Crazy, Amazing...
I am a very lucky person. I mean, truly lucky. Like, one-in-a-million chance, blessed, Lightning-coming-down-from-on-high type of lucky. I have my problems, I have my off-days and my crushing self-doubts. But, I get to be myself on my own terms and get paid to do something that I love...every day.
And it gets even better. I get to do this because I am AMAZINGLY lucky in the people I know.
I know (by family, friendship, acquaintance or working relationship) some of the most talented, creative and supportive people in the world. People who are not only creative and supportive, but inspirational in their abilities and the things that they create--who are kindred in their senses of humor and passion. Who inspire me to do my best And I meet new people all the time.
I would not be able to do what I do without them.
And it is even more amazing to me that these people I know inspire others, some of whom have never met them, let alone eaten and drank with them, or just walked around and talked and just been friends.
These are people who entertain and inspire people all over the world as well as myself...and are my friends.
And they tell me insane things--like that someday it will be me inspiring others.
It is a crazy, amazing life.
And whether it is fortune, providence or just a confluence of luck, talent and being at the right place at the right time...I am grateful beyond measure and thankful for it. And if you are reading this, you are probably one of those people I am talking about.
So, thank you.
For everything.
