it's the week of the santa barbara film festival and the other night i got a last minute call from a girlfriend to tickets to the dreamgirls movie. i jumped right on that one. we were sitting in the theater when we realized we weren't there to see a movie but to see director bill condon be honored for his films (chicago, kinsey, gods and monsters, dreamgirls, more) and accept the montecito award.
i usually won't be seen out on a monday night... beauty sleep takes top priority now. BUT as part of my goal to embrace the unexpected and be a little more spontaneous, i waited and waited (santa barbara being on island time most times) and there to honor bill was jennifer hudson, anika noni rose, and keith robinson. the energy just amazing in the room. everyone's eyes seemed to sparkle with realized dreams, even bill condon, who started out in the business as he says was most luck.
so while finally accepting island time, i thought about luck and realizing passions. if we didn't follow our passions, would luck exist? there to answer my own question.... I THINK luck can ONLY exist if we do things to follow our passions. time ceases to exist. opportunities come.
may we all continue to follow our bliss.
happy film going,
maria
chicago, kinsey, gods and monsters can be rented via Netflix.com
