It all begins April 1st but this is no April Fools joke. I am going to LA for the whole month of April to work with casting agents and producers for Reality TV. Yep, I had a idea for a show (based on my real life) years ago and it has finally grown some legs. I have meetings lined up. I have classes lined up and of course I will be working my full time job from there as well.
Some of you may or may not know I love turning hobbies into money and I have for many years as well as helping other people do the same. I guess that's why I am called a serial entrepreneur. I have had many careers and always enjoyed each one. I have said for many years that one day acting, TV and Reality TV will either be a hobby or a career for me.
This is my chance! I was talking to a casting agent this week and he said, "I can't believe that will up and move to LA for even a month." I said, "Yep." He said, "Brave, it's one thing to do it at 20 but a whole other thing to brave it at 50." My LA friends say, "Tell Wayne to be prepared you will never want to leave California." I guess that might be true too. I am sure that most won't understand my leaving my home and my family to pursue this life long dream but I don't really care who understands it. Wayne understands and that's all that matters.
It's not an easy thing to do, I mean I still have my work from/travel job. I work 50 hours a week at that job and It's rewarding. So to pack three suitcases and say in an AirBnN for 28 days is quite the transition. I think of it as the great adventure that happened 30 years later than I had planned. At 20, being a girl from south GA who had never flown in an airplane and had no skills or potential for employment, I could have never done such a thing. It's never easy to do such a hard thing but I know, It will be worth it. New friends, new experiences. Travel always gives you back more than you expect. I have no attachment to the outcome of my 28 days in LALA :) Land. I only have attachment to the process of the going and doing, like I have felt called to do for so many years.
Think about it. My initials are LA and my granddaughter calls me LALA. Isn't only fitting that I go and explore LALA Land? Stay tuned!
