We may resist times of trial and tribulation, but it is in those moments that our character is most developed.  Our discovery is not simply limited to the nature of our being; it includes a demonstration of our true strength.  We are reminded that we are the true hero and protagonist of our story.

Take some time today to reflect on your life to date. Look at how much you have been through (and you are still here!). Rather than painting a picture of regret and victimization, celebrate your victories. Tell the story as truth--you are the hero that has triumphed over great adversities.  Now, examine the qualities that enabled you to move beyond the obstacles. It is these characteristics that define the hero: you! You will begin to notice that the challenges that you face today are no greater than those that you faced in the past.  You simply need to use the same strength of character to overcome your current challenges.

Success or sabotage? In order to be successful, you must remember that you have already made great accomplishments. How can you appreciate success if it remains unacknowledged?

I have a new show opening at Boxpark gallery next Thursday 2nd October. Here's what the press release says:

Mark Ward is well known for work that reflects his fascination with America.

In this new series of work entitled 'Hell Yes', Mark explores the idea of belief and obsession around the iconography from American pop culture that has influenced him since his youth. The images here represent a land of eternal sunshine and include elements of mythology, folklore and legend to create characters reminiscent of sacred figures. From Basketball to Burgers, Hot Rods to Flamingos, it's all here to be worshipped. Step into the light… 

A little look at what's on offer to quench your thirst while feasting your eyes on my upcoming show 'Made You Look' at Jaguar Shoes this Thursday 12th Sept. Jaguar Shoes and I give you 'The Flossin Flamingo'... Served from 7pm

PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS TRUE.

Wow - is this year going to be the second coming of Tara Reid?!

We guess truly anything is possible!

It's already been announced that the actress has signed on for the upcoming sequel to American Pie, American Reunion, and now, it appears that she has been cast in the sequel to Piranha 3D, Piranha 3DD - along with Glee's Mark Salling and Camelot's Tamsin Egerton

No word on when production begins in Baton Rouge, but seeing as it has a September 16th release date, we imagine they'll be shipping down any day now!

Amazing! We LOVED the campy HIGHlarity of the first one, so hopefully this one won't disappoint!

Fingers crossed!
