I am somebody special

Finding yourself

I am somebody special

The last six months I have gotten out of my comfort zone. I have moved from Arkansas to Michigan to finally Illinois. I decided on Illinois because I am an inspiring entertainer who does what I like and likes what I do when I do get a chance to act. I am a struggling artist and I will accomplish everything I want in life. I have bills to pay so I cant just wait around for casting calls so I do have part time jobs. It has been hard for me to adjust to changes that I have made but I hope it will all be worth it in the end. I enjoy entertaining people and seeing happiness on their face. I have auditioned to be a model and walking down a runway is an experience I will not forget even if it is only auditioning. It is a rush for me and I never thought I would model but absolutely love it. In order to make your dreams come true you must get out of your comfort zone. It has been hard for me to realize I am good enough to be in the entertainment industry. My daughter is one of my biggest fans and I love the fact she supports me so much. Both of my kids are grown and now I feel as if it is my turn to live my second half of my life the way I dreamed. Entertaining is a hard job not a 9-5 job but I do love every minute of it when I get a chance. I hope within a year I have my own place and a steady acting job such as tv series or a movie. There is no business like Show business. Most of my life I have felt I am not good enough or Im not pretty enough, Well.. guess What! I am good enough to accomplish anything I want. I want to be able to help my kids when they need financial help, right now I am barely surviving but I will make it to the top of my game. I am just beginning my career.

I am more than blessed to have the family and friends support I have. I may not have been the best mom or spouse at times but I do love my family. I wouldn't know what to do without any of them I am living with a friend I met 9 years ago and never thought she would be the one to open her door to me. She has been more than a blessing to me and such a wonderful friend to me.

To all the girls and boys who think they aren't good enough to follow your dreams give it time and hard work you can accomplish anything. All you need is a little support from one person and believe in yourself. YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH!! Do not let anyone tell you any different. I have taken my criticism and turned it into positive thinking. The more people who told me I wasn't going to make as an actor the more I have pushed myself even more. I am a struggling artist right now but in a few years or less I will be name you wont forget.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
