Dear....... someone

Today I wrote a letter to Emma Thompson. It may seem stupid and juvenile, but it was brilliantly therapeutic.

I got the idea a few weeks ago from my roommate. We had been talking about a book she was reading where the author suggested we write letters to our favorite artists. The idea is that you are putting the positive appreciative energy into the universe. My first thought was that it was ridiculous, given there is no way they will ever read it (says my logical brain.)

This is where my brain suddenly skipped to the part in "Love Actually" (Of course it's a movie with Emma Thompson in it) where Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister, is reading through a selection of christmas letters and finds the one from Natalie and she says she is "actually yours"- his, and it's beautiful, and he realizes he loves her and needs to find her right away!! - Okay, I realize it is a movie, but my point is that you NEVER KNOW if it just might reach that person, and maybe it is exactly what they need to hear. The Universe is a Miraculous Force. Plus, it is positive energy, and that is always helpful.

More than this, I felt so good putting all of my thoughts in order as to why I love Emma Thompson so much, and why she is so inspiring, and I felt inspired all over again!! I want to thank these artists that help me to feel this way. THANK YOU EMMA THOMPSON! THANK YOU!!! I know how much sacrifice it takes to be a small time actor in Canada, I can only imagine what she has given up to get to where she is, not to mention what she has to put herself through every time she plays a juicy role. So I think it is time that I say thank you to those people whom I appreciate so much.

I sent the letter through an e-mail to one of her agents' publicity sector. I hope somehow it finds its' way to Ms. Thompson.

In the meantime, THANK YOU to all of the other beautiful artists in my life who are so brave and let me into their worlds and their minds everyday so that I can become a more full and balanced artist and human being!!! Let's all thank our artists friends for helping our world to be beautiful and to change, and to grow as it should.

To show how appreciative I am, I am going to leave you with a clip from one of my favorite movies of all time: "Sense and Sensibility", screenplay and lead role by Emma Thompson. My second favorite clip (the first being the scene near the beginning in the stable where Edward tries to tell Elinor about being engaged and she has no idea what he is going on about) this one is the proposal right near the end. Lovely. I hope you all enjoy!
