Breakdown? Breakthrough.
*I wrote this screenwriting blog series about 6 months ago–it took me this long to get the BALLS to post it.* After years and years of building a business, I shut everything down last year. I pulled the plug and walked away. It was sucking the life out of me. I didn’t recognize myself anymore. Who had I become? I call it my Jerry Maguire breakdown. Breakdown? Breakthrough. It was an incredibly difficult decision, but I was finally free. It was exciting and terrifying.... Read More
Social Media Sabbatical
So, I’m not entirely sure how I decided that I needed a Social Media Sabbatical, like, right this very minute, but I just asked my good friend Melani to change the passwords on my Facebook & Twitter accounts and had her promise not to tell me what they are, no matter how much I might beg and plead until next year. January. 1st. 2012. Whaaaaaa? How am I going to do this? I think I might be cheating already. Because I’m writing this before I’ve actually... Read More
Let’s Get Loud
My friend Marci and I watched Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda this weekend. I miss them *so* much! (Sex & The City movie, in case you’ve been living on a deserted island and these names don’t sound familiar….) It was a long movie, I was out waaay past my bedtime! But we had a great sushi dinner first and a fun date with our very own Mr. Big’s. Today’s blog was inspired by the faaaaabulous J.Lo. and her song “Let’s Get Loud”- go throw your hands... Read More

One Love, One Life
One Life – You Got To Do What You Should… Vanity Fair July 2007 Did you recognize that line, from U2/Bono’s song “One”? I attended a ONE.org meeting this month with my friends Laura and Michele. We had a fun night out and learned about this great organization that is dedicated to making poverty history. Some things I give my time to, and other things I give my money. It depends on my schedule and on the specific cause that is calling to me. Today’s blog contains... Read More
Be the *Rock Star* of Your Life
Do you feel like the Rock Star of your life? Do you want to be? First, let me give you my definition of Rock Star. I’m not talking about trashing hotel rooms and drinking until you fall down. I’m talking about living your life with arms wide open, embracing your Biggest Self and then letting your Unique-ness come out to play on a daily basis. It means living at the top of your game. It means operating your life on a very high level, whether you are standing on a stage or... Read More
You’ve Got to Have B.A.L.L.S.
Last week I was having coffee with a new acquaintance, “Jen” who just happens to be one of the most successful business women I’ve ever met. I was sharing one of my crazy manifesting stories when Jen leaned into me, as if she was about to share some juicy bit of gossip and said; “Sandy, you have got such big balls.” Ahhhhhh! I fell backward, mouth wide open and began to laugh hysterically. “What are you talking about?!” The rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking... Read More
Defying Gravity
“Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep. It’s time to trust my instincts. Close my eyes, and leap! It’s time to try defying gravity.” photo by Joan Marcus 2003 What is that feeling that rises up within me? Where does it come from? I call it The Glimpse. You get a glimpse out of the corner of your eye of what is... Read More
