Inspiring aspirations

RE: “Comfort Can Wait, but the Dream Can’t” [Jan. 1].

I work with creative and talented people every day who are trying to live their lives in an authentic way. Often it takes tremendous stamina to stay true to one’s own course. Unfortunately, creative people are often offered the “realistic” perspective that can dampen spirits and drive.

The great thing is that L.A. is so richly inhabited with creative people of all types. I hope you will write more stories that highlight how people persist in their dedication to express themselves and their vision. Articles like these offer hope to many and the opportunity to see that they aren’t alone in their struggle, or success.
