When you stop asking ‘What’s in it for me?’ or ‘What do I get out ofit?’ or ‘How much do I get paid?’ and start focusing on the things that truly make you happy and feed your soul, good things can happen!

I was asked recently to help a friend out with a project of his.  He is an artsy guy and the project was an artsy one.  No pay.  No anything, except the satisfying of an artistic need of mine to create something interesting and new.  I said ‘Yes, I would be happy to help.”

The artistic endeavor was for me to have my photo taken.  Can you imagine?  Me?  Having my photo taken?  Oh no!  Whatever will I do?!

The photo would then be sliced in with other images as a poem is read as narration.

Having participated in the project was enough for me, but guess what I was told this week!?!

The  project, called ‘Men Together’ by Jared Mitchell has been selected by The Canadian Film Makers Distribution Centre as an entry for the 5th Zebra Poetry Film Festival taking place in Berlin Germany!!  What!!!???

Advice: Do something today that feeds your soul!
