@divepalmsprings - Travel and vacationing have mos

@divepalmsprings - Travel and vacationing have most certainly taken on new meaning, and the idea of jet-setting or being in large swarms of people no longer seems as viable as it used to. Alas, the new normal is something we’re all adapting to and making the first leap into an area a short drive away from Los Angeles, Ventura, and beyond is strangely unsettling, but once you’ve arrived, the worries just outside the hotel walls seem to dissipate.

So incredibly honored to find out I was awarded th

So incredibly honored to find out I was awarded the “Award of Excellence in Scriptwriting” by @veniceshorts for “Spiraling”!! I was thrilled to be an official selection but this is extra phenomenal!

“Spiraling” is a #shortfilm and now #TVseries talking about difficult subjects, having genuinely tough conversations about things affecting us all every day including #suicide and #SocialJustice. The world is crying out to come together and I hope this story is one small step to getting us closer to a more transparent narrative. May it be instrumental in us talking to one another with far more compassion and kindness.

“What advice would you give? Lessons I’ve lear

“What advice would you give? Lessons I’ve learned: don’t be lazy, don’t be entitled, and never think you’re as good as you should be. Strive to be better every single day, take criticism, understand when someone’s feedback is opinion or actual feedback you should apply to your projects, and stop making excuses. If you’re a writer? Stop waiting for the world to be quiet or the environment to be ideal. There’s no such thing. Buck up and just write! And by god, learn how to spell correctly and be versed in grammar and punctuation! Best advice my agent/producer gave me? Don’t be good. Be GREAT!”

I’m so honored to share that I was interviewed by #ShoutoutLA, a new branch of @voyagelamag. Below is a look at a bit of my story, including shoutouts to my favorite spots in LA and people who have been instrumental in my journey (@c_reno , @leylakaderdahm, @yoga.with.joey , @frigidbardot , @adriennebrodeur ):

Today I found out that while “Spiraling” was chosen as an Official Selection at the Prague Film Festival, turns out ... IT WON!!!!!

This means 2 wins and 6 awards/honors for this project. What a wonderful thing!!

To read the winning list from over a dozen other nations:
https://praguefilmfest.com/winners/june-2020

And I’m writing three feature films as well, so fingers crossed I will have an incredible amount of work to sell and produce by the end of this bizarre year.

Today may you only feel and fuel LOVE. ❤️ Inde

Today may you only feel and fuel LOVE. ❤️ Independence only works when everyone is free to live without fear or hate.

This month, I really had to reshift my #editorial theme and focus. The new theme is “Reasons to Love”. Below is my Editors Note for July in #ATODMagazine:

“Life has become a cycle of moments and events that take us by surprise, both good and tragic. This month my focus is love. Loving the air we breathe—the smile on the face of the stranger—the laughter from our kids—the little wins—the welcomed chaos—the chance to really take in the purity and simplicity of a forced slowdown.

We are living in times that seem more bizarre than a fictional dystopia and the anxiety and hurt, damaging words and actions that have derived from the present time... it is demanding we regroup, find our voices, respond in love and kindness, and do everything we can to end the hate and usher in an era of oneness.

I know the road will be long and the battles won and lost will be fraught with rightful anger and long overdue justice, but while we're in the thick of it may you find some much needed togetherness. May you seek the beauty and truth humanity needs to thrive as one, and most importantly may your hearts and souls find solace in the fact that from here on out we will demand a far more unified species. Be well, wear your masks, and search for the creases on the corner of the eyes looking back at you that signify a smile returned.”

— xo, Dawn Garcia, Editor-in-Chief
