What's Happening? – June 21

June 21, 2012 By Dawn Leave a Comment

Well, it’s been a busy month.  Finished recording one audiobook, started another and am in the middle of recording a very funny short story for JIAM (June is Audiobook Month).  It’s a comedy/horror about a demon dog named Snowball.  Will include a link to it from my site as soon as I can.  Spent last week at the VOICE 2012 convention in Disneyland reacquainting with old friends, making new ones and learning lots.  My oh my how I love California.  How can any place with such beautiful blue skies and palm trees not be wonderful?  Apparently we even had an earthquake while I was there but we were at the wonderful World of Color demonstration in California Adventure when it hit so felt nothing due to all the sound and color and rushing water at the event.  It is truly a wonder to see – if you have the opportunity, don’t pass it by.

I came across this quote tonight from one of my facebook friends and wanted to share it with you.

He who works with his hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist.

                                                                       ~ St. Francis of Assisi

Have a wonderful week and keep creating!

The Poker Girls are headed to a TV near you!

May 17, 2012 By Dawn Leave a Comment

I love it when good things happen to good people and am even happier that I get to be a part of it! After a great showing at the 2012 Hollyweb Festival in Los Angeles, California and through the hard work, dedication, laughs, love and determination of the cast and crew and it’s fans, The Poker Girls is now a TV show!!!   It will be in rotation on the new US cable station Converg TV as well as on our local Shaw Access Channel 10! The pilot will air June 3rd and I will check on the specific times so I can let everyone know. For any of you with businesses in the Calgary area, advertising opportunities are available. Send me a note if you’d like further details.

I want to extend my best wishes to those who I am honored to work with and call friends.  The series has been a wonderful experience for me and I look forward to what it holds for the future.  In honor of my stiff lipped, booze chugging character, Teresa, let’s all raise a glass to The Poker Girls!

Words of Wisdom – March 11

March 11, 2012 By Dawn Leave a Comment

Well, my words of wisdom seem to be being very well received so here’s a new one for today, again from the Dalai Lama.  This is a really wonderful piece of wisdom that will help to soften the blow of disappointment whenever it strikes.

…everything in the world comes about as a result of many factors.  In any given occurrence, our own actions are only one factor in a great range of causes and conditions.  Similarly, there are always many sides to any situation.  When, therefore, we suffer some misfortune, such as not getting the job we hoped for, it is worth considering that the same decision that disappointed us will have benefited someone else, perhaps someone in greater need.  Though not easy, such considerations can temper our sense of loss with some sympathetic joy at others’ good fortune.  At the same time, the simple act of moving the focus of our attention away from ourselves will have the effect of making the problem appear less unbearable.

That Dalai Lama is one pretty smart guy! Have a great day.

Life is a gamble and full of risks. But without risk, there is no reward. Chase your dreams; roll the dice; go for it. There is little point to this life if we do not pursue happiness. By pursuing our passions, we are able to contribute our special gifts to the world. Too many take the “safe road” rather than taking the path uniquely set out for them, at the expense of all of us.

WORDS OF WISDOM

March 1, 2012 By Dawn Leave a Comment

I’m reading Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World written by the Dalai Lama right now and just had to share.  The Dalai Lama quotes the eighth-century Indian thinker, Shantideva, who said the following:

If there is a solution, then what need is there for dejection?  If there is no solution, then what point is there in dejection?

The Dalai Lama calls this the “no need, no point” approach to dealing with problems.  He goes on to say “If a problem has a solution, then it should not be cause for excessive worry.  Rather than feeling overwhelmed, we should simply work with determination to reach the solution.  If after careful consideration we conclude that there is no solution to be found, we gain nothing by worrying.  Instead, the sooner we acept that the problem cannot be rectified, the easier it will be to carry on with out lives.  Either way, there is no point in excessive worrying!  Not only does it do us no good, but it can severely harm us by making us weaker, or worse, it can lead to depression.”

Truer words were never spoken!  Now, to assimilate that into my life.  There’s the rub!

New Web Series Episode Posted

February 11, 2012 By Dawn Leave a Comment

If you enjoyed Part I of “The Interrogation”, and even if you didn’t, you’re going to love part two.  It is laugh out loud funny if I do say so myself.  At least, I laughed out loud.  But then, I’m kinda silly.  Oh well, hope you enjoy it anyway!
