Governor Jerry Brown and Assemblyman Cameron Smyth: Heart to Hart
It was great to see Democrats and Republicans come together to hear the heartfelt concerns from community leaders, parents, teachers, and students at Hart High.
Mayor Marsha McLean and the entire City Council came to stand with the community and Wm. S. Hart School District to say "No More Cuts to Education."
I was encouraged to see the same concern expressed from Jerry Brown (D) and Cameron Smyth (R). They took the time to listen and discuss ideas TOGETHER working toward practical application, not as Republicans or Democrats, just as people who care. If only all of our elected officials would take note. It was a monumental day worth noting and appreciating.
MEA is all "tied" up
About 60 COC staff members toured the new Media Entertainment Arts Department and were not only impressed by the state-of-the-art facility but also noted the suit and ties worn by the department instructors. I also wanted to document this rarity "tied" to the overall upgrade of the department.

Where Is
Where.
Location. Location. Location. "Where" is it happening. In storytelling we establish the setting, it could be the main point of the story. Eight inches of snow in Alaska is not a big story, but it is in Santa Clarita.
This morning the first headline I read was Katie Couric leaving her anchor post where she "solely manned the helm" of the CBS Evening News for five years. It becomes apparent that "where" is making headlines, even for those who have "arrived"...and in her case, not only arrived but "reached the top."
"Where is.... we all want to fill in the blank.
I remember Nemo. He faced many challenges from every direction since the day he was born...and he just wanted to get to "where" his Dad was, where he knew he belonged. I can only chuckle as I'm reminded of that famous Star(fish) in the story who said, "Find a happy place, find a happy place, FIND A HAPPY PLACE."
"This is a page from my journal, the Journey in Journalism" (hahaha - had to do it;)

Who Is
Who.
"Who" is one of the most important parts of storytelling. "Who" is the story about. And "Who" is the story intended to reach.
Art and Journalism: Let me capture the essence of the person and paint a picture in the freshness of the moment. A picture in words. A picture in a photo. Which, documents 'who' the person is, yes, but ultimately validates the soul 'who' is trying to communicate their story.
...and finally 'who' is going to listen.
