What excites you about the The Possible Futures Film Contest? What's the most provocative aspect for you?

What I love about this contest is it gives us all the opportunity to focus on the exciting possibilities and solutions that could or do exist, it's this sort of inspirational solution-orientation that is transforming our world. Specifically for me it's the gift, the first of many opportunities to share JOY WITH THE WORLD and that makes me want to say my favorite word... again and and again YAY! YAY! YAY!

Where do you find inspiration? What (or who) gives you hope?

People who focus on solutions, people who care and go beyond self interests, they really live up to being humanKIND and they inspire me.

How have stories shaped your life? What story does the world need to tell to shape a just and sustainable life?

For years I was attached to stories that had no power, now I choose to live and share the stories that uplift and inspire, I love the stories that create joy in me and others. If the world was sharing the possibility and joyful stories regularly, we would find ourselves easily in peace-loving and solution orientated states and here the miracles can flow. YAY is theme of my new story and there are so many out there that inspire this theme. YAY for the WORLD and YAY to all of you!
