What is the Universe Saying? (File under paying attention to the signposts)

Robert Frost (a Theta Delta Chi brother just like me) once wrote;

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I really have taken the road less traveled to get to where I am today. It has not been easy. It has been rife with challenged and obstacles. But those obstacles have made me who I am. And while I’m not every ones cup of tea I am proud of who I am and what I have become.

So, as I am trying to get extra work, a project fell into my lap (care of Chef), which was a television project. I’m not sure how much they have out in the public so I’m not going to say much about it. Merely that I did speak with a marvelous woman from Paperny Films (http://www.papernyfilms.com/ ) after sending her a brief note of introduction. She asked me to send a CV and some pictures and then we would have a little chat.

We spoke for a while on the phone about who I am and though I would have loved to be what they were looking for on this show it would appear that they need someone younger. I did reassure her that I do not look old and that I have boundless energy. But to no avail. She said that I was not what they were looking for on this show but that she would like to keep me around as they are constantly working on new shows and that she felt I may be right for something in the future.

It is always exciting when I think about the possibility of doing a TV show. Though I do feel it might take away from what I am trying to do. However, this particular one would have been brilliant as it would have given me the opportunity to learn a whole lot from some very talented Chefs.

I have a show idea that I would love to tell her about but I have not yet put it together on paper. For me the timing is not right yet. But when it is I now have another contact that I can take it to.

So the reason I ask what the universe is telling me is that this is the second show to come across my desk in the past six months. It is very exciting to think about. And for me a show would be the road less traveled. My whole life right now is just that, the road less traveled. And I am as excited as ever with what I am doing, what I am achieving and what I am becoming every day.

Marquis de Vauvenargues once said; “The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one's opportunities and make the most of one's resources.”

Are you dreaming big and inspired? What’s stopping you? Dreams are free and freeing!
