Note to Reader: I had this idea sometime last year, the year that shant be named, and decided to run with it. I wondered what I would want to say to my 16 year old self, that dramatic, smiley, daydreaming, heart on her sleeve girl if I had the opporutinity to reach back in time…
I have a tendency to isolate when I am struggling. I disconnect with social media, I stop talking with friends and I just try to cope the best way I know how. I wake up and take care of my son and try to breathe through the elephant of anxiety on my chest, focusing on…
I went to an acting seminar in Asheville, NC shortly after I wrapped filming on a tv show I was an extra for. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. It reawakened a creative passion in me that lay dormant for longer than I care to admit. So after the show…
