Why the Artist’s Way Rocks

Ah, Julia! You came to me at a critical point in my life, when I was thirsty for creative autonomy. I was too fragile to withstand the rigors of the acting business, yet I had this stubborn need to be seen and create. I knew I had talent. Never mind getting an agent;...

Happy Birthday to Me

It’s my birthday week. Actual day: April 2nd.  What is it about birthdays that makes me feel so positively childlike about them? I take the day itself as a free pass…I go out to pamper and buy things for me. I don’t schedule any appointments. I just celebrate...
