When ur hard headed, you have to be prepared to learn lessons the hard way.  Maybe one of my handicaps has actually been what I’d previously prided myself on. Do you guys think you can be friends with an ex? And is that answer contingent upon whether or not their/ur current is an insecure nut ball?  You see I’ve always felt like when an ex crosses the line, than the ex needs to be X’d. However if the split was amicable and both parties understand and respect each other and the person they are becoming individually, How do you then end the friendship because the relationship doesn’t work? You know there are tons of ‘technicalities’ when it comes to this and I could totally play devils advocate. There are so many variables to be considered. I’ve been on each side of this scenario more times than I’d care to have been but what I know rite now is, GOD WANTS ALL OF ME.  PERIOD! It’s almost as if he knows my proclivities, he knows my kind heart, he knows those who have be...

This past weekend my nieces were with my Mom. As we all skyp'd I joked with them about how lucky they are to have a GRANDMA like the one they have.  A day later I received mail from AUNT THELMA. God is truly amazing, for everything you 'don't have' he has equipped you with so many things and people to fill the gap. Everyone should have an AUNT THELMA :_) More often than not, I make excuses for people in my life by saying "They don't understand" "You can't support something you don't get" but My AUNT THELMA who lives wayyy in VA. and has most likely never had a desire to be an Actress, doesn't have to understand, to encourage me. When you love someone u encourage, support and become a prayer warrior for their success. Aunt Thelma sends cards for EVERYTHING and I KEEP EM  Thanks Aunt Thelma, for ALWAYS being on time. When I don't realize I need an Aunt Thelma card, they come and ALWAYS make me cry, lol. YOU are the standard ...

There are several ways to read the title of this entry and most likely depending on where YOU are, you have your own idea or implication of where this entry is going.   However, I wanna preface this by saying, it’s probably not what you think ,lol.. Now Beyonce (I love her) had the song out what maybe last summer, saying   “ thank God I found the Good, in Goodbye” and trust me, I got that! I understood that and I resonated with, that lol. However this entry is about                                      “ The   GOOD that you must say BYE to” Not every relationship will end with a painfully obvious reason as to why it’s ending. In fact the ones that don’t end with the, “im glad u left him/her” ending are the ones that actually hurt the most or tend to linger longer than they sho...

Atleast twice a year I have an overwhelming desire to re-read 'The Alchemist'. It's typically when I realize how pursuing my destiny is costing me my life. Anyway, if you've followed my blog or if we communicate on FB or Twitter I'm sure you've heard me speak of 'The Alchemist' well, I'm on it again, lol.. If you've never read it, it's life changing, read it! When I feel like i'm in a vital transition and God is really moving me to a new level, I tend to read heavy scripture. Now, I read the word everyday but in times of trial, honey sometimes I get to a place where i just sleep with the bible in the bed, just in case a dream wants to go south on me, lol.. But, no my point is that through times of trial I become distant, I quiet the world around me so that I can hear God's whisper and it usually takes me to a place of seeking his word all day long and 'The Alchemist' is always a book I grab to re read. My copy looks so bad, ...

      It’s hard, but not because there aren’t enough roles, or I can’t find agents that get me, or any of the other ‘cliché’ reasons. It’s hard because IT’S LONELY! I’m starting to feel that I can’t trust anyone with my dream. The fact that I’m pursuing this dream according to his word, I’m easily offended when someone else doesn’t respect my ‘grind’. I’m offended because I DON’T HAVE A CHOICE, he chose me! What I do, just as well as what I won’t do, is a reflection of my   obedience to Gods plan. It’s sad when something so pure, genuine and ordained by God has to be guarded from the very people that claim they LOVE HIM. I can’t believe that I have to hide God’s blessings from saints #heartbroken These lessons are hard and they are hard because they are a prerequisite for what I will endure at the appointed time of his promise. Pastor Toure’ Roberts said “Don’t step into this industry needing anything”  You must be humbled and on assignme...

   I went from having nothing to say, to having too much to say. It’s awesome how God can just fill you up to where u feel obligated to share a revelation or deliverance or even a mere hope. I’m gonna keep this short because I don’t want the length to deter anyone from reading it ;-)     “I admit Lord that I enjoy it but I love you more and I’m more concerned      with my destiny in you and I won’t let anything come in between it. “      After I admitted that to the Lord I began to HATE that THING, it became an      enemy- pastor toure In short the sermon I heard told me that this ‘issue’ was keeping me from my destiny.   The mere reality that I was asking God to take away what I was still holding on to, whether it be a past relationship, a habit, a desire. I disliked it but I have to hate it, to be delivered from it. Romans 8:19 says “ For the Earnest expectation of...

Ok so MANY LA ACTORS are pretty stank with their 'hook ups' and if your one of them, consider this                                             "What GOD has for ME, is FOR ME" I did a one hour shoot with a couple quick looks today and the photog is doing FREE 2 look head shots for the next few weeks.
