…The earth to be spann’d, connected by network, The races, neighbors, to marry and be given in marriage, The oceans to be cross’d, the distant brought near, The lands to be welded together. ~from Passage to India, by Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
And so we span the earth, connecting by network. Welding and melding, seeking similarities, proclaiming differences. As true in the 1800s as it is today.
I’m glad to connect to You, among the stew.
And if you’re in Atlanta, Georgia, I’ll be coming your way in 2 weeks!
Saturday, September 18th, at 2:00,
I’ve been asked to give a workshop at PushPush Theater:
Believe it Into Being: Manifesting the career of your dreams using the free tools of the Internet, time and your own creativity.
Learn about Amy’s personal journey from obscurity to global connectivity.
Hear what worked, what the challenges were, and get 21st Century tips
for how to galvanize your own career. Understand your own possibilities with increased clarity, utilizing the transparency of Amy’s journey, an in-depth Q & A, and take-away worksheet to help forge your own path.
Our newest Liaison for England, Beth Archer, sent us this amazing video! It’s a hilarious tour of the Project through an array of accents, inspired by our intro video, “Connected in 24 Accents”.
Thanks, Beth! You ROCK!
If you want to make your own video, or help spread the word in a way that fuels your soulfire, we’d Love to work with you!
Connecting Up in San Francisco, the "City by the Bay"
Hello All!
Oh, what a trip! I just got back from San Francisco not too long ago and I miss it already. I must say that I have experienced wonderful things during my stay with Sharon and Istvan! From the delayed two-day travel by plane into the city, until the night I left… I was able to connect with so many intriguing and inspiring people! Coffee connoisseurs, bookstore owners, doughnut makers, florists, and a plethora of eclectic artists … San Francisco is indeed a city full of kindred spirits.
I finally had the opportunity to physically work with some of the team members and meet and work with our lovely Amy. It has been a memorable trip and San Francisco natives are warm and welcoming individuals that know what connecting is all about. Café Gratitude was so generous to partner with us and do the event …thanks Audrey and Tony for connecting us to your city! The event was a definite success and we plan to stay in touch and work with Café Gratitude in the future. :-) Check them out! www.cafegratitude.com.
Thank you, dear Sharon, Istvan, Maggie, Marci, and lovely Amy. I am truly grateful to connect with you all personally during my stay. My trip’s experiences are proof that we have the power to unite people through our project…and I plan to continue doing so!
Hello! San Francisco Bay Area Liaison Sharon Beck here. Istvan and I have had a wonderful time hosting Dia, Tom and Amy Walker, plus our Travel & Translations Liaison, Jasmine Singh this past weekend. And we all had such a wonderful time with the folks at Cafe Gratitude in San Francisco.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. Jasmine arrived last Wednesday and we went straight to Cafe Gratitude to talk to them about hosting a dramatic reading of the script by Amy. As we waited for the manager to come speak to us, we had an opportunity to talk to some of the people eating at this unique “Vegan” restaurant. They were wonderfully friendly people to Connect with.
So Saturday morning, a group of Bay Area volunteers, myself, my husband Istvan Sonkoly, Jasmine, Maggie Schrieber and Marci Laughlin accompanied Amy to help launch Jasmine’s idea of a “ConnectUp” at this great cafe.
But instead of telling you about it, click on the arrow below and let me show you.
Come Connect-Up with AMY, SHARON, & JASMINE in San Francisco at…

This Saturday, July 17th at 2pm!!!
Amy, along with Core Team members Jasmine Singh and Sharon Beck, will be hosting an event in the lovely city of San Francisco, where Amy will do a dramatic reading of excerpts from the Connected script @ 2pm, followed by a” meet & greet” and open discussion on how you like to stay connected!
This is Kara-Anne, Core Member for Public Relations and Marketing, working on tons of stuff to get more awareness of the ConnectedFilm project!
It’s been a lot of fun creating letterhead and logos with the help of Amy and Lisa (Core Member for Research and Development) from afar, via file sharing and Skype. Of course, it’s always easier to brainstorm and sketch and work together when in person, but uniting people in Philadelphia, Boston, and Seattle can be a challenge! So, we stay connected to each other thanks to the wonderful worldwide web.
With the letterhead and logos developed, our next step is to create a marketing plan, with a press release, Connect-Up events, book club meet and greets, and other marketing efforts.
Do you have a book club or other network/group of people that may be interested in a Skype discussion with Amy Walker and a live reading of a script selection? Email me today and we’ll get started! PR@ConnectedFilm.Com
Amy will be in California for the Connect-Upevent on July 17th, 2010!

At times, we have the tendency to get caught up in our daily schedules and forget about certain significant factors of life – like having “personal” time, or creating new memories with family and friends. So, what do we do when we fail to stay in contact with the people we care for the most? Why is it important to stay connected?
I recently went to the lovely city of Chicago for a theatre show production. During my visit, I had the amazing opportunity to introduce some inspiring Chicago natives to the ConnectedFilm community and ask them what it means to be connected.
Check out the video as I connect you to Chicago, and ask yourself…How do I stay Connected?
