It is my goal for everyone to have a positive experience with Her Universe and we can't help you if we don't know your problem.
After a relaxing break it's time to face the New Year head on. We all have challenges ahead that will require a lot of hard work and determination to overcome. Whether it's school, finding a job, keeping a job, dealing with bullies, difficult co-workers, a frustrating boss or what seems to be a very difficult or impossible situation, everyone has their own journey and story. I wanted to share with you something that always pumps me up and gives me the strength to keep going. I love the song “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World. For me, it's so inspirational and it gives me that extra edge to forge ahead and believe
in myself. When I first moved to LA for acting, I used to go on hundreds of auditions and I had to get used to A LOT of rejection! I was constantly told I was not pretty enough, I was too short, I didn't look the part, I didn't have enough talent, every piece of criticism you could imagine came my way. When Jimmy Eat World came out with this song, I used to turn up the volume really loud and completely rock out to the music. (Yes, I am a dork and I am sure you are laughing at the thought of me jamming out in my room by myself to this song, and, no, I am not a good dancer…lol) Giving up was never an option for me, and this song always encouraged me to keep going and build my acting career. A couple days ago, I was driving in the car and this song came on the radio. It was the message I needed as we start a New Year. Her Universe is still a young company and we still have A LOT to do and prove. It's been a long journey to get to this point and I feel like we are only in the middle of the ride. This song is definitely my anthem for 2012! Here is a video from You Tube with the lyrics.
May this New Year bring you all many blessings and thank you again for your continued support and friendship.
All my best,
Ashley 😮
