You Are Not Who You Think You Are - Transformative Thinking

Hey Guys & Gals



I haven't been motivated to blog lately!  I feel like I wasn't ready to come back to LA after NOLA, and I have stubbornly been refusing to give up the idea of traveling and vacation.  I have also been in more of the mood to be searching within, than chatting about Auditions and acting focus.  I have felt like I am having a hard time keeping my light shining. Allowing others' worries, moods, fears affect me in negative ways.  Allowing my own fears, doubts and distrust in people or the universe to clutter my brain with poor thoughts, make me second guess my intuition or even distract me from the good that is occurring. Things like this video help put all that to rest. It helps wake up the spirit after turmoil, let down or disappointment.  My light is diminished because I am allowing it to be.  And I want to wake up and start over and choose to be that light again. I have it in me, I have always had it in me, and this guy.....this stranger, this actor with a positive message, made me feel more seen, accepted and loved (understood & acknowledged) in 5 minutes than some of the people in my life have ever made me feel about myself.  Which includes myself.  I let my work on self love & care fall to the waist side when the to do list becomes overwhelming or other people need me or when I need to work a ton to catch up financially.  When self-care is neglected, my light goes out.  It's a flame with no oxygen. That is not okay. And when I fan the flame I see all the good I am able to create because I feel good. I am choosing good.  I had proof of that again in New Orleans last week. Which I will share The Good News about in my June Newsletter soon.


Keep the people around who want you to shine brightly because they know how powerful you are, should be, and need to be to make this planet a better place. Those who only seemed to get burned by your fire, let them fly away and fry themselves elsewhere! Don't let anyone diminish your good or make you feel like you are less than and need to play small for their comfort.  If you don't want to cut and run, call them out....either they will respect you enough to explain that there was a misunderstanding or be willing to change themselves for the higher purpose of the relationship.  If they can't do that, just say goodbye.  Life is too short to be buried under someone else's baggage.



Enjoy this video and remember how amazing you truly are!

Mercury Retrograde is having it's way with Me!

Hey Guys & Gals

Well, it doesn't at all surprise me that I am late again on my blog!  It's MERCURY RETROGRADE, which means my OWN planet Mercury is going backwards and messing with my awareness & energy.  In other words having it's way with me!  I fill like my head is spinning lately.  Spinning like a tornado, picking up good incite, picking up and placing me in traffic jams, throwing old memories at me to look at and move through them in a new way, making me late for things or even missing appointments, computer issues, and miscommunications, and also reconnects. Folks from my past are coming out of the wood work.  that part is pretty cool!  This is a time to reflect and double or triple check everything, especially alarms!  And of course the universe gets me 2 auditions for projects that will happen while I'm in New Orleans! hahaha  That packing my bags, getting/missing work thing.....

Here's a little bit more on Retrograde!  

AGH! I have definitely been feeling it!  Looks like it will clear my last few days down south!

At any rate, I started my #resumecountdown. But in retrograde fashion I seem to be missing some old footage.  So I will just be mentioning some projects and offering clips of others. I recently saw this quote and it inspired this idea. Thank you Pinterest!

So this  #resumecountdown is for that purpose. To remind me of how far I have come.  And that I haven't been sitting on my ass! haha  I started posting on June 1st to my instagram and I shared it with my Facebook & Twitter.  If you aren't connected to me yet.  Please feel free to click and attach to my links.  I will be post a project a day.

So, for Day 4 of my #resumecountdown, You will see a little film I helped cast, produce, and played a supporting role in called GAMEFACE from the Mind & self taught filmmaker Jim Rhodimer!  I play LIZ, and dyed my hair red & black & slapped on a few fake tattoos for the role.  Also we happened to be the first feature to star Nazanin Boniadi who happens to be killing it on TV nowadays!  Liz looked a little something like this........

Hope you are having a great Thursday!
