dreams…
Will indeed pay off…
And so we do so together…
We do the work…
As our very own actor tribe…
As an ensemble…
And we continue to get ‘paid’ by all of our growth…
Because we love the work…
And because we simply want to!”
Much Love,
