An Actors Conundrum
We actors live in such a conundrum. We chose a profession where our craft requires us to be the art that's on display. A painter, sculptor, poet, and other similar forms of art that are consumed by the public, can personally stand apart from the work they put out. We as actors cannot. We're it. Yet to really do our work well, we also must learn to step away from it. Therein lies the conundrum. How does an actor successfully allow the story they're telling to be front and center, without that nagging self-consciousness of the awareness of being seen creeping in? It's my belief that this is what Stanislavsky, and others before and after him, were in search of. They knew that an individuals default mode was, to put it in the words of Laurence Olivier when Dustin Hoffman asked why he thinks they chose this profession, Olivier replied… “Look at me, look at me, look at me.”

How to Choose a Job That's Right for You
Finding a job is one thing. Finding a job that suits you (and that you’ll love), is something else completely. Sure, you might be able to fill a certain position in the “help wanted” section. If you don’t enjoy the job, however, your overall happiness is likely to suffer. Job dissatisfaction can even impact your health.

Loving the Delete Button
I’m getting quite a bit of enjoyment deleting influencers and laptop lifestylers off my Instagram account. They just don’t do it for me. I didn’t even know how most of them got there in the first place. Then I remembered some years ago I clicked on a post claiming to ‘boost your followers for free.’ Which did the opposite. Made me a follower of hundreds of profiles for free. What a sucker. At least I know I’m not the only one 🤣

Post High School Career Options
While leaving high school may be a relief for some, charting out the next few years of life becomes a very important step for the career-minded. There are at least four options for the high school graduate. Taking a year or more off as a gap year to live life and defer a career decision is one possibility. Many opt to enroll in a two or four year college degree program. The third choice is to become an apprentice learning a trade and earning at the same time. Finally, joining the U.S. military may be a possible path for some.

I'm Not a Writer; I Just Write
Phew! Let me just start off saying that this post, like many ones that consist of rambling thoughts but all, somehow, circle back into each other. This particular post is a deeper explanation on the idea of me identifying myself as a "writer" and this perfectionism idea that runs rapid through my head when I am approached with a question of "How do you identify myself as a writer?" Further, the question regarding my writing and my process still leaves me with responding in the most humble response I can muster.

Court Reporter: How Do I Become a Court Reporter?
The role of a court reporter is a crucial one. Trials, hearings, depositions, and other legal meetings are documented to maintain complete and accurate legal records of the proceedings. Court reporters are the ones responsible for creating this written record. Content in the written record may be used in further legal proceedings, may inform court orders that are issued, or may be used in an appeal or even another lawsuit. All courts maintain thorough documentation of all legal proceedings, which has spurred a high demand for court reporters. Court reporters may also be responsible for using the technology that provides closed captioning for individuals who are deaf so that they can follow proceedings.
