Thank God for friends

I had a great rehearsal with my friend Samantha Fontana today. I always have a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to my dreams, every time I speak to her. She motivates me to pursue my goals with everything I have.

We are doing a scene from David Rabe's, "In the Boom Boom Room." Even though I would probably never be cast as Chrissy, it is such good practice for me to work on this scene. We have our first showing tomorrow and I feel really good about it.

It is so nice to work with someone who pushes you to do your best work and who is not afraid to be honest with you. I feel lucky to have such a great network of friends and fellow artists who continuously inspire me.

Time to get in shape!

Wow! After my first acting class in months, I didn't feel so hot. I wanted to criticize my acting ability and go on a negative tirade. However, since I swore to never say anything negative about myself, I couldn't. Even though I am feeling stressed about where I fit in within this industry, I am trying to look on the bright side. Class today made me realize that I have some work to do. Instead of trying to find all the answers to everything I am trying to figure out, I am going to take baby steps. I am going to focus on this class, give it my all and get back into shape. I am looking forward to it. For now, all the other stuff will have to take a back seat.

Baby Steps

Lately, I have been feeling at a loss when it comes to what steps to take in pursuing my acting career. I know where I want to be but I don't know how to get there. I have to remind myself that Rome wasn't built in a day and I have to be patient with myself. Doing a little every day is what I need to focus on. I feel that this blog, will be one of the baby steps that I will be happy that I made.
