This little video was shot in Bryant park, behind the New York City library in Nov 2010, just after I had attended Marie Forleo’s Rich Happy & Hot event.
I was inspired to talk about how taking the first step toward a goal is the best thing you can do and that from there all sorts of great things will happen. Oh and if you could help me wish for my long hair again, that would be fabulous!!
PS at the end of the video I mention the ‘Sassy Minx Club’ well that was it’s first incarnation, it’s now the Sassy Minx Society and you can join by popping your details into the form on the top right of the home page or go here
If you have visited this site more than once you’ll know it tends to be all about video, how you can do it better and how I can help you to Shine on Screen.
Now that’s still true but being great in front of the camera is rooted somewhere a little deeper. It’s rooted in your self confidence, self esteem and most importantly how you express yourself and want to be in the world.
Self expression is my key driver. Without it I feel stunted, stuck and silenced. But I also know that expression without a goal [though fine and dandy when you just HAVE to say what you wanna say] can, with repetition, seem like a stone rattling around in an empty can.
All noise and no intent.
And so it’s important to know what your self expression is for. Is it to achieve your goals? Is it to help others? Perhaps helping others IS achieving your goal.
Last year I had a chat with my wonderful friend & constant inspiration, Lee Chalmers about what it means to have a dream or a goal and why it is crucial to your self development.
Have a wee watch and let me know what you think in the comments.

This little video from the archive was my first attempt to play with GFX / titles as a way in which to express lost love. It was also part of my 31 days of Gratitude project I did back in Oct 2011.
You may have read ‘lost love’ and thought “oh great, angst and hand wringing, gah” Not this time but had I been so inclined, the whole song would have played with just the title “LOVE SUCKS BALLS” on the screen all the way through.
Now I aint no motion graphics superstar but I did have fun playing with different titles and matching them to the music. I used Final Cut Pro to cut this with just the the inbuilt title tool [I've yet to get the hang of 'Motion'] I continue to work on how to do this better but as with all things, practice and play make perfect.
