I was recently asked to judge a talent contest. It made me stop and think about what it means to judge people and their abilities. The entertainment and arts business is so subjective. What one person thinks is fantastic may not be to someone else. There is a basic standard of professionalism and talent in all industries. There are some that fall below that standard and some that raise above it. What someone has to have is that illusive "it" factor. "It" is very hard to describe, you know it when you see it. So, always be true to yourself because you just might be the next "it" talent!

What is success? Is it being famous or wealthy? Success to me is being consistently happy in life. Happiness is derived with being satisfied with yourself and your life. What is success to you?

This is the last day for "A Back Pocket Full of Poems" ebook give away! It has been a great week and I appreciate all the responses! The first person and another random person to comment will receive a complimentary copy. Ready, set, and go...

The synapses of my brain are always firing at warp speed. I seem to think everything and nothing at once. Who? What? When? Where? Why? And most of all... If? Wouldn't it be nice to just live in the nano second. Who would have time to think?

The “Yes” of Life

Louisville, KY, August 6, 2013-What do all models, musicians, actors, writers, and artist of all genres have in common? The extreme highs and lows of the entertainment and arts industries. The manic behavior of the numerous and dreaded “no” and then that one simply and satisfying “yes”. It is what we do with those yeses that make it count.

Lets face it, life is not easy and then you throw in the hardest professions to break into on top of that. So why do it? Why chase the never ending rainbow? In Shannon Hunt’s “A Back Pocket Full of Poems” she express those reasons and the ups and downs of the
industry as well as life in general. Based on experiences of a professional model, actress, and writer a solitude was developed through poetry. Also being married to a professional musician (John Zehnder) who travels worldwide with Gary Lewis & the Playboys (Jerry Lewis’ son) is an added wealth of experiences.

The poetry eBook is divided into five chapters of Love, Life, Faith, After Life, and Humanity. The raw truth and honesty in these chapters are relatable in some form to every person. “A Back Pocket Full of Poems” is a true work of happiness, tears, and everything in between.

Shannon Hunt has been published in over 10 poetry anthologies within the U.S. and Europe. She has also been found on the big screen, TV shows, runways, and print & editorial work. Always remember, it is what you do with the yeses of life!

Available on Vook, Barnes & Noble Nook, Apple iBookstore, & Amazon Kindle.
