I know the title may lead you to say how can we forget Haiti. Everywhere we turn there are pictures there to remind us of what has happened. Over time though, thoughts do fade away. Even though you see it everyday you may stop for a brief moment to reflect and then move on.

I do feel extremely bad for the people involved in this tragedy. It is so tough to fathom the amount of hardship the country is enduring at this very moment. I sit here with all the comforts of my parents home and it can be hard to make that connection to what is really going on over there. I just hope that after the news is gone, Haiti continues to get the help they need. All to often we hear about it constantly then a few months later its like nothing happened. As the months go on just stop and reflect on a country literally in ruins. Your thoughts and prayers can often send out more help than you ever realize.

Here are some tremendous pictures from the Boston Globe.

This past Friday was the big shoot date. I went through all the proper channels to rent a gymnasium (SSYMCA Hanover,MA), rent production equipment (from High Output in Canton,MA such an easy going group of people) and also making sure to have a crew to video tape talent. It may not seem like much to do but it sure is quite a bit to do with a deadline. You may find a gymnasium and are not able to rent it due to management or something else that may come up. Without a location then well, you have nothing. There is no way you can do a video shoot without a place to do it, obviously.

Just sitting here now typing, I am so wiped. You put all this focus and energy toward doing many little tasks that once the day is over, you just let go.  I sat down for 10 minutes while I was waiting for a crew member and poof. Felt like I had been doing some solid 12 oz curls for a few hours. I actually do not drink alcoholic beverages because of my current spirituality work, my body is my temple type of deal. That is why feeling like that was just so unusual but yet so relaxing as well. I was able to let go and just absorb the monumental amount of energy the universe was sending my way.

All in all it was an amazing day and I can not wait to do it again. First things first though. Now that we have footage, we need to edit it and make some videos out of it. It will be interesting to see what comes out of our day and how we can bring it all together.

Stay tuned for some behind the scenes footage so you can see what the experience was like. Big day of studying, editing, and some other projects I have in my cart (don’t put the cart before the horse…terrible). I am ending on that unfortunately, more to come soon.

I apologize for falling behind on this blog. There has a been a lot going on this week, just one of those things. This week has been pretty hectic just due to the fact that there is a video shoot on Friday at the Hanover YMCA. I have been doing many errands, finalizing the ideas for the projects and making sure that all the equipment is there for us to have a terrific day.

It may be hectic but I enjoy doing these videos and I want to be able to do more of them on a bigger scale. The only way you get to do that is by doing one to start. I may be nervous, anxious and rearing to go to put this show on the road. Many things have to be put in place before that camera rolls. My time is up, I am planning on doing a little behind the scenes camera work so be on the look out for that also.
