The Beginning...

Seems like yesterday, I was lugging a carseat with my new daughter into the waiting room of my agency, for an audition; asking my girl, actress, & fellow mom Karen (w/carseat in tow as well :-)) or anyone else who didn't look like a stalker, to watch my child, while I go into "the room".  Oh the memories of slipping into the restroom of the Corner Bakery, on my lunch break, dressed in a suit with glasses on, and then emerging like Superman, with contacts on, make-up flawless, hair flowing, fitted jeans and a bright colored top, headed over to Stillwell for an audition!  Many a day, wondering if the folks at the restaurant thought I was a hooker on the low. :-)  Sheer chaos...but pure adrenaline...and all this to hear those three little words..."You booked it!"  My first successful call from my agent....a commercial..."You booked it!" 

Before I decided to start acting professionally, I had done my vision board, wrote out my goals, put into practice those proven tools for success, and on that list..."To do a commercial." Check!
At that time, I knew that I loved acting, but wasn't considering it as a career, so I thought...a commercial would be fun. :-)  Well, you see...God sets bigger goals for us than we can imagine!  He knows what your true passion is and in time..the right time...reveals to you what it is.  He gives you the intention, the intuition, the gumption, and the tools to start on your journey to fulfilling it.  I should have known it was gonna be good with all the excitement and adventure I had experienced starting out on this journey, but 12 commercials later, and a steady growing career as a full-time actress, I have to say....it's been even better than I expected....
