A Class Act - J2 Spotlight. The day of the shut down, I was supposed to see their opening night performance. I was so proud of this cast and so excited to see the final production. It broke my heart that they didn’t get to go on. I look forward to seeing them when they re-open, though. I believe this WILL happen and I wonder how the experience of all of their journeys will deepen the color of their performances. I can’t wait! (more photos below) #proud2bewojickseay #castingby
Hi Friends!
We are close to reaching the year mark of the dreaded shut down of our industry and I guess I’m feeling reflective. When I walked out of the Wojcik/Seay office on March 12th, having spent the morning cancelling an audition session planned for the following day, I remember saying goodbye to Scott, “See you in a couple of weeks?” It came out like a question, because there was a strange, uncertain energy in the air. But, in that moment, though I was feeling an indescribable sadness, I did believe I’d be back in a couple of weeks. I think, we all did.
Looking back now to that day in March, when I see it in my mind, it feels like that was a different person - not me at all.
So, I’m wondering, if you could go back in time and talk to your pre-Covid Era self, what would you say? Are there things on your personal journey you would have done differently? And if so, why?
I have been inspired by all of you from afar - following your journeys via social media. Seeing how you have adapted, changed and grown over this year has helped me to keep going! During this time, I’ve observed new businesses and temporary careers launch, major cross country moves made with enthusiasm instead of fear, babies being born and new and exciting ways of sharing creativity emerging! It’s incredible and impressive. I’ve also experienced, first hand, care and understanding from you in times when I needed it most. I’ve witnessed brave and loud voices rise up in protests of injustice and support of a better world. You all deserve praise. Despite the distance, it’s been an unbelievably revealing and uplifting experience, because of you.
So take a moment to appreciate all that you have accomplished in this time. Sit with this for a bit, because it is astonishing.
Reminder: You inspire!
Message: Appreciate your journey!
Happy Monday! - Holly
PS. One thing I’ve always wanted to do was find a more meaningful way to impact the lives of creatives and I have been working toward my certification in Life/Career Coaching! I feel deeply proud of this journey and I can’t wait to share it all with you.
