In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

Well this week has been surprising to say the least.  I have to apologize for my absence last week but we had a TON of planning for our Kickstarter launch.  It's funny though because it's only been a week and I really do feel like I'm falling down a rabbit hole of craziness!  

It's brilliant!  In a week we've passed $9,000 which is almost 20% of our goal.  Idk if you've ever run a Crowdfunding campaign but it is a lot of work!  It's exciting, scary and somewhat fun but every day is a new adventure.  A lot of people are very supportive but a lot of people just stop talking to you.

I can't let it bother me though because this is what I have to do.  I have to make films.  Hollywood is a hard world to break into unless you have perseverance and determination.  And even then you have to come up with crazy projects and jump through a million hoops to keep them and make them happen.

So I'm jumping through the hoops and getting a film made.  If I haven't said enough, thank you for your continued support.  I know a lot of you are watching this campaign to see what happens.  I hope and pray that you'll support me in my endeavors like you always have.  This world is a crazy one and I'm past the point of getting out.  The truth is, I don't want out.  I belong in front of the camera.  So thank you for helping me make it happen!  In case you haven't looked into the campaign, the link is beachwooddrivefilm.com  You know the drill by now, click it and support with your pledge.  And bless you for having faith in me and my career :)

Love and blessings to you,
Kimberly Westbrook

It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards.

I honestly have no idea how this quote has eluded me for so long but I love it!  On top of that it seems to fit right into my theme lately of being imaginative, breaking out of the norm and trying new things!

I love this quote so much because it really can be looked at from two very different, very valid points of view.  On the one hand, it speaks to never learning from our past.  The mistakes that we make in the past should always influence our future unless we want to make them again!

The way I want to look at this however, is for its call to change your future from what your past is holding you to!  Our memory works backwards because we can't make memories from something we have yet to experience.  But our memories are there to guide us into a brighter future, aren't they?  You can't change the past by dwelling on it.  You can't change the good or the bad things that have happened so why do it?

Because if our memories worked forwards for us instead of backwards...then they can't hold us back from what's to come!  Too many times we let opportunities pass us by because of our memories.  We don't take that grand adventure or go down that uncharted path because of the memories from the last time we tried.  But each new adventure is different.  And if we're smart, we learn from it and embrace the memories for what they are, products of that past.  They're not there to keep us from moving forward to a better tomorrow!  They're there to remind us of the lessons we already learned and guide us to be successful the next time!

I love this book the more I blog from it.  It inspires me to be so much more imaginative and adventurous than I ever could have imagined possible.  I'm finally thinking outside the box and looking forward to an exciting future.  I hope you've enjoyed it so far and I look forward to bringing you more entertainment!

...so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

Some of my favorite blog entries are the ones I don't even know I'm going to write until I find a new Alice quote.  And this one once again jumped off the page!

Can you imagine the things that we could achieve if we had no doubt?  If we gave no mind to anything being impossible, what could we truly do?  I love the way my mind is changing.  I can't tell you how thrilling it is to instead of facing new decisions with why something won't work, instead thinking how we can make it work!  

I am on such a high from this weekend.  I got to experience another amazing message at Mosaic and spend time with some amazing women for brunch!  God is doing so much and changing so much in my life that I just can't keep it all in!  I want to share this newness in me with the world!  Everything really is possible with God and if you're waiting around for Him to make things happen, look at your decisions and your life and see if you are not ignoring the signs and the paths He has placed for you to get there!

I'm telling you, last year I got tired of waiting.  I got tired of wishing something would change and waiting for someone to come along and make my dreams happen.  God made me a very capable, strong woman.  For some reason it has taken me until now to realize that.  He has given me everything I need to create the life I want, I just chose not to see it.  I implore you today, this wonderful Monday, to start making whatever you are waiting for happen now!  You were created with the ability to be great, amazing, unstoppable!  So why are you stopping yourself?  Why have I always stopped myself from doing everything I could ever imagine?  Because of the idea of the " impossible."  

Well, from now on, nothing is impossible.  So GO!  

Love and blessings, 
Kimberly
