Senior Editor’s Note July 2010 It was a warm afternoon in early June as I was sitting in a local art gallery admiring a clients beautiful sculptures when a thought came to mind; that’s it, that’s our July issue of Hollywood Weekly. Let’s spotlight remarkable people: their art, their stories and their dreams! The compilation of the July issue of Hollywood Weekly has been carefully thought through with a focus on exposing those who dare to dream, unselfishly create and live inspirational lives. Each story written in turn tells a story of personal journeys and their life initiatives. As Senior Editor I’m given the opportunity to share true stories behind the scenes of multiple industries related to entertainment. In this month’s issue, while keeping in mind the philosophy of our magazine, No Gossip ~ Strictly Entertainment, we have brought in various people of all sorts living extraordinary lives and who do so against all odds. In addition to my role as senior editor at Hollywood Weekly I am founder of INSPYRS, a company based on showcasing the humanitarian efforts of talented artists and innovators with a primary focus on “inspyring” others to build their dream and then let their dream build them. And that’s exactly the types of stories we are sharing in this issue. Who are these people? How are they connected to the entertainment industry? Or are they merely change agents living in the now and influencing positive change in Hollywood and beyond! Read on and see for yourself. I hope you enjoy this issue and that you find fulfillment in these incredible stories. peace & inspyration, Pamela
