I’ve been thinking a lot about intentions because I believe that they are über important. By definition, intentions are the aim that guides action, or the objective behind an action. When I started digging at my intentions for writing Burlesque Palace, this is what I found:
- To entertain while supporting my family with my writing. To be recognized for my writing
- To create a sultry, erotic show targeted to women and their lovers - to invite more women to access their sexuality and become empowered by it
- To highlight New Orleans so that others can fall in love with it as I have, and to steep the series with the intense life and character that I experienced with the locals
- To rejuvenate the history of burlesque and to connect it to neo-burlesque,
- To aid the burlesque community by offering alternative income-earning platforms on the series such as cameo performances, costume design, etc.
- To allow the karmic wheel to come full circle. One of the major reasons burlesque died was because of television. To introduce burlesque to a wider audience using television would be a full circle moment.
Intentions are also important when it comes to relationships. It used to be the standard question that a father would ask when a young man came courting, “What are your intentions for my daughter?” It makes me wonder what my intentions were with Ex-man. This still seem a bit hazy to me. What would happen if I had clearer intentions in my next relationship?
What are your intentions for your next relationship? Do you have clear intentions for your work? If you have children, do you have clear intentions for your family? If not, you may end up recreating what's already been done or what you've experienced in the past.
