Influential Impact
Over a year ago I slipped on a pair of baggy pants and was amazed that I thought they looked good. Just a few months earlier I would have felt unsightly and fat. I pondered this sudden change in perception knowing that my body weight…
The Gift of Peace
I have the privilege of caring for my grandson two days a week. He’ll be three in April. I have distinct memories of raising my daughters at that age and it was pretty spectacular, but even with the quality time I was afforded between auditions and bookings…
History and Hope
My father’s mother, Georgia Alice, was four years old when her father tragically fell off a roof and died from brain injury hours later. My great grandfather’s business partner proceeded to steal their successful contracting company by burning all evidence of financial partnership in the pot…

My husband and I wearily arrived home from our post Christmas vacation last month. After tucking away the last of my packed items, I climbed into bed with the satisfaction of an organized life and a new day ahead. My eyes flashed open. I had…
Life’s Magic
I love the Christmas season. I am one of those people who starts the holiday music On Dec 1st with no going back until New Year’s day. Nat King Cole, Harry Belafonte, and Andy Williams, fill both car and home while visions of Jimmy Durante’s…
Thankful in All Things
Today is Thanksgiving. There is SO much to be thankful for no matter how you feel post-election and, trust me, I have loved ones who are zealous for either side. I witnessed visceral tears in my Hollywood acting class Wednesday morning after that jaw dropping…
