I am the first to admit that (at times) I take life WAY too seriously, and I think that’s probably true about many people.

10 years ago, I began to realize that it was time for me to use my gifts to help others. I didn’t want to do it…that wasn’t the life that I choose for me!

10 years ago, I was recovering from a serious car accident and living at home with my parents. I remember my frustrations, anger and fears and sharing these emotions with my MOM as I was looking for answers that were going to get me on the path that I wanted to take… to be on TV and in the Theater. I just knew that I had to Keep going…Keep going…Keep going.
