My agent represents a lot of little people. One just happened to walk in the door when I was there. I think this pic made my agents day!
Okay, it might have been the highlight of my day too.
I find myself in strange situations in LA. It is so cliche. Sleeping on kick boxing pads until we move to a new place. Stuff like that. But I am still a happy camper. I am starting from scratch, literally. And I am not nervous about it at all. I feel like I am on the right path. Exploring myself and choosing my direction as life comes at me.
I will get settled. I will have a place of my own soon enough. Ahhh, I can not wait! I can not wait to be established. And I will do it. It is a matter of time and determination.
I want it so bad, I will Never EVER Give UP!!
I had just gotten done with a meeting in Santa Monica. I took myself down to Main Street. I found a hopping burger joint. I took a seat at the bar as the New York Yankees and the Los Angeles Angles were tied up in the 8th inning. The burger and fries were fabulous. Just as I was finishing up, a gentleman approached the seat next to me. He said, “No way! I saw a documentary about you on TV. He was from Finland where the documentary Strongest Ever had been played. It is a story about my life and lifting.
This man was wonderful. Him and his friend sat and talked for an hour. They were so encouraging. I told them my plan to get into TV/Film. They were so excited, saying people need inspiration. And they spoke of the origin of the word inspiration, to breath life into. All sorts of encouragement to be myself and offer my uniqueness in my auditions.
It was just what I needed. A reminder that I came here in hopes to share my physique with the world. I love the skin I am in; I love my big body. I want to shout it to the world!!
I am taking off the RSS Feed. I’ll be honest. I want you to check in with me. So, I am not going to make it easy on you to get my updates. You will actually have to come to www.beccaswanson.com every day! Thanks for keeping up with me!!
I love it here! LA treats me well. I got signed by a commercial agent today. This is big, Big, BIG!!
While I was in the agency, the owner took a picture of me while I held Gabriel, a little person, over my head with one arm. It was a great picture and she was super, super excited.
I AM EXCITED! Feels like I am launching into a new life. Hang on… let’s go for this ride!
Boy, I have a few irons in the fire. I love it! Getting some marketing and product together for a website. Getting ready for a meeting with an agent tomorrow. Working out. Eating right. Cardio. You know, the usual.
I am starting to deal with legal issues regarding the business I closed. Not fun stuff, but hopefully in my past soon. Then I will never have to look back.
Yesterday, I did some crazy cool stuff on the hack squat with my friends Mike O’Hearn and Sherlyn Roy. Finally, a great workout with some crazy lifting buddies. I am a bit sore. When lifting heavy you also tap the nervous system, I think that is why my brain is zapped; I’m spent! I didn’t manage to get any pictures snapped, my bad. I will get my self together soon!
OMG! Last week I went to Venice Gold’s for a crazy front squat workout with Mike O’Hearn, Titan the Gladiator. Tomorrow we are going back for MORE!! Can not wait! Mike is crazy, crazy big and strong!!
It seems sick and wrong to squat close stance with your heels on 5 lb plates. All the pressure on your knees; putting your knees in the perfect position for TORTURE! We will grab some footage and post a few pics.
After close stance squats, Mike promised to do Good Mornings with me. Killer hamstrings. No one ever does them, cause the are HARD!!
Gosh, this is crazy. I am going through it! There are the twinges of “Oh, shit. I have nothing and I need to build something.” I question my direction at moments.
But over all… OVER ALL, I AM FANTASTIC!! I had a great day!
I had a kick ass workout with a good friend, Mike O’Hearn, at Venice Golds. I got the swell on!
Then, I headed over to LuLu Lemon Athletica. I LOVE IT THERE!! They sponsored me athletic clothes for my E! True Hollywood. I have a television interview next week, so I stopped in to see if they would doll me up with a cute athletic outfit. They have such great customer service!
Earlier, I was looking for a coffee shop with free wifi. Just happened by a place and ask a guy outside, “Do they have free internet?” And we spent the next two hours talking business, publishing books and website techniques. It was GREAT! I walked away from the conversation thinking, my energy brought me that meeting. My energy is ON today!
I feel like I just hopped on a merry-g0-round and I have not gained my balance yet. It is okay, kinda scary for a bit, but the adrenaline rush is second to none!
