How often do you say this? “I can’t…” I find myself saying it more than I like to admit. As much as I remind myself to be positive and problem solve creatively, I can easily find myself getting locked into a prison of my own perception. This has happened in relationships… I told myself, “IContinue reading “I can’t…”

Working Hard
Maybe you’ve noticed. Maybe you haven’t. I haven’t written that many blogs this year. Last spring I was writing one every week. Then I went through a period last Fall where I felt like I didn’t have much to say. In the last few months I have had much to say, but too much goingContinue reading “Working Hard”
Vulnerable?
So this great opportunity just recently came up to audition for this new reality TV show called The Reel Deal. It will be filming its first season this summer… and I’m kinda excited about it! It will be the first Reality TV show for ACTORS, DIRECTORS, WRITERS, and COMPOSERS who will be mentored by CELEBRITIES…Continue reading “Vulnerable?”
Shakespeare in a Year: The Beginning
This last year I was inspired to create my own content. Many ideas have sparked, developed, come, gone, and some lay in hibernation. That is a part of the creative process, isn’t it? Run with your ideas until you can’t run anymore. Something like that. Anyway, over the Summer I had this idea to readContinue reading “Shakespeare in a Year: The Beginning”
Making It Happen!
Looking back over this year, it has been quite a roller coaster. Personally, it has been one of the hardest years in a lot of ways. Almost a year ago exactly, my husband and I made the decision for me to come down to LA and give my acting career here a try. I quiteContinue reading “Making It Happen!”
Inspiring Moments
This weekend, I was gifted with the pleasure of attending a screening of “Saving Mr. Banks” on the Walt Disney Studios lot with a Q&A session with Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell, Bradley Whitford and Jason Schwartzman. ….. Incredible! The Movie: How was the movie? I loved it! Maybe I’m biased because of theContinue reading “Inspiring Moments”
A Love Letter
Dear Dad and Mom, Thank you for taking me to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to see my first play when I was 4 years old. I couldn’t get enough. And all the plays that followed (at The Bathhouse, Seattle Children’s Theatre, and Taproot) kept my imagination alive! Dad, thank you for reading bedtime stories toContinue reading “A Love Letter”
For the Love!
I’ve been thinking a lot since writing my blog, About Quitting. I can’t tell you how helpful this honesty has been. It’s initiated several important conversations and I thank each of you who have responded with encouragement and insight into this time of my life. I think one of the biggest things I realized inContinue reading “For the Love!”
About Quitting
How many motivational posters, slogans, and stories have we heard? Never quit. Don’t give up. Just do it. How many times did all those famous people fail before they succeeded? As much as that makes me feel better about my failures it doesn’t make me think I will be so lucky. Not everyone “makes it.”Continue reading “About Quitting”
Have a little Faith
Back in 2008 I lived in Prague, Czech Republic and I was convinced that my destiny was to serve the city through theatre and community involvement. To do this, I interviewed with a faith organization called World Harvest Mission and returned to Seattle to “raise support.” Like with a lot of non-profit endeavors, my nextContinue reading “Have a little Faith”
