it’s official, & i’ve ordered the photos to prove it.

                 Justin Beiber says “Never say never.” I like that. 

So….with that in mind, I just ordered hardcopy headshots in preparation for a casting workshop I signed up for this weekend (it’s my 2nd one in 2 weeks). Although I had pretty much put my *tangible* aspirations as an actress to rest in favor of motherhood, domesticity and volunteering at the school for the last few years, that damn fiery passion for the craft just refuses to be extinguished. Oh sure, I have continued to submit myself for roles via various websites that post casting notices, which managed to land me a few auditions, but nothing that pays.  The big issue is I haven’t had representation in awhile. But, with renewed motivation (thanks Kim and Heidi), all that is about to change. I have enlisted some very dear friends to aide in that process, and will keep everyone abreast of the progress. Wish me luck….and if you can help, you know where to find me 🙂 

Lookout LA….I’m ready for my close-up, and it’s NOW OR NEVER, because I’m not getting any younger….visibly, that is!!!!

Dear Mama and Daddy, resting peacefully in Heaven….. Thanks for bringing me into the world on this day so many years ago. Hopefully, you are watching every move I make, proud of me for the things I have accomplished thus far in this journey. There are many others yet to be realized. I love you both with my whole heart 🙂 xoxo

the basket of optimism

September 30, 2010 by Leave a Comment

I’m just curious. Have you ever been overwhelmed by the feeling that your dreams…the ones that you keep shelving over and over….are about to be realized? I hope so, because I have…. lately, in fact. Maybe it has to do with finally putting all my eggs in a brightly colored, basket of optimism, after gathering up their broken pieces and meticulously super-gluing them back together bit by bit over the last year. Could it be because paying it forward and living right (as my Mama used to call it) shot to the top of the priority list? Or perhaps it has something to do with that look of “mature confidence” The Man remarked about in my new photos. Who knows? For whatever reason though, something is about to happen, and it HAS to be good. Because anymore bad would finish me off…..and I’m not done with this world yet.

Received an email from one of my sisters…I have 3….this morning. It made me smile all over my face, so I thought I’d share. Enjoy!
