Welcoming a New Year...

... and all the greatness it has to offer.

    2016 was rough. We, as a whole, were dealt a rough hand filled with tragedies, losses, and moments of despair. Personally, there were some difficulties I faced as well, but thankfully nothing too serious or detrimental, so overall, I am thankful for all of the goodness around me; friends, family, health, wealth, and happiness. Still, I faced a few growing pains that I have learned I must be patient with. The older I get the more I learn about patience. And the more I learn about patience, the more I also learn about action. How after enough patience, enough waiting, listening, learning, watching... action can and should be taken.
   I feel like I have spent the last year coasting, waiting for things to take off, for my life to begin in a lot of ways. This year, with patience, and my desire to finally take a little more action, step by step, I'm hoping to make some changes. So, here's to being more creative and working harder to finding ways to do the things I love like write and film more, take improv to the next few levels, and travel to the places I've always wanted - and to see what more I can do with my love for Halloween. May not happen all at once, or even all this year, but if not now, when? I just feel it's vital now more than ever to go after the things that fulfill me. After all, a wise witch I always looked up to once uttered some of the best advice I've ever heard, and I think it's time to follow it; "Magic is really very simple, you just have to want something and let yourself have it."

Happy New Year to All

Here's to a new year of grand fortune!

Wishing all of my spooky friends a lovely new year! I'm really hoping to achieve a lot this year when it comes my work. When many of us say 'work,' we mean the job we are paid to do, more so than the job we love to do - hopefully one day I can make that word 'work' an all-encompassing word to describe both. As a graduate, I'm still in that awkward 'I don't know how I'll get there, but I know where I want to be eventually' stage, so I'm learning to live with it and grow as I go. I guess I just have to keep doing what I love no matter what! Cheers to all who carry on with their passion whether it be for art, writing, or, of course, haunting!
