ABOUT

Actor Matthew Del Negro (Goliath, Scandal, The West Wing, The Sopranos) describes his career as being told "No" for a living.  Here, he gets up close and personal with top-shelf folks from all walks of life about the 10,000 "No"s they've had to endure and the struggles they've had to overcome on their journey to where they are today.  Inspiring, raw, honest, and funny, these conversations will help you see that the people you think have "got it made" put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you.

 
My AWESOME/courageous/resilient/beautiful/wise sister...⁣ ⁣ If you’re in a pickle (women especially), she may be able to help you (even if she DOES use way too many hashtags)... follow her at @school4joy ⁣ ⁣ #Repost @school4joy with @get_repost⁣⁣ ・・・⁣⁣ When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, I was not expecting it. I guess few women are. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ There were lots of decisions to make and my mind was still processing the idea that I had cancer at all. It was a lot to deal with and I really didn’t know what was best. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It felt like the clock was ticking and I had to decide quickly. I knew that I needed to calm my mind and give myself a chance to figure out what was best for me. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I used tapping to quiet my mind and and calm my body so that I could think more clearly. And I really looked for joy and gratitude. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ My diagnosis was “best case scenario”. The people around me were all willing to help. I had amazing medical care. Other women I knew who had been through it reached out to share their experiences. Flowers still bloomed. My children still hugged me. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I realized that life had thrown me an unexpected challenge but I had the strength, resilience and support to get through it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Are you going through a challenge right now? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Who can you lean on for support? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ People want to help you. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you feel alone, there are organizations for almost anything you are dealing with. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ And, find joy where you can. You are resilient, too. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I don’t know what you are facing, but I know that you can find the strength you need to handle it, one day at a time. ⠀⁣⁣ ⠀⁣⁣ #joy, #joyful, #gratitude, #choosejoy, #choosehappy, #school4joy #sparkjoy #changeyourlife #joyfulmovement #cultivatejoy #soulwork ⠀⁣⁣ ⠀⁣⁣ #cancerthriver, #breastcancerawarenessmonth, #breastcancer #thinkpink ⠀⁣⁣ #EFTTapping, #Tapping, #Tappingforjoy #tappingeft #tappingtuesdays⠀⁣⁣ #selfcare, #self, #selflove, #selfcarethreads #loveyourself⠀⁣⁣ #love #family #loveyourself #believe
Today was a proud day in the Del Negro/Surf timeline... Straps, baby!!!⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Surfboards no longer jammed into the car with the back window flapped open.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ About a month ago I got tired of being terrible. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Starting to put some systems into place and actually focus on improving.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (Slightly) less of my trademark “Del Negro Dump-off”, much to the chagrin of fellow surfclubbers and our offspring.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ (Slightly) more than my patented .25 sec long rides...⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Pretty soon... I’m gonna be thrashing like Kelly and Laird.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Mahalo ⁣ ⁣⁣ 🌊 🏄 ⁣⁣ #sundaymorningsurfclub ⁣⁣ #itsnotaboutthewaves
