Just recently, I was overwhelmed with discouragement. I felt buried under the pressure of this project, and although I would never quit, my emotions got the better of me. I felt like I was dragged under weights I could not lift. People often think I am like super woman. But they don’t see me … More KEEP PUSHING FORWARD
It’s been a few weeks since I have worked on Summer Ray. One of those reasons is because I was sick on the couch for a week, all the while feeling somewhat guilty, lost and confused as to why I was not working on the film. But, I needed to get better and to get … More THE WALLS OF JERICHO!
First and foremost, I am a Christian woman. I love God and everything I am is because of Him. My heart, like His, is to be a dispenser of good.

While trying to add a picture to this blog, I accidently deleted two of the top paragraphs. I was almost sick to my stomach…almost. Things like this happen. We can either side-step and move on, or we can wallow in self-pity! Or another option, is both. I needed to do some wallowing for a few … More LIKE PETER!
When you see me now at the age of fifty-six, turning fifty-seven in October, you do not see a woman who is injured and suffering the effects of Traumatic Brain Injury.

Our Fiscal Sponsor Carole Dean of (From the Heart Productions), has such an amazing team. I had recently listened to one of their podcasts and I was blown away by two words…”starving artist!” Why would funding come to me, if I kept pronouncing to the world that I am a starving artist?

Once again, I am working on the first script. It’s almost like designing a wedding cake. The cake without all of the decorations and embellishments, would just be an ordinary cake.
