Hollywood Adventures - Part 1

-
I'm just about to leave Phoenix for my trip to L.A. The mission of the trip - to help a friend move. Boxes check. Suitcase check. Water check. Road food check. Gas check...okay, time to leave, one more stop at the bank and we're out of here. Suddenly no air conditioning. Its 108 degrees outside!! We drive to the bank before we can head out of town, crossing our fingers that the air conditioner in my '97 Ford Ranger pickup is just experiencing a glitch. Bank...longest line in the history of the world! Wait, wait, and wait some more......Finally! Head out to the truck ready to go, still no air...did I mention its 108 degrees outside!! and did I mention its a Friday afternoon, and I'm exhausted from the work week, and a bit hormonal, and we're pulling a trailer so we can only go 55 mph max in a 75 mph zone? 108 degrees!!! and nothing I can do about it. 108 degrees for 9 hours.....

Okay, I'll admit it. I'm having doubts. How can I continue to afford these acting coach lessons? How can I possibly have enough time to work on my craft, my music, my dance when I'm constantly chasing a four year old around, working a full time job, barely getting enough sleep, let alone getting all the laundry done, and so on and son on and so on, ad nauseam. I'm feeling 'overwhelmed' is an understatement! Maybe I'm crazy and I'm still trying to pursue a path that's closed its door to me many, many years ago. If I'm not performing now, and I didn't move to NYC at 26 when I had the chance, and I'm still dreaming about performing more than doing it then maybe I'm just a dreamer, not a doer, and I need to stop pretending that things are ever going to be any better, and just accept that this is as good as it gets! I'm pretty nice to myself aren't I? This was a rant I began on August 30th of 2010, and one I have mentally revisit

Back to the Beginning

Blogging is where I started... Back in 2009, I moved to Phoenix, Arizona. It was the closest "big city" I could get to. Recently separated, on a clear path to divorce, and with my 2 year old son and two cats in tow I made the leap. All I could think at the time was this was finally my chance. Finally my chance to have the life that I had always wanted. Free from the controlling aspects of my marriage, free from having to put any one else's needs first except myself and my son. I knew I wasn't ready for Los Angeles although I did consider it. I just knew I needed to get out of this small town and try, really try to make something more of myself. To follow the dreams that had been nagging and tugging at me my entire life. The Artist's life. I thought, "this is my big chance"...and I couldn't have been more wrong...more on that later. So I am back at the beginning. That 2 year old son is now 15 and so much has changed, especially me. Among the turmoil,
