I'd Like To Thank The Academy. . .

I was thinking about what I would say if I gave an acceptance speech for an award (kind of a fun flight of fancy to take) and here's what I came up with. What would yours say???

I would like to thank the Academy for this award: It represents hard work, and the hopes, dreams, love and encouragement of a great many people who have held me up along the way.

I've long said I'm not a human being, I'm a human becoming. There is an old Spanish proverb that says: In our lives, we have two or three opportunities to be a hero, but almost every day, we have the opportunity not to be a coward.

This life is a hero's journey. Anyone who sticks it out and gives it their best shot is heroic, in my estimation. What we call normal is so often extraordinary. Just overcoming the weight of the world, and making a genuine effort to identify and honor our true-path is profound. Kudos to anyone who is making a genuine effort to get through this life with originality,awareness and authenticity. ~Jeff Brown
