Keep the Faith!

Niagara Falls – Canada side

I’ve been having a little bit of a busy time lately. I’m working on editing and cleaning up the VO for an audiobook project. It’s great fun finding bits of sound effects to be judiciously added to the action. Not too many, but enough to give an idea of the energy of the chapter. Next will be a mystery audiobook project.

There are also plans for three YouTube voiceover videos in the works. Add to that the usual round of auditions (fingers perpetually crossed!), and marketing. Looking forward immensely to VOX 2009 next month. It’ll be my first time to attend, so I’ll tell all in a future blog.

Found this beautiful inspirational poem in an email the other day.

CHEERFUL THOUGHTS
LIGHTEN DARKEST FEARS

Cheerful thoughts like sunbeams Lighten up the “darkest fears,” For when the heart is happy, There’s just no time for tears. And when the face is smiling, It’s impossible to frown, And when you are “high-spirited,” You cannot feel “low-down.” For the nature of our attitude Toward circumstantial things, Determines our acceptance Of the problems that life brings. And since fear and dread and worry Cannot help in any way, It’s much healthier and happier To be cheerful every day. And if you’ll only try it You will find, without a doubt, A cheerful attitude’s something No one should be without. For when the heart is cheerful, It cannot be filled with fear, And without fear, the way ahead, Seems more distinct and clear. Helen Steiner Rice (1900-1981) www.HelenSteinerRice.com

 

I really sincerely hope this brighens your day as much as it did mine. Keep the faith, it’ll all be right in the end! Don’t let any gloomy media stories bring you down! We are all winners!

 

Cheers… Stefania
