2013!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What does a new year mean for you? For me, 2013 means GROWTH!

I set goals at the beginning of the year and renew my goals throughout the year. For this year I'm focusing more on Voices In Color and developing Malu Presents. I had planned a show in LA in 2012 but instead I was able to produce a show in San Diego! In addition to the show I produced an online exhibit telling stories of survivors from domestic violence. It was graffic but poignant and amazing! My vision board still has VIC in LA so it WILL happen.

It's really easy to get caught in our daily work lives, our 9-5's. I've never considered myself an artist but we all have artistic abilities, something that speaks to us. For me it's theater and in particular helping tell the stories of women who don't feel their voice is being heard. We should all embrace this side of ourselves. This past year I've made some great connections and been encouraged by various artists in my environment. In particular the ladies that hosted my show in San Diego. They've helped me see the potential in my show and where it can go so hopefully I can produce a tour in the future!

It's only January, only 7 days into the year but there's no time like the present to begin working on our goals. I saw a picture online that was perfect for seting goals. It was an acronym for SMART: Specific Measurable Attainable Relevant Time-bound. I'll be reporting back on how everything is coming along. Thank you for growing with me. :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
