Self-focus is a necessary
phase on your journey,
but once you
see yourself realistically,
through objecttive
self-observation,
it's time to shift your attention
from yourself to the world,
when looking in the mirror, notice the frame.....

we each are on a journey sometimes it may make a turn unexpected and then we will need to swerve a little however, make sure to get back on that road and do not let that swerve turn into a crash. I am swerving right now but will get back on that paved road to freedom.......italianogoddess amber castello

honor and learn
from your emotions,
but do not let them
control your life.
behave with kindness
and compassion
no matter what
you are feeling.
this is not denial;
this is courage...blessings, italianogoddess amber

ciao fans,
It just keeps happening to me and what blessings are comming my way. I am in awe over everything this past week. I just received a phone call and again I wasa cast in another movie and to be honest I never thought I would get that part. It is very overwelming for me right now. My family tells me that I do to much and need to focus on one thing. However, I can and will not do that as that is not me. So I do not let that influence me and I can finish my book by Fe 1 and it will be on new york best sellers list bu june. I will proceed with my acting and can and will act in two different productions and I will Direct and cast Both sises now and we will get picked up as I will make that happen. I will start my record label and make my own cd and help other artists. I will always give and help anybody in need as long as I feel they deserve it. I can see through people and I know whom needs me. So like I said 2009 MY YEAR....So watch for me and send me your energy and love. I dedicate my life to helping others and god has blessed me and given me these great opportunties to help others and make a HUGE difference in this world. Thank you all for supporting me and helping me make my dreams a reality...god bless, amber

buona sera fans,
Well, I had my meeting with the producer/director and guesse what I am going to make a movie. This is like A Dream come true for me as it will be my first Directing gig. I did Direct "Cuba" however that was a documentary not a comedy/Drama like this one. So this is a blessing for me and to tell you a little more about my film. Well, I will not give you the whole synopsis however, rather a little detail about this particular feature film. The title is "Both sides now" I wrote this script 4 years ago and never pursued the idea of making it. I was going through a hard time in my life at that particular
time and writing this script actually helped me pull through my own struggles. So basically it was my therapy and I did not halfto pay somebody to receieve it.

"Both Sides now"
writer/Director Amber Castello

In society we deal with labels everyday and often others are judged by a label society has imposed upon them. Well, labels lead to discrimination and hate. Love does not have a size, shape, color or sexual orientation for that matter. It is something that comes from inside you. If we all took the time to really reach out to others regardless of a label then there would not be so much hate and discrimination in this world. Love is universal and does not judge or label it is the purest thing in this world. It is not materlistic and it is kind, nurturing and accepting. I go into detail with my film and you see these 4 characters whom are diametrically different however, they all four come together and find something about each other they value. All of these characters have been judged by society standards in a negative way. The form amazing friendships and realtionships through the eyes of pure genuine love. There is more but that is a idea of this amazing feature film and the first feature with CASTELLO PRODUCTIONS. I am very proud to be able to show the world my work and reach out and help as many people as I can. We plan to start shooting in june and before then I will cast the movie as I am the casting director as well. We will build up this film for the hype and do web-epsodes leading up to filming. We are on a extremely low-budget so we are hiring out crew and actors for credit only. I am not even getting paid for this one and this is about the message and getting credit on your acting resume. We will be filming in Boulder Colorado on location. I will start auditiong for the cast in Febuary as well as crew to get the web stuff up and photos of the cast. I am looking for young looking leads as the cast needs to look around 17 and 18 and I will put up character profiles on a few different web sites. I will be casting mom and dad roles so age range 35-55 as well. I do not care how old anybody is as long as you can look younger and older. I will most likely get a student make-up artist so she/he can get credit. As I stated this feature film is for credit and we will also give you a copy of the movie to add to your reel. I will also be giving out recommendation letters for anyone aboard this project. I am looking at my Cu students that I want to audtion for the film. So you buolder students be prepared for a phone call and a audtion offer. Think big and dream big and you can make your dreams a reality.....I am very blessed and living my dream with film, music, and my self-help books and modeling. I want to make as much money as possible so I can give it back to others and help as many people as I can.....Thank you all for your support and book a session that will help me with finance for my film projects....kisses, amber castello

ciao fans,
I hope you all had a wonderful christmas with your family and friends. I hope you found the true meaning of this holiday in regards to yourself. That is different for each and every one of us. Think about things you are grateful for and the wonderful people in your life. Cherish each moment with those whom surround you and make sure to express how you feel. We never know when somebody will be taken away from us. So make sure you tell those you care about and love how you feel. Words are a gift to be expressed not hidden inside and so express how you feel no matter how hard that may be for some of you. I am a writer so very big on words and I express myself very openly no matter what the outcome. I share gifts with others in a different way. The gift of friendhip is truly a blessing and connecting with another soul. For some it is hard to connect with others on a deep level. I can actually be like that however, it is getting better. I am going through a transition in my life and new chapter and I am well aware it will rough at times. I will push myself through any rough waters I encounter and reach the shore. That is who I am and have always been. So never get discouraged as remember it is temporary and YOU CAN GET THROUGH THIS. I will write about this in my book and April is my month this year. There will be amazing things that will happen in April. I know there will be times you want to give up and that is a normal feeling. However, write down a list of things to do that will help you get over the hump. I do not know what those things are for you as we are all different. What helps one person may not help another. Life is a blessing and there is a plan for every single one of us. We may not know what that is right now however, when you are ready it will prevail itself to you. Often times we miss the signs and the closer you get on your enlightened path the more you will see those signs. Sometimes we are so clouded that we miss out. So love as many people as you can and give pure genuine love to as many people as you can. I promise you if you do that your heart will grow. I live my life like this and my heart keeps growing and now I am on the 8th life. Remember I told you I was clincally dead 7 times and keep comming back. Somettimes it is hard to beleive all I have gone through and survived. However, that makes me more grateful and thankful and there are more people I need to love and help. I am in my creative mode today as you can tell and I have a huge business meeting today with a famouse Director/producer so being in this particular mode is wonderful. So send me your energy and there are amazing things happening for me this next year...thank you all for your support and keep watching for me on the screen and in your bookstore and on that cd shelf. This is my time now and it can be yours just beleive in yourself always. blessings, italianogoddess amber read below

humility comes
from seeing ourselves
in the proper perspective.
no one is better,
no one is less.
we're all simply
being who we are
and doing what we do....
