Happy Father's Day



Pics of my and my daddy. He's always been there holding my hand and by my side. I love you!


My father is an amazing man. He really is. Just ask anyone who has ever met him. He has such a HUGE heart and he cares about people. All people. He has a joyful spirit and is always laughing or smiling. I can't even express what this man means to me.

I remember a time when I was a teenager and I was in this very awkward stage where it bothered me to have my dad's arm around me. I remember when we had to pose for family pictures and he would put his arm around me, I would shrug it off in embarrassment or disgust. I never understood why I even felt that way as a teen but it hurts my heart to even remember it now. I never said I love you to him at that stage in my life. But now, I tell him every time I hear his voice, and I hug him whenever I see him.

I guess the thought of ever having to lose him or my mom scares me so much because they both have been there for me in ways I could'nt even imagine or begin to thank them for. Even at that ugly stage in my life where I was a complete fool. I really do thank God for both of them because I see it as a blessing that I got lucky enough to have these people as my parents and able to share my life with them. Everything I do, I do for them. Any success I have is directly due to them and their support.

Happy Father's Day daddy, and Yes, I will always be your little girl! :-)

And the JOURNEY Continues...

Image
First of all, let me just say this blog was correctly titled! My journey has been quite an interesting one!  Definitely not "uneventful" - that's for sure... I left LA about 6 1/6 years ago, not knowing why I was leaving a pretty stable acting career in an industry where stable acting careers are hard to find.  I came back home to Texas, not sure what I was looking for, but open to the adventure that was to be found. Three years later, I left Austin and found myself back in my hometown of Corpus Christi Texas, with two kids and a husband.  That was January, 2 years ago.  My initial plan was to open up a casting office in town, and continue casting.  What I found was a city that didn't have much of an entertainment business community.  No talent agencies, no acting schools, aside from high school theatre and the college and university.  That makes casting very difficult. That's when I decided to start teaching.  I found Aurora Arts Theatre, and they welcome

Proud Agent

So...I'm having one of those moments where I am extremely proud of the talent I represent. No really - I have some amazingly talented actors on my roster.   Yes - here in South Texas.  Corpus Christi to be exact.   A city which has NEVER had a talent agency submitting actors for these opportunities! I had the pleasure of seeing the opening night performance of the musical RENT at the University last week.  Three of the leads are with my agency, and the others, I would love to sign on!  The show was SOOOOO freakin good.  I had seen some of these actors in other shows and never knew some of them can sing like that!  And to see my actors, the ones with the agency, push and stretch their acting limits for these roles, it was the coolest thing to witness!  I think because of my background, and knowing the hard work an acting career takes, it makes me a special kind of agent - one who appreciates the work my actors do - on stage, and off. Another proud moment this past wee

ACTOR: Your Hobby or Profession?

Acting is fun.  And for the most part, those who have been bitten by the acting bug will find a way to ACT.  Whether its in their school's play production, community theatre, independent films, or their own youtube channels.  I have seen a ton of talent in my life.  Both at the small town level, and on Hollywood sets.  And I often wonder about the actor onstage in the local community theatre and wonder what their plans and dreams are...  When I started as an actor, I absolutely loved it.  I couldn't get enough of it, actually.  I would audition for plays back to back, participate in student films whenever I could, and dreamt about the day when I could actually do it for a living.  That was my goal.  To make a living doing what I loved to do - so that "work" wouldn't feel like "work". And so I busted my ass to make it happen.  I was focused on a goal and made sure I achieved it. I'm pretty proud of myself.. But I realized that not everyone who
