It has always been a goal of mine, to effectively utilize all of my diverse talents, to develop a few more, and to use them for the greater good. As a small child, at four years old, I knew that I wanted to dance. I was told that I would need to wait to learn, until I was eighteen years of age. As I grew up, it became obvious that I loved drama. I definitely wanted to be an actress. I had a knack for writing, and fashion design. As singing was the only thing which I was allowed to do, I sang. I sang in as many choirs, receiving many awards, as I possibly could. At age eighteen, I was given a summer scholarship to the Summer School of the Arts, for singing, and a gold medal for being part of the best highschool choir out of the United States of America. It made me aware that singing was something I felt I was meant to do. I also dreamt of composing music. I therefore, went to college to learn how to sing, dance, act, and learn. In the process I also studied philosophy, fine arts, P.E., and sustainable community. Over time, I realized that my main goal was to help promote the acceptance of all different types of people, through anything that I do professionally.      Since then, I have been an actor, a journalist, a dance teacher, and a personal assistant executive. Presently, I am in the process of writing two books. I also just began what hopefully will be my last year of vocal training, that is leading up to, being a singer. Training always continues. This is the year that I have been waiting for, and of course, the next.

In addition, my education and experience includes five years of college dance classes, six years of body conditioning courses, ten plays and musicals, including two of which were traveling shows, ATP (Actors Training Program), and modeling for a hair advertisement campaign.

Just as we seek liberty, freedom, and justice for all, so too should we allow ourselves and eachother the will to follow our dreams. Dreams are made out of choices. Wherein lies the possibilities, which may be born from various belief structures. Through acceptance of eachothers' differences, we may agree to disagree. In following love, through respect of opposing view points one on one with each other, nation to nation, religion to religion, we as a people can give democracy to ourselves and each other. When not respecting each other's choice to be any different than ourselves, we deny the innate freedom to believe and to strive in our own paths, negating what America stands for. In giving one may receive. Love is peaceful and never violent. Differences and freedom of choice should be respected only when non violent and peaceful. -Copyright Kat 2007, 2008-

What do I love? I love trains, things that glitter, the suns' rays on my skin, the stars in a beautiful dark blue sky, trees silhouette next to the moon (in my line of sight), (ever so much) letters, writing them and receiving them, shoes, singing, dancing, hugging, Bar-B-Q chicken, Chinese food with sweet and sour sauce, Tai food, Tai tea, coffee in the morning, antique dolls, unique dolls, learning about different cultures, reading about science, reading classic literature, being in the library, bookstores, the smell of coffee, the smell of a book, hiking, cats with personality, compliments that are earnest and sincere, rubies-honestly, victorian style costumes and furniture, a rare glass of champagne, creating performance art to my best ability, whenever I can do well enough to not feel the need to criticise myself, phone calls from friends, good china, my Dock Martins, my Pink Converse, the saxaphone, the blues, being able to technically understand how singers are doing what they do when I hear them, God, my cat Blondie, my Mom, my dear freinds, my step sister, achieving a good challenge, the tunes in my head, a few memories, and being alive.

     

Huge dreams can seem impossible to reach. Find the small dreams. As each one is accomplished, they will pave the way to the bigger dreams.

When one reaches the top, a person can be unhappy still. Because it is ones' life other than success, where happiness is found. Finding joy and fullness in day to day moments, friendships, and family, is something that can be built along the way. Then when one reaches success, they will not find that they are truly empty handed. A full life is where the heart is. It is not in things, status, or money, but in what is underneath all of that. When it is all stripped away, it is what is left. Money can be the icing on the cake. But what really matters is love, truth, friendship with ones own soul, peace inside and out, and where the heart is. Small dreams...

I'm a survivor. In amongst working to achieve small and big dreams, has been challenges and growth. Life has not been easy, far from it. Those who know what I have been up against, and what it is that I face now, some have told me that they think I am so strong, whilst others tell me to give up. The naysayers have followed me around in each chapter of my life. One thing that I face, is the possibility of the loss of a dream, my dream of dance. I did take lessons and dance for all of fifteen years. But over the last few years, a disability that I had fought to overcome, finally got the best of me. After three thousand pounds fell on my back, it has been a dramatic shift in my body and my life. I tried to keep going as best I could. I have not been able to dance much at all for a few years now. I will not give up. But what I do have, is what I have been working on for so many years, singing.

I have wanted to be a performer since I was a little girl. I have studied bios of other people who I admired, as I was growing up, to learn from them. I have fought poverty, violence, and my own mistakes. I have changed, adapting myself, because of lessons learned the hard way, and continued on. I will never stop working towards my goals, even if I never reach my dreams. But I am going to give it my all. Sacrifices that have made no sense to others, have been the way for me, one step at a time, to reach toward that dream.

What step I am on now, is working towards my first C.D. In the beginning of 2009, I chose twelve drafts of my original songs. By September 2010 or September 2011, is a goal of finishing them.

Over time, I've written what I thought was 150 songs, and one opera. Now as I've gone over the drafts, and furthered my studies, I found that there are less of them that I like then I had previously thought. But there are several. The opera and the songs, are unfinished. They are ideas, that need to be completed. This came about through many years of great sacrifice.

The writing that I have been working on is one poetry book and one semi autobiography. The poetry book is close to being done. I hope to finish it and publish it by January 2010.

I will update this information periodically, as the journey progresses.
