I believe in The Force. We all are made from it, we can connect to it, and it can help us when we need it. Our culture, as those who love sci fi, fantasy and horror genres, is steeped in it. I’m not talking about religion, I’m talking about our ability to call on something deep inside ourselves to transcend our circumstances. The Hero’s Journey. It’s a real thing.
In my Fireside Chat on 8/16, I talk about my career in stunt work and how I survived by using certain tools. You can listen to the replay here.

NOW I’m upgrading those tools to THRIVE!
In The Empire Strikes Back, Luke says “I don’t believe it.” and Yoda responds “And that is why you fail.”
Henry Ford said “Whether you believe you can or you believe you can’t, you’re right.”
My journey started when I was broken, scared, and out of ideas. I finally said, “Ok, show me”. And I started to find the magic again.
The tools I used as a stuntwoman, you can use in your life.

Luke doesn’t start off knowing a thing about how to use the Force, or even that it exists! He has to take Obi Wan’s word for it. And it’s HARD. He feels foolish. His life has been full of loneliness, abandonment and pain. And yet, he finds the courage to open up to the possibility. He wants something more in his life. He starts to admit he is seeing something rather magical, and that begins his Hero’s Journey.
Reluctant tho you may be, you have a journey available to you too. If you choose to let the magic guide you, adventure awaits you.

” How Do I Start?” I hear you ask.
–All these points I talk about in my Fireside Chat. I hope you can find a time to listen to it if you haven’t already.
* Stay open in heart and mind. Find a COMMUNITY you can trust, who is open and working with these ideas too. A group of people who has your back, and you have theirs. Folks who want to see you soar!
* Reconnect to your PASSIONS, by remembering the things you loved as a child. My love for making up stories with my Francie doll, turned into a career as an actress. Your hobbies and creative endeavors opens your heart and mind, brings you peace and joy, and the whole world benefits.
* VISUALIZING what you want brings it to you, sometimes in unexpected forms. What we focus on, we bring to us. Breaking out of old patterns and limiting beliefs by bringing into focus what you want to feel.
* OVERCOMING FEAR by putting it into the back seat and not letting it steer. Developing the muscle to push past limiting fears and stepping out of our comfort zone and into your Hero’s Journey!
And a lot of fun Hollywood stories along the way.
I want so much for you! To have peace and joy, love and FUN in your life. Adventure all along the way! And courage to keep going, even when things are dark and scary. I know. I have been there.
