Hi everyone! I posted this on my facebook page but I will post again here in an effort to keep up with the blog.
I hope you've all had an amazing summer! Life for me has been very busy. I now understanding why maternity leave is so important BUT being self employed I didnt get one so the past few months have been all about finding the balance. I'm grateful for my support system, my partner and family for making this work. That being said, I feel like an ass for not responding or writing in a long while. In an effort to maintain the flow, I've set up a twitter account. I'm podemskichick in case anyone would like to follow me.
Other than that I would like to thank you all for your comments. I DO read everything, sometimes more than once.
On the work front: i just wrapped Sarah Polley's new film Take This Waltz starring Michelle Williams, Seth Rogan and Sarah Silverman. I had so much fun and feel so blessed to have had the chance to work with such a talented team! I will keep you posted in regards to release date. I've also signed a book deal with Fifth House for my book Tales Behind the Loincloth. I will also keep you posted on that as we get closer to the release date.
I send each and every one of you beautiful thoughts and good vibes. Regardless of who you are, where you're from or what you do, we are ALL an essential piece of this big puzzle we call life. May your piece be filled with love, laughter and good health.
Peace and Love - see you on Twitter!
It’s been awhile!
