We Might Have To Sprint; You Should Probably Stretch

Welcome to Friday, everyone. 'Tis the first Friday of September and I'm kinda' shocked. We are right in the middle of 2012's third quarter. Good grief! Where did the time go, right? Yowzers.

So it's that time again for me. Time to report my year and accomplishments to date. For any new readers, in December of last year I set out to accomplish one new thing each month for the year 2012. I figured as opposed to looking at the year and all I hoped to do within a 12-month period, I would take smaller bites and look at each month instead. If successful, as of December 31, 2012 I'd have twelve new accomplishments that I could be proud of. Wanna see how I've been doing? And for the swillionth time, me sharing this list with you is about me being accountable – I hope you get that.

JANUARY

STEPPING ON A FEW TOES successfully completed another run by participating in Whitefire Theatre’s Solofest 2012.

FEBRUARY

I participated in another installment of URBAN LEGENDS, a poetry showcase held several times a year in Hollywood, CA.
I co-directed the short play THE BLACK HISTORY OF POLITICS written by Justin Key.

MARCH

I was a featured guest on the Rare Woman show, and the interview can be heard here: http://gvbradio.com/archives/rarewoman-031612.mp3

APRIL

I worked at this year’s Milk and Bookies (http://www.milkandbookies.org/), which is a celebrity charity event that focuses on literacy and giving books to children that don’t have access to books of their own.  It was a wildly fun event and I was part of a host of character actors brought in to entertain the kids in attendance.  The character I played?  The White Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland, and yes – Alice was there with me.  We had a blast.

In addition, I had the great fortune of being the guest on the Rare Woman radio show again last Friday.  Feel free to listen here:  http://gvbradio.com/archives/rarewoman-042712.mp3.

MAY

STEPPING ON A FEW TOES had a successful run of a show sponsored by the Rare Woman organization on May 12, 2012.

I was the guest speaker at A Celebration of Strong Women presented by The Dream Catcher’s Foundation on May 31, 2012.

JUNE

I worked as Associate Producer on CAN YOU SPARE SOME CHANGE, an indie short written and directed by Nicolle Whalen.  It’s a comedic film taking a look at how far one will go to secure funds for a film.  In addition it gives perspective on the homeless living in Los Angeles.  I had a small cameo in the film as well.

JULY

I have created my very first poetry CD.  The title is STILL STANDING and it’s a compilation of some of my most intimate pieces, really letting you into the life and mind of the person that is Jasmynne Shaye.  My poems are laid to original music by Jasonic Audio.  I’m calling it the soundtrack of my life.  Interested in owning your own copy?  Email Noelle Ryan for info:  soft_noelle@yahoo.com

AUGUST

I have been hired to be a regular contributor for the new online presence: YEAH I SAID IT MAGAZINE (http://yeahisaiditmagazine.com/).

Alright peeps, I will leave you with this... We're not quite there yet, but the year is definitely winding down but that's not a cue for you to throw in your towel and raise your arms in surrender. Nothing is over until it's over. “Getting there” and “getting close” aren't “over.” If there is even a second's worth of time left you still have an opportunity to 'do' and 'get done.' Just slap some sense into yourself and get your hind parts in gear! Come on, man! I can see the finish line ahead – let's run for it together! Are you with me?

My name is Jasmynne Shaye, and this is me STEPPING ON A FEW TOES.
