Hi Rich,

I'll talk to you tomorrow. Today turned out to be a rather long and full day for me. I just want to talk to you and get some feedback about your thoughts on where the industry is going and how best to serve our talent. I've had some "interesting" experiences on this site and just would like to bounce some thoughts around with you.

Thanks and have a good evening,

Donna

Hi Rich,

Let's not make it hard. Let's support each other by being in the flow. Keeping our minds on what's in the NOW and not using past filters to decide what is real today is a start.

Can I reach you privately? I have an issue that I would like to bounce off a "like spirit" , if it's okay with you.

Thanks,

Donna

Donna, Thanks for the comment. It's hard to balance spiritual growth and professional growth. We are in a business that loves to spoil the mind with material pursuit and self indulgence. Money and things are a part of everything we do, and more so in entertainment. I feel if I keep my mind on my skills and my person , I will get what's coming to me, no need to obsess over it. The saying, "Money is the root of all evil" is not true. Money can be a blessing. It's the obsessive pursuit of it is the root of all evil. That's what I think anyway.. ;-) Rich
