So, I've picked up the blogging bug again, thanks to my lovely sister who is blogging about her amazing experiences teaching underprivileged students in rural China. You can read her awesome stories here.
Speaking of awesome stories, I firmly believe that we are all writing stories with our lives. My sister is currently writing one of adventure and sacrifice. I've been thinking a lot lately about what kind of story I'm writing - we're all writing. (Thanks to the author Don Miller for planting this idea in my head with his book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.) Especially in an industry of storytelling, I find this fascinating.
It's no secret that I'm a huge TV Nerd who loves about a billion different worlds and stories on the small screen. Not only are these entertaining stories, but they are ones with plots and characters that inspire us to be and do more. (Or in the case of certain unnamed reality shows - give us examples of things we DON'T want to be!) I'm thankful for an amazing job at Warner Bros. Worldwide TV Marketing, so I should take a brief moment to say this is my personal blog, and my views are not necessarily those of my rockin' company. I'll be posting that in the info section of this blog, too.
Going forward my posts will be largely about the good stories I'm seeing lived out around me in the greater Los Angeles area, as well as life lessons I've gleaned from some of my favorite scripted television series. Of course, this blog wouldn't be complete without a few dog-related posts here and there. If you know me, you know my husband, Kristopher, and I are obsessed with our 7 month old, 70 pound, adopted lap dog. Napoleon is a cutie - wouldn't you agree?
Not everyone knows this, but Kristopher and I are part of the Kairos Hollywood community. We greatly prize having a group of people to do life and faith with, learn to love better, and serve our city. A lot of my stories from the past 3 years here in Los Angeles involve people or events from Kairos, and I can't wait to share some of these moving moments with you.
Expect a post at least once a week from me. Flexing the writing muscle can be good for the soul, right?
Have a great week ahead (Halloween time!), and I hope you (and me) write a worthwhile story with our lives this week!
