Work In Progress

I’m currently working on my next book and I forced myself to look back through old journals in order to accurately remember the past.
There’s a reason people warn you not to look back.
You get to revisit the best memories, but you have to relive the shitty parts, too.
It’s strange how far away some of those moments feel now;
Others flash before me like a movie and I struggle to believe they actually happened.
Reading the pages from my journals helped me to appreciate how far I’ve come and how focused I was, even back then, to set goals and work towards them.
I am proud of where I am and who I’ve become, and I accept that every day brings a new opportunity to evolve as a person.
The beautiful discovery is while I continue to work toward self-improvement and career advancement, I'm living my dream—and that is my definition of “making it.”

Screening

The excitement of meeting up with the cast and crew months later to watch the final product.
I'm full of nervous energy in anticipation of my performance on a big screen.
The first time my face pops up on screen, I relax.
It's so cool to see my ridiculous reaction right next to movie star Paul Rudd.
The years of hustling, hard work, and perseverance feel small next to my larger than life alter ego.
I love this business. It's important to acknowledged my feelings in moments like this; there's no telling when my next opportunity to shine will come, and I don't want to give up before it does.
Making it in Hollywood means never giving up.

Living The Dream

Choreographing in a hotel room,

Drafting a marketing and PR strategy for my new book,

Composing an email to my manager,

Coordinating a meeting with a TV network to pitch our TV pilot-

All on three hours of sleep.

So I'm pretty much living the dream!

Six Word Essay on Gigs...

Take every single job that pays!

Solid Gold!

There are days in life when everything falls into place...

In LA it happens less often!

Today was one of those magical days...

Celebrate the small victories when they come, and embrace the possibilities!

Make It Happen!

It's not enough to "want" something in life,

You really have to be prepared to fight for it-

You work hard night and day, 

Pouring your heart and soul into a dream;

You give everything you think you have to offer,

Only to discover a deeper hunger and drive than you thought possible.

Then the opportunity comes along to set the plan into action.

Today is the day...

I'm going to make it happen!

Living the Dream!

Slowly and surely the dream is coming to life...
It's so rewarding to see a lifetime of passion, determination and hard work come together in a way far more inspiring than I ever imagined!
Today, I feel proud.
