Cardiac Arrest

If running from the things we fear or the things we just simply don't want to accept is wrong, then why does it always feel like the most tempting and logical option?

 Sometimes, I wish my heart would mind its own doggone business and just pump 

oxygenated blood to the rest of my body and cells like its supposed to.

Starting Over

"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -Benjamin Button

6 months ago I was living on a beach in California, filling out law school applications and trying to find the perfect wording for my personal statement. I had a life all planned for myself. But, if there is one thing I have come to learn about myself its that I am not a planner. Spontaneity is what keeps me going. I don't want to live my life according to a plan. Life has no rubric or guidelines. I want to wake up every morning and do the unexpected.

I'm beginning to see my life in a new light, the light of the cameras. I trashed my law school dreams overnight and am now on my way to a broadcasting degree. I have been given the opportunity to work with both NBC and CBS. I am so in love with the industry I could never picture myself doing anything else.

Never let the odds against you keep you from chasing your dreams, even if it means finding the strength to start all over.
