I won’t forget last Thursday anytime soon. I flew to Minneapolis to screen “America the Beautiful,” for an awesome eating disorders treatment facility called “The Emily Program.”
About three weeks before the June 19th screening, one of their employees called me and informed me that they wanted to add a 9:30pm show in addition to the [...]

I’d like to bring something to your attention. “America the Beautiful,” isn’t supposed to exist. At least not in the form where you’d ever actually see it. I’ve had to fight all the conventional wisdom of Hollywood. This is how it’s supposed to go – 1. You make an independent film. 2. When you’re done, [...]

I believe that each person is born with a special gift and our job is to discover that gift within ourselves, develop it and give it back to the world. My gift is music and when I sing or perform music and share it with others, I feel the most fulfilled and most beautiful.
Another beauty – I have a good heart and feel great empathy toward others. For many, many years I thought there was something wrong with me because sometimes I would be so taken with another’s emotional state that I couldn’t concentrate on what was being said in a small group or even in one-on-one situations. I would feel overwhelmed by someone else’s emotional pain, insecurities or even their anger – though they might be smiling – and would clam up. Over time, I have learned to better balance this intuitive understanding with steady verbal skills so that I can participate more comfortably in the world around me and, hopefully, make others more comfortable when we speak. Now, instead of seeing this understanding of others as a curse, I see it was a gift because it allows me to reach out to those around me.
