A Fire Burning Week 2

It's been a busy week with pre-production meetings for A Fire Burning, training, and getting organized for next week.

I am so grateful for the people that work with me and their dedication and enthusiasm. We have done some great brainstorming and have gotten clear with the essence of the film and what we want to achieve.

I think A Fire Burning is in some ways a response to comments I have gotten from my other 3 films. People want to help or make a difference but don't necessarily have the means or time to go to Africa and volunteer or money to donate. The underlying theme of A Fire Burning, is that to create positive change it begins with you and the person you are in the world. It is a simple as that. Taking a good hard look at our selves and the energy we put out. When someone leaves an encounter with us do they feel better than before or worse? Are you gossiping, complaining, and focusing on the negative? or are you optimistic, joyful, and full of gratitude?
The way we are in the world makes a massive difference and that is where true change begins.

Choosing myself as the main character for a Fire Burning is so that I walk my talk. I am constantly checking in with myself and the way I am being, and pretending the camera is rolling at all times. How can I be better? How can I make the world a better place?

My goal in life is the satisfaction in knowing that I did the absolute best I could with what I have been given and that by me being here on the planet I was able to make a positive impact.

So these are all reasons behind making A Fire Burning.

An amazing team of people have come together to share the passion behind this project and I am so grateful for them and their efforts.
I love working with people that get things done and do what they say they will do.
Next week we begin shooting.

I am having a coaching session with Kerry Spackman the author of the Winner's Bible on Monday, which feels like a dream come true and can't wait!
On Tuesday morning 9 February at 8:20am I have an interview on TV 3 Sunrise and will be talking about Soft Power Health and also launching the new film and my kayaking comeback.

So it will be a big week.

Thanks for following the progress of A Fire Burning. I have so much excitement and vision for this film, and know that the process of making it will be just as important as the finished film.
