Make Your Own Luck

I know; that sounds like a line of bad TV dramedy dialogue…but I do have an excellent, non-cheesy point. One of the many, oh so many things this business has taught me is that half the battle is getting out of your own way. If you can actually identify your mistakes, learn from them and…

“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life–and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”- Georgia O’Keeffe I have a girl-crush of long-standing on the famously cranky Ms. O’Keeffe and her striking art. Check out Joan Didion’s book of essays, The White Album, for one prickly…
