Part of Linda's life purpose is to assist people in their creative process. "When a person gets in touch with their creativity, and they're able to express and manifest it, they are inspired, empowered, and truly happy. The craft of acting demands that you examine and use yourself. It allows you to expand, and this process carries over into every aspect of your life. I have the deepest respect for actors - for their perseverance - for their courage - for their spirit!"
