whats your favorite memory from set?
Too many to choose just one, but currently… the last scene I shot with Elise in SEASON THREE!!! - N.
What was your most memorable moment when working on Carmilla?
When Spencer called “cut” for the final time and we all huddled together as it came to an end. I really can’t describe the feeling. So overwhelming and beautiful. Bittersweet.
Because…I Love “Carmilla” and will miss this talented group!
A small mollusk called blue dragon, sea swallow, blue angel, blue glaucus, blue sea slug or blue ocean slug (Glaucus atlanticus). Blue dragons are a species of small, blue sea slug, a pelagic aeolid nudibranch, a shell-less gastropod mollusk in the family Glaucidae. Picking them up can result in a painful sting, with symptoms similar to those caused by the Portuguese man o’ war. Photo of hand showing nudibranch size is by vlastní obrázek.

It's amazing how much of our behavior is driven by the need to seek some sort of approval or confirmation from others. It seems much tougher to be just content with one's self without needing attention and seeking adulation from our peers. Why is that and how do you deal with those impulses?
lazyyogi answered:
I think it derives from a few places:
- A sense of self that is wholly or partially externally located.
- A misplaced idea of where happiness is found and of what it is comprised.
- An insecurity that is attempting to secure itself.
There is nothing wrong with receiving praise and being grateful for the kind words of others. However if you find yourself seeking those things, it is a good idea to ask yourself why.
If your sense of self, meaning your sense of wholeness and normality, depends on receiving the approval of others, then you will always be seeking that approval. It will become your default state, in which you must have everyone’s approval before allowing yourself to feel normal.
This is tiring. It is unnecessary. And also it is impossible! Someone, somewhere, will always find a reason to disapprove. If you live your life in such a way as to avoid disapproval, you will find yourself shrinking into a prison of your own making. You will hold yourself back, chain yourself down, and mute your voice.
If your idea of happiness is the praise of others, you have forgotten the meaning of happiness. Happiness is an inner experience. Often this inner experience is triggered by external things, such as icecream, sex, or praise. But those things are not the happiness itself. To find the happiness itself, you must trace the inner feeling of happiness to its source. That is the purpose of the spiritual path.
Lastly, an insecurity that is seeking to secure itself will often look to others for security. Here is a single important piece of wisdom to live by: Insecurity is never satisfied by security. Security does not free you from insecurity, it makes you dependent. It is like trimming the leaves of a weed but not pulling up its roots. It will keep growing back.
To be free from insecurity, you must uproot it. That can be an uncomfortable process in which you take a long look at the things within you that you would rather avoid. I often recommend the book The Places That Scare You by Pema Chodron as an excellent place to begin such inner work.
You deal with these impulses by becoming mindful of them. Notice them when they happen. Notice whether they actually lead to any lasting satisfaction or happiness. Notice if they lead to restricted peace and freedom. Learn to feel these impulses without expressing them, letting them move through you unhindered by rejection or clinging.
Daily meditation works wonders when it comes to uprooting the weeds of our confusion, fear, and insecurity. When you can sit alone in silence and be content, lacking nothing, then you will find wonderful freedom in daily life.
The book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle is also one of my favorite spiritual treatises. It is not meant to be read once. It is meant to be read and reread and practiced as often as needed until it sinks in and you rediscover your naturalness.
Namaste brother :)
