Feeling a bit crummy today and almost everything feels like an uphill impossible battle. I can hardly remember that we had a four day vacation in St. Lucia not that long agoā¦ šµāš«
Remembering this moment from our trip. Tanned (burnt really) relaxed and stress free. š
I know Mondays are rough so Iām trying to keep in mind the week typically gets easier??
Anyone else have the Monday blues??
Iām going to be real vulnerable for a minute. Hang tight. For all the creatives, for friends struggling & to remind myselfā¦
The work doesnāt stop in between. Auditioning for the next job is our full time unpaid job. You do it a thousand times againā¦ and again. Itās Frustrating, exhilarating, brutal, enjoyable and more competitive than ever.
Sometimes you want to throw in the towel (I know I do several times a year after 27 years in this business) because nothing seems to ever be a win, no matter how good the work is, but you keep going because it just takes that one that fits, that one when someone finally says, āYes, her!ā This is a business where there are no āpromotionsā or clear next steps regardless of the hrs youāve clocked and years youāve dedicated to it. Itās a constant grind and you can be tossed aside the very next day.
āØ But it is also an incredible job you GET to do, a business of expression, creativity and adventure. It can be so so magicalā¦ when it all fits into place.
The odds may be stacked against you, but you never know how close you just may be. Itās frustrating AF, donāt get me wrong. So much is out of our control and that may be the most difficult part. Just keep doing good work, make your strong choices, try to have fun when you can. Do the audition and try your best to move on.
Rise up, youāve got this. These are just a few of the auditions Iāve done this yearā¦ maybe half. I booked none of these but you keep going.
28 years today of playing pretend. š„ Started with the series #Goosebumps as a kid.
Empathy is powerful.
Fun fact about me isā¦. š¤¦š¼āāļøš§āāļø wonder why when I drink coffee all the time and listen to murder podcasts. Totally relaxing š¤£ @crimejunkiepodcast

šš„°šš Frankie. Franklin. Bubs. Baby girl. Peanut. Franks. Itās your (approximate) birthday today. Itās your āGot You Day.ā 10 years ago today, @frankie_blueeyes looked up at me from an adoption rescue day in Los Angeles through @lhasahappyhomes
10 years ago we locked eyes. You were the loudest dog there. I asked if I could pick you up. When I did, you snuggled in and stopped barking &I knew it was you Iād been looking for. You made sure you got my attention (and you still do this) and I immediately asked if I could take you home that day. I wasnāt letting you out of my sight again.
I was told they found you downtown Los Angeles under a bus stop. Your hair was matted to your face and overgrown. I wondered who could ever let you go. Your human eyes and your spunky personality. But it didnāt matter, because you found your way home.
We have been through ALL of the ups and downs together. Traveled all over. Youāve been on movie sets, airplanes and more. You have been my constant companion. My joy. My baby girl.
The vet said you were about 2 years old the day I brought you home, so todayā¦ youāre (about) 12! Wow, 12!
You still have so much spunk and personality. You pee like a male dog & have the confidence of a Rottweiler. You bark at squirrels (and have caught 2 which made me panic but they got away š¤£.) You love to just sit in the yard and stare at the sky. Youāve made my life a thousand times better being in it. Taught me how to care for another living creature and how to be a little more patient. Youāre my soul-dog. Iād do literally anything for you. My main goal in buying my first home was purely so that you would have a yard to sit in and stare at squirrels and birds, and you do. š„°
Thank you for choosing me to be your Momma. Happy Birthday to the bestest girl. I love you with all my heart.

Letās go!!!!! Very excited about how this is taking shape. Development with hopes of making it into a series. Long road ahead but committed and here for it. New learning curve for sure but absorbing the knowledge, wisdom and encouragement from some amazing people.
Thank you team!
