Don't miss this exclusive glimpse into the world of Hollywood casting and beyond with Nancy Perkins! - - - You Can Make A Difference: I have spent most of my life telling stories because I believe they can transform our lives and heal the planet. And while you may know me as the creator of Roseanne, Home Improvement, and other milestones from my career, I hung up my hat in Hollywood and started writing stories that encourage kindness, inspire hope, and celebrate goodness I believe stories connect us. Instead of drowning in an ocean of despair, I want to offer tiny islands of hope where readers can stop for a few minutes and think about the goodness that still exists in the world. This pursuit has led to me towards a passionate project and book called Glimpses - a collection of personal essays and spiritual musings that I hope will open hearts, stir thoughts, and trigger conversations about life, love, and all that spiritual stuff. The best part? All of the proceeds from my books, lectures, and seminars will be donated to children’s charities. Get your copy here (https://shorturl.at/EFV28)
