" Hi, Bette. Could we have coffee sometime?"

As an adult, I met Bette after her Vegas show and had an overwhelming feeling of wanting to sit and talk to her over coffee about life, love, and traversing this world, about this adventure called adulthood. Bette has done it, triumphed over this life; she has made it through the ups and downs, the self-questioning of both her gregarious self and the quiet one, and now seems to be in a place where she gets to be accepted as herself, all of her possible selves. I need to talk to her about that journey. This blog is the beginning of my coffee chat, a space for me to talk to Bette and to possibly gain some insight. So, "Hi, Bette. These are my questions and ideas, things I'd like to discuss with you someday."

I want to be a workaholic. The problem however is that I don't like to begin working. Once I am in it and have a good start, I pillage forward and am happy to do so. But, getting started is such a chore. How does one find the impetus to do so? You have conquered every creative area to take on. From acting and singing to writing and cleaning the world, you have done it successfully. While I know bumps have occurred and it probably didnt feel positive all the time, obviously you have the gumption to work, constantly, continually, and with power. Where does that come from and how can I find my own? I want to want to scrub!
