I Believe in Miracles!

I Believe in Miracles and I can tell you why!

I went through a little time this year were I felt down, attached to what was NOT Happening in my career, measuring myself by the amount of TV shows and Feature film credits on my resume and feeling disappointed, frustrated and sad around how hard I felt I HAD to work.  Well, that "Stuck" place was not serving me and I know when I appreciate what it, what I want shows up even faster so I knew who to call on ASAP.

A Miracle Worker.  A true angel, a prayer warrior, a peacemaker, who specializes in tapping (EFT) out those yucky unconscious beliefs that never serve and are not mine to believe EFT and someone who can lead me through a hypnosis session that feels as good as a full nights sleep.  Someone who gets it, has been through it and is ALWAYS working on improving herself and knows just what to say to get me to see the light.

 This Miracle Worker is Jaime Kalman of Inspired Healing and Awareness.

I have been calling on Jaime's healing services for a few years now and as an actress in a pretty crazy business and as a spiritual being who constantly wants to improve, I will call on her again and again.  I will share, (for those who want to hear the quick fix).....I did see miracles after just one session.  Wow.  The amount of love, light, laughter increased in my life, the amount of people (angels) who showed up to help me increased, my heart opened to unexpected good, my awareness of gratitude expanded (and I thought I was already grateful enough, lol) and I BOOKED an acting role on a new TV series.

Here's to miracles happening for YOU because if it is possible for me, it is possible for you.
I pinky promise!

There is no Love like the Love from a Mom!

This Throwback Thursday, I am posting a picture of my Mom and I, celebrating life at one of our favorite beaches together.  I think I was in my junior year of High School at this time.  There is no love like a mom's love.  One of my favorite traits in my mom is how she treats FUN as important as FOOD.  She knows how to throw a party and be the life of the party and she has taught me to do the same.

The Emmy's are Coming, The Emmy's are Coming...

As some of you know, I am a happy active member of the TV Academy, and as a voting member of the TV Academy, I take my duty seriously.  So, for the past few months, I kept receiving all these wonderful gifts from Showtime, HBO, History Channel, ABC, NBC, FX, etc.  Every day when the door bells rings, it was like Santa Claus was at the door.  When I opened the door, there he was, the mailman, handing me another brown box and I would open it like a kid on Christmas Day and behold inside, there would be this Colorful box with screeners of many many shows.  And, I would allocate as much time as possible between auditions, coachings, consulting, and classes to watch all of them and some were not just two or three episodes, some were entire seasons.  I just would watch Entire seasons like Mr. Selfridge, starring Jeremy Piven who I met on Entourage and in Mr. Selfridge, he was truly a Mr. a Gentlemen, showing acting skills and then when the Netflix Box came, Orange is the New Black.  I had no idea how good the show was and the day that I put that DVD into my player, ready to watch oh, maybe 2 episodes, I found myself 13 hours later, wanting to subscribe to Netflix, so I can watch the next season, wow, what a show.  Truly a leading edge, majestically written and performed new golden age TV show.  And then, after all my hard work I had the joy of proudly casting my vote for all these shows.  Thank you TV Academy.

Thank you TV Academy for giving me the opportunity to cast my vote on many new shows, it was an honor and a privilege. I look forward to the 25th!

California Entertainment Industry Needs Your Help!

As an actress in California who moved to this great state to thrive as an ACTRESS.  I invested my morning writing numerous letters to Senator Knight, Senator Beall, Senator DeSaulnier, Senator Hernandez, Senator Liu, Senator Wolk, Senator Walters, Staff Director, Colin Grinnell and Republican Consultant, Scott Chavez in support of Assembly Bill 1839, to expand the current CA Film and Television Tax Credit program.

The entertainment industry is a vital part of California’s economy. Over 500,000 jobs and more than 50,000 California small businesses depend on a thriving film and television production industry.  But with the pressure of incentive programs in other states and countries,  California’s share of the top grossing feature film market has slipped from 68% to just 8%.  Production of one-hour television shows has also left the state – dropping from 64% to 28% over the past 8 years.   

AB 1839 invests in California’s future economy, and would help return our state to its rightful place as the home of the entertainment industry.  

Please consider writing your own letter today or emailing one or two in support.  Thank you in advance for any letter you write or email you send!  I have listed the email addresses below:

Why not UP the GRATITUDE?

You heard it before, GRATITUDE is the BEST ATTITUDE.  So, between you and me, I started to get stuck in my mind set last week and noticed myself slipping into a state of "I'm not enough" or "I am not where I want to be," so I knew I had to take immediate action to UP my GRATITUDE.  I decided for one month, in addition to my GRATITUDE JOURNAL, I will email one person per day to say, thank you and specifically share with them all the reasons why I love and appreciate them in my life. 

Trust me, since starting this gratitude practice, I have experienced even more abundance, because Abundance is in harmony with gratitude.  I received email replies back from the people I was reaching out to, writing all the reasons why they appreciate me and I have been experiencing more and more unexpected, wonderful news.  I invite you to try it and let me know your thoughts!

Lucky Me....He's a STAR!

I am so grateful to be a member of the Television Academy.   Through the TV Academy events I get to meet incredible actors like Bob Newhart and Jon Voight to name a few, and hear incredible producers speak like Michelle Ashford (creator/EP of Masters of Sex) and Alex Gansa (EP and Showrunner for Homeland).  I always leave the events inspired and with even more advice I can implement into my own career.

It is such a JOY and an Honor to be a member.

Want to Help me, Help the Children?

 If you know me, you know how much I LOVE and ADORE children and what children mean to me.  When I see a child smile I see JOY and agape LOVE and all my so called problems melt away.  When I saw the opportunity to get involved raising funds for these children, I jumped to it and said YES.  Please join me in creating more sunshine in this world by supporting the children at St Jude's Hospital.  I am teaming up with Yoga Works and St. Jude's Hospital to raise money to find cures for cancers and save the lives of children.

Please go to my page, here and help me, help the children of our world!

Love, Light and Miracles
