  • Shooting a PSA

    So I'm Baltimore bound to shoot a PSA aka a Public Service Announcement.

    I'll let you know what it's for once it kicks off...

    I'm wide awake, yet so sleepy. I went shopping for a couple "in season" sweaters, because all the fall sweaters I've owned have been black for the past three years. -Hahahaha

    I will be videoblogging ... you should always remember to check out my website http://findlife.weebly.com

    I already have some craziness up there, my headshots and my comp. card.

    In any case, G-d has been doing amazing things in my life, and it's so cool to see where He's taking me. The further under my "father covering" I am, the more I get blessed! Lord I just thank you so much for this exciting opportunity...

    My momma is driving down to Baltimore with me, she rocks! (that's another G-d thing). We still have our moments but ultimately, we love eachother and have really made it work for us. =)   -I believe that G-d has really blessed me in this area as well, which then all still continuously moves into one big blessing...

    My up and coming career is all clearly because I have allowed G-d to work in my life.

    My mission is to let people continue to see how fast He works if we lose ourselves completely to Him and let Him carry you through everything. It's giving up total control and allowing Him to take you on the most amazing, yet hurtful time of your life! -Haha I said that correctly. It's not all easy and fun... Sometimes it's painful and upsetting... but He carries you through it... and I went through it, believe me! -However, now look at what amazing things He's taking me into!

    Okay, I need to stop... But only because I NEED sleep cause I don't want bags under my eyes for this PSA tomorrow!

    Peace homies!

  • Live Intentionally. Do Your Friendships Have Purpose?

    I have friends. Good job, we never saw that one coming, I know! --566 and counting, according to the good old internet world called Facebook... hah!

       The reason I have these friends are because they have all spoken into my life, they have seen that I am moving on into great things because it is where they know I have been called to. - I'm just navigating a road that is not clearly defined, with only knowing the end goal.

    So I charge you with this question:

    Biblical definition of a friend: Someone who will help you in reaching your full potential in God. The Biblical definition of an enemy is just the opposite: someone who hinders y...our growth and keeps you from your full potential. Based on that..who in... your life is a true friend....who is really your enemy?

    For me, I have been sorting things like this out. I have never been a girly-girl. I was always a tomboy, no-nonsense... very mature for my age... and NEVER caddy.
    I have no patience for people that are my best friends, to demonstrate such immaturity. In the past month I was hearing all these lies and gossip from other people about me.

    It is not true. None of it. I believe that they all stemmed from several sources, only a couple of them were from people that I trusted with a lot of my own thoughts. -It's painful to me, or whomever you gossip about. -If someone ever uses the phrase "it was for accountability purposes" that is also not true. If you have a friend that holds you Biblically accountable... that's for you to talk about your feelings and things to, not to talk about another friend; and then try to justify it by marking it as accountability.

    Friendships are complicated, but what it comes down to is... how do you treat the friendship? Have you done the best to create a safe place for you to grow as friends with one another?

    Spiritual maturity is different than emotional maturity. I can't take either. I love through it, but when it gets to that cadd-girly stuff I don't do it. Never have. I believe that most of my friends can testify to the fact I have always hung out with guys, purely to avoid it.

    Live intentionally. I only have time for true friendships that are growing and have a purpose. All the other's fail with out a sense of direction.

    Are you living your life intentionally?
  • I wrote this a couple weeks ago... Finding Truth

    A Bit About My Life/Meditations:
    I love G-d with all my heart and I desire to walk in TRUTH. So here's the deal. We are not all perfect, but we are to walk according to His standards. These people that make judgements without all the facts are not just all over the media, they are people that are your best friends, they are the people that are your nextdoor neighbors. We are to judge, but we are NOT to condemn.

    People that blog about the entertainment industry, that ARE Christian are forgetting that we are to be praying people into it; we cannot let all the thousands upon thousands not hear that G-d is alive and moving in this day and age. Are we supposed to let them all just go to the lake of fire? -I think not. There are people that are called to be there and ACTIVE and as long as they are ROOTED and GROUNDED not only in G-d but in love... which are the same thing (read my intro page) and constantly going back to The Word -aka THE BIBLE, then they are following in a path, that yes, it is hard... But they are listening to were He is leading them.

    I do nothing without Him. I take no jobs without a careful thought process. I will be used. I do want to be known as a Christian, but I do not want to be known as a 'Christian' Artist. There is a difference, and it's important to know the difference. I measure myself by His standards... It comes back to whether or not a relationship is fruitful (one of my previous entries) and good things are coming from it. -The same thing goes for the gigs I take. I have a list that I measure myself by so that I can stay true to who I am in Him, and where He's taking me to.

    "Caterpillar in the tree, how you wonder who you'll be. Can't go far but you can always dream. Wish you may and wish you might, dont you worry hold on tight. I promise you that there will come a day, Butterfly fly away..."  Miley Cyrus : Butterfly Fly Away Songwriters: Ballard, Glen; Silvestri, Alan;

    Miley Cyrus is a beautiful girl and I love her. She sincerely has a good heart... This is what she tweeted in the past hour which I wanted to re-tweet to all of you to give note of. -She has gone through a lot, and the entertainment industry is hard to navigate when you are not rooted and grounded enough in the Word, or when you are young. I think It's good I didn't pursue it when I wanted to... She has made mistakes and she has apologized for them... Here's the Re-tweet: mileycyrusI'm the happiest I've ever been & for that my family's SO grateful. So for LAME bloggers that don't know what they're talking about SHUT UP!27 minutes ago

    This is how I've felt and I am NOWHERE near her caliber in the entertainment arena. I commend her for putting this out there for us to read. This is something that even I have related to (this is what that friendship blog was about in September).

    So I just pose this question... How well do we know a person and what he or she stands for without knowing them on an intimate level? -How are we to know what is really going on with someone without all the facts? We are to judge, but we have to watch how we come across to people... People will not receive whatever it is we have to say without grace, and love, and actually hearing from someone. Or really true and thorough research on a topic.

    I try to research everything before I ever speak or blog about it. Every last bit... Not quotes that were said only over a year ago, but the current things... To see a progression, and to evaluate and reach out to people...

    Let's try to remember how to do this, and then maybe we will see how beautiful the butterfly has turned out. . .
    This is where I'm coming to...

  • Whirlwind of a Life

    What hasn't happened since I updated this thing???

    I think I left off at, I got promoted... finally.

    Well then I've been working through a management transition in my new store so it's been tough. But then...
    I did perform that wedding ceremony and then well --

    TWO weeks after I got there, to my new store I was getting these incessant calls from a company in NYC that wanted to sign me... Keep in mind I applied to this company in November and I said, "Meh, if G-d wants it to happen then it will..." -They called me back but my phone reset itself so I never got back to them and went away with that attitude...  6 months later, they're calling me incessently! -HAH. So I finally call them back and a week later I was on my way in to NYC to see the office director...Told me to come back in the next day...so there I was, I was on my way back into the city the next day! -I was operating on no sleep because I was also working that morning, and driving back to catch a train in... they wanted to sign me...

    Three days later they called me and told me someone wanted me for a film called "The Homeschooled" -so we wrapped that this weekend... ALL on top of working at VS/or sitting in VS management conferences this past week through the weekend.

    OH RIGHT! -In the meanwhile, at the same time that the company (One Source Talent) was calling me incessantly, I was making connections to friends of friends that were celebrities... like top ones... So all of a sudden I had to change my facebook profile settings because it was to protect all my friends that are celebs that are commenting/talking to me on my wall or texting me, etc. I then got the smart idea to move all my celeb friends to a private account so they're finally catching on, so that I can open up my page to my normal life friends again, hopefully in the next couple weeks.... So my life has become a whirlwind of networking/filming/photo shoots/living a normal humdrum life as a manager for VS.

    I keep forgetting to sleep because my celeb friends text me at all hours of the day/night and there's so much commuting from here to NYC and back and to work and back... I can barely keep up with myself anymore... I'm not sure how much longer I can keep going with "the best of both worlds..."

    Yeah, when you're famous it can be kinda fun
    It's really you but no one ever discovers

    In some ways you're just like all your friends
    But on stage you're a star

    You get the best of both worlds
    Chill it out, take it slow
    Then you rock out the show

    You get the best of both worlds
    Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds...
    ~Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus

  • Series of Legendary Events 1-2-3&and UPDATE! (please read it all, it's fabulous!)

    EVENT#1: So your probably read the events of my birthday... I was stuck in the riot in NYC that happened in the line waiting for the auditions for America's Next Top Model cycle 13... That was THE DAY of my 26th birthday. Then after all that craziness, I was glad that my party of people was small because I don't think I could have handled more people, after being in the mob of millions (and almost dying or being critcally injured on my birthday). Dave&Busters was fun but short lived... but just enough entertainment... While there, my mom texted me to tell me that the riot made the news. (it did, and all of YouTube and Tyra Banks Show site)-- It had been a long day at that point; but in NYC I made some new friends that had taken me out to dinner after the riot was broken up... so it was fun... Just bizarre.

    EVENT#2: Then came fun family festivities... Which was good, but I did miss a couple family members. A week later Merideth and I had a mid 14 day birthday celebration for both of us... We met up in NYC, and then went to Battery Park caught the ferry to Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island... Merideth had never been there before, and I haven't been there since 6th grade, so it was fun... But SUPER-WINDY! After we returned to the mainland we went to Times Square and ate at "BubbaGump Shrimp Co." Which was hilarious and super-fun! We called her SM to find out about someone picking her up at the train station when she would be getting there, and found out that her director cancelled rehearsal... So more time for us! YAY! Mer wanted to see "The Little Mermaid," so I said, "that works..." We started heading toward the theatre, and saw Shubert Alley and then were torn between that and "Blithe Spirit..." Well we went in, found some pretty cheap tickets... and before we knew it the show had started. about 20 minutes into the show on stage came Angela Lansbury (which was the drawl for us to the show in the first place)... We were in shock, awe, and wonder!!! Angela Lansbury was on both of our top5 women, people to meet in life... and there she was ON THE STAGE! Right in front of us!!! The show was simply amazing! Christine Ebersole, Rupert Everett, Angela Lansbury... oyvei!!! -Well, after the show we waited... and yes! We met her and Rupert!!!

    Legendary was the word of the day. The whole day was perfect! Good weather, and fun times all around!!! And then ANGELA LANSBURY!!! -Nothing could really top that. I don't care what you say... you just can't. There are pictures on facebook of the entire experience. (there are 3 albums up so far... the 4th isn't up just because of other adjustments in my work situation).

    EVENT#3: Then that Friday the 27th my Kim took me to Longwood Gardens to see the Orchid show... without even knowing that the Orchid is my favorite flower! (She wouldn't tell me where we were going until we got there). It was again, a lovely day out, and the picture in my facebook profile is from us at the Arbor somewhere in the Gardens. (that's the album I have yet to create, but it will be up soon).

    Ch-ch-ch-changes!!!!

    I got promoted, literally overnight! not kidding. I went to sleep last Monday really upset about something, the next thing I know I'm being woken up by a phone call for an interview, going in to work, having the phone interview, and then being offered the position 3 hours later. It all happened so quickly I never even had the chance to get my brain around it. -- It was so quick that I started on Sunday of this week; I now am located in Plymouth Meeting. -I don't think I have fully gotten my head around it.
