Holidays are coming! Can you get it done???

Why of course we can get it done!

Even though I love the holidays, there is a certain inherent pressure, mostly due to myself, but sometimes due to outside sources.  

How long is your list of "things to do?"  I am sure - pretty long.

Work, family, personal, kids, needs, wants and wishes.........it swirls all around you - each "area" needing just a little bit of your time.  That all adds up!

This assignment which was executed a while ago and was a SWIRL!  Funny, because when Holiday work is shooting in July - there still is that build up of pressure and I think some of that simply is like the needs of our business.  Hurry up, get it done, make sure it is perfect, find a good deal and it has to be on time!

This project was just that.  Quick, great quality, cost efficient and checked all of the boxes.  These are exactly the projects that we love to do.  Creative and needed.

Give us a ring........we can make it happen!

Endless Possibilities..............

Collaborations that are of a creative nature are a bit like a marriage, some give and take, some hard work, great ideas, thinking out of the box and some hustle.  

We've decided to work together and make these things happen. We have imagination, a lot of heart and can't wait to work on projects together and hopefully, with many of you. 

It's a big world out there and we are ready to give it our combined efforts, and with that comes endless possibilities.  

Cheers to us!  Can't wait for what lies ahead.

Would you turn your back on me?

Would you turn your back on me?

It's a tough question to struggle with when you let fear creep into your life.  We need to fight the fear.  We need to be ready to accept others and to offer help to those in need.  I do not want to let terrorism and fear take over my life and I won't let it.

I have been so proud of the work that Rodney has done over the years as he gives of himself in so many ways.  He is a true hero to me.  

He works on projects that give of himself to help others.

Offer your hand and help.  Rodney does.  

I will.

Will you?

Appreciation, everyday.

Yes, Veterans Day was earlier this week.  

A day that is set aside as an acknowledgement, yet we really do need to say thank you all the time, everyday.  Hard to remember to do that...........but so worthwhile.  

Appreciation:  the gratitude for something, a full understanding of a situation or the recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.

Topher is keenly aware of how precious each day, each hour and each moment can be.  Make the most out of life.  Choose wisely and appreciate, everyday.

Goal Setting.

Setting a goal, then reaching higher.

Are you an overachiever like me?  Total Type A.  I love to try and make it all happen.  I'm a bit headstrong, hard working, all about solutions, love to take on issues and champion for the little guy.  Sometimes, I find, I'm last on the list.

My achievements are normally more focused on achieving for others. 

Is that a bad or a good thing?

Good.  I am here to serve others.  I am about setting goals, working with others, collaborating, making things happen, action oriented........for projects, people, passions & companies.

Bad. How can I really do the right thing for others if I don't think about me?

It's all a balance, isn't it?  Setting goals and then making a plan how to achieve it, but for me too.  I have learned over the years that I will be much better for everyone else, if I am good to myself too.  You need to do that as well and you need to surround yourself with people that get that.  Life is short.  Work with people that are all about supporting you (you personally and you in other walks of life).  

Set a goal and let's go get it.  Together.  

You AND me and my creatives that are ready to work for you!

Light and Bright..........

Pure joy.

Keeping things light and bright and sharing all the goodness.  This image really captures the moment and all that exudes as she is singing deep from her soul.  I love when imagery can shout out that raw emotion and capture the true feeling.

I hope that within each day, as we face our normal schedule and busy lifestyles, that we take time to let it all hang out and enjoy the moments.  Last week was a very busy production with a number of challenges, yet there were bright spots throughout the experience.  People that I had the chance to collaborate with that were phenomenal, locations that we shot that were incredible little diamonds in the rough, weather than happened to support our exact needs and issues that tried to rear their crazy little heads were re-routed into positive opportunities.  All in all, we made the best out of what was around us and celebrated.

Keeping things on track for making the best out of all situations.  Topher used this opportunity for good.  His project was to work on a great video, he walked away with so much more than simply producing an incredible video project........he walked away with great creative product and a tighter respect for the many people he work with.  A fruitful experience for all, focused on the good stuff.

Life lived well!

Follow the leader................

Don't you remember playing games as a kid, like Capture the Flag, Simon Says or Follow the Leader?  These games as kids actually started putting each of us on the path toward how well we could do things in the future.  Things that we learn early on, help us as we navigate our direction down the road.  

When on are on a job, you need to pull out all of these learned items and put them to good use.  You must be able to work well with others, show teamwork and patience, navigate differences of opinion, understand the assets and capabilities of people around you, collaborate on ideas and perspectives...........whether it's for business, sports, production and basically, life.

Today, I'm sitting, working on the computer on a production (kind of like study hall), with client, agency and production all lined up working, and our week, so far...........has entailed all of these areas of expertise.  Ironic that along the way - all of our skills have been mustered from experience and some people get it, while others are still learning and working on that craft.  It's simply the way it is.  Fortunately, like follow the leader - we get to learn from each other and store that information away and pull it out sooner or later.

A little bit of knowledge is taken away after each shoot, each job, each experience.  It makes us better and hopefully it improves who we are, as we continue on the path of life.
