Living the Dream Acting

I recently joined the Arabella Models in a Horse Stable Photo Shoot. I had a great time, and learned a lot. I was happy with the pictures, and even more motivated to continue on my recent weight loss adventure. I've added on, and been carrying, quite a bit of weight in the last 24 months. But now I'm down 16 pounds since the Fall, and my goal is to drop another 15 before Summer. Temporarily Plus Sized, pretty in pink,  and showing it off without shame! But enough about me for now, in the next installment  I'm going to tell you more about  Arabella Models and  its founder Tiffany Jackson .  She's quite the little power house. Also, look for the Living the Dream Acting Podcast   to be released early May. Just in time for my birthday!

Let me start by saying that my father and I had been estranged for many years. I live in Arizona and he lived in Ohio, and I hadn't spoken to him since the mid 90's. There's a story here. A very terrible, and disturbing story that explains why I dropped out of my college theatre program in 1993 with barely a goodbye. (I returned 5 years later which I talk about in an earlier post.) This part of my life I'm saving for the someday-to-be-published "Autobiography of My Life" which we all keep mental notes on for a far off; imaginary; when-we-have-enough-fans-who-care; or Mark Twain style 100-years-after-my-
