Rachel this is your soul speaking...can you hear me hon? I know that these times are kinda tough right now what with the financial uncertainty and all. I understand that it must be a "heady" experience to be filling in for an anchor on a national cable TV show and that it feels like your career is finally taking-off. But I just now saw you report in sequence on 1) the latest silly movie to set a record at the box office, followed by 2) a "little-person" celebrity sex tape, and 3) some dredged-up old drivel about a naked "booby" flashed on live TV several years ago.

Sweetheart you know I love you, right? I am here to remind you of that little spark inside of you that always wanted to make a difference in the world. Can you still feel it? Did you know that it is disappearing underneath the weight of justifications like, "I only need to do this for a little while, then I can get my OWN show and THEN be my real self." I am here to caution you that it almost never works that way...why? Because that time never comes...you only learn how to keep on silencing yourself as you chase that ever elusive carrot.

I can only point out the pitfalls to you, but it is up to you to make the right decisions. You know that celebrity sex tapes and "boobies" are not what the world needs more of right now. Good Luck...and I hope you don't forget about me.

Your one and only,
Soul.
