Brett, I dont remember. I attend short film programs at film festivals all over the Midwest.

Yep. I saw an animated short film where there were people milling around. One of them eventually got a great idea, started to change, sprout butterfly wings, and fly above the crowd. Before they soared very high, the crowd grabbed the individual and drug them back down to their level and beat the individual to a pulp. I think this happens more often than we think. Others fear the individual who shows them that you can be different or do great things. Dont let others fear cause you to change your own standards.

I have made it my goal to simplify my life this year and you were part of my inspiration. I started getting rid of all the things which owned me. Things which I had drug around the country for years - GONE. I lost 30+ lbs and still going. I became brutally honest with myself. I decide each and every day to be happy. Its my choice.

I would recommend a book which helped me. Its called 'Losing Control, Finding Serenity'. It has forced me to deal with some of the personal traits which has held me back in life.I feel like I am going through a metamorphosis. Its an exciting time in my life and I am grateful for your posts Tynan. Thank you. I hope to run into you on the road one day.
