All my life, I admired stories learned from TV as a child. Fascinated by old movies, actors & actresses. One of my many old time fave is "Its A Wonderful Life" especially brought to Earth at that SPECIFIC period in Time, to continue Hope for Humans to help them remain here on the Earth plane; depicting how they WILL make it through this seeming chaos. This is the power of Film. I joined Stage32 just a short month ago, near my birthday. I'm now seeing this as a grand gift to myself this birthday year.... finding this amazing & deeply interesting Stage - STAGE32... especially at this Stage of my Life of 60's which I call "The Wonder Years"). Within a week of joining, and sharing my goals, one has stepped forward to offer the process of bringing my autobio book SUCCESS AFTER INSANITY to the big screen. ***Looking forward to venturing into this long process. I have begun revising my book since it was published in year 2000. I realized that though all stories of my life are true and will remain written within the pages of those covers, there were some that needed updating for far more accuracy that I was not aware of, at that time. ***A few of those changes are: how "doctors, mental health professionals" diagnosed my condition with MULTIPLE names incorrectly for over 25 years... including Schizophrenia being the VERY FIRST WRONG DIAGNOSIS in 1981. Changes also include more Truth needed to be revealed that is not always a welcomed subject. ***What will be shared in both book & movie, is a subject that the traditional Healthcare & Mental Healthcare for the most part, does not want to acknowledge for many reasons. But we will no longer accept monetary or fear as excuses, since it's harming (& killing) many across the globe. Read Medication Madness by Dr. PETER Breggin (name correction!)... for a deeper look. https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780312565503/medicationmadness Yet it's Time. The movie of my life will throw a heavy shadow on the decades past and back a century ago of how we need to stop turning our heads away from concrete answers to many mental and physical health concerns. ***Giving a glimpse, of where I'm at currently is releasing the 1st of my 21 Chakra Games made of 1/2" real wood (& real crystals) on a very low budget but much high quality! ***My Spirit Guides (yes! that we ALL DO have) are bringing it full circle now. This is good. I'm getting tired from so much creativity! LOL... though quite obvious the Entertainment world ~ would become an avenue I'd explore one day... no doubt. Lots of needed playful Regal Leo planets in the 5th House of Fun & Creativity! And thank the Goddess for my strong grounding planets in persevering, humble, respectful sign Capricorn at the top helm of my birth chart to help anchor & stay the course; bringing the vision into physical manifestation. ***Thank you for letting me ramble as I've been offline last few weeks... illness crept in but feeling better each day! Truly missed checking in. ***LOVE reading everyone's heart stories of what's being learned here & where all are moving towards!! KEEP envisioning them. I believe in You! ***My quotes for today.

I've been meaning to watch more classics, Sherri ZImmerman. I've seen some of "It's A Wonderful Life" a long time ago, but I want to finish watching it.

I love film history, and in fact am working on a time-travel comedy that's sort of "Back to the Future" meets "Singin' in the Rain."

Here's the logline on what I've tentatively titled "Screen Time":
"A sitcom showrunner and the flighty lead actress he regularly quarrels with unknowingly enter a portal at their Hollywood studio in 2019 and are transported to 1929, as it prepares to make its first talkie."
It's a tale that lends itself to plenty of topics - race relations (they meet a black actor confined to stereotyped Stepin Fetchit parts), gender roles (the showrunner falls in love with a chorus girl, impregnates her, and fears his 21st century DNA could harm her or their baby) and more. While the studio and all 1929 personnel are fictional, references are made to Hollywood figures of the time such as Colleen Moore, Carole Lombard or Marion Davies. It's plenty of fun to conjure up the movie capital at this crucial time in its history.
