People have been asking me why the sudden move to E-commerce and junking? The truth is, I hope I am pulling a Katherine Hepburn. Mid-way through her career she had a series of flops that made her box office poison. There was no way they were going to give her another movie role. So she went back to doing what she did best. She sold herself on stage, on broadway, to sold out crowds in a hit play that she picked out herself and even bought the movie rights to. Suddenly, Hollywood wanted to make a movie of this brilliant play that was a sensation on broadway. So Kate Hepburn got her ticket back to Hollywood. Because she owned the movie rights, they couldn't do it without her. That movie? The Philadelphia Story. ( for those not in the know, be very impressed.) It starred Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart. (bet you've heard if those guys)
I take a lot of inspiration from that. What Kate Hepburn did was turn an awful event that could have ruined her career with one that saved it and made her a hell of a lot of money. So if your life is moving on a track you don't like---change trains. Start something you love. But here's the thing, in this world, if you really want it, I've learned you've got to go all in and work your ass off in the process. It's got to be the first thing you think of in the morning and the last at night. And then it still might not work.
Just remember-it may not be the best of times or the worst of times, buts it's sure as hell all we got...
After that pious little speech, I've learned I have a certain skill at rowing. God's wicked sense of humor since I can't swim hardly at all. I mean, at all.
Lately, I've been falling. I fell in the laundry room, fell at the gym. I thought there was something wrong again with my ears. But then I realised that it was because I'm constantly doing things I've never done before or very little of and I'm a klutz. Gotta love great epiphanies. It's not my ears, it's doing stuff that is always new, trying different things, whether it's vinegar in the laundry to a rowing machine. I feel like a badass. And very very very VERY sore.
