it has come to my attention that my parents, or my dad at least thinks that me not getting hired on a show is my fault... why i think this? I got an email from him yesterday with only this link.

it's an article about your professinal image. so i wrote to him saying "why are you sending me a link about a professional image makeover?" to which he replied this:

During her trial the court asked Joan of Arc if she was in the State of Grace. They planned to trick her. If she said that she was not, she would be a self-confessed sinner deserving of punishment. If she said that she was in the State of Grace they were going to condemn her for pride and arrogance. Her answer was " If I am in the State of Grace, I pray that God keeps me there. If I am not in the State of Grace, I pray that God takes me there".

If your professional image is up to speed, may it stay up to speed. If it is not, may it get up to speed. Let me not be the one to judge. Since you recently did a relaunch (I realize this was a personal, not a professinal relaunch) I thought that this may be of interest.
