Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself. -- George Bernard Shaw

About Me

Welcome to my 'world on the web'. It's a bit uncomfortable to 'talk about me' but here is goes ... I am so blessed! I have the world's greatest husband, a family who is crazy but loving and I am a member of an amazing acting community in Denver and the surrounding communities. I am most defined by the people I am fortunate to call my friends and family ... warm, wonderful, talented, generous, caring, witty, fun-loving, open-hearted people. WOW!!! HOW LUCKY!!! My passions are my amazing husband, Stephen, performing, laughing, crying, travel and sharing time with those I love. (AND Game Night -- BRING IT ON!!!) Also, I adore all things creative and in my daily life as a graphic designer, I have the opportunity to connect to my creativity. In the evenings and on the weekends, I am surrounded by stunning, awe inspiring actors, singers, and dancers (some of those damn people I love have all three qualities - it's NOT FAIR!!!! ... hahahaha) My life really is a gift and I thank you all for being such a part of it! THANK YOU!!! (You know who YOU are!) :) REMEMBER: Life's too short so ... Laugh often. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. And never regret anything that once made you smile! Ahhhhh ... __________________

My Interests

Hummmm .... let's see .... well several words ending in 'ing' come quickly to mind ... acting, singing, dancing, reading, laughing, camping, golfing, knitting, bowling, conversing, eating, snuggling, and kissing (my delicious husband). Now some non 'ing' interests ... documentaries, dinner parties, game nights, walking in the snow, raking the leaves into a big pile and then jumping in -- so cool! (Well as long as no dog poop is residing in the newly raked pile - hahahahaha) Swimming in the pool up in Glenwood Springs - so amazing. Watching football -- GO BRONCOS! Going to a great concert, bluegrass festival with my husband (he is a bluegrass lover) or an outdoor movie at Red Rocks. I really enjoy most everything accept sweating, weeding, eating brussel sprouts, jumping out of a plane or anything high and unstable, being chased by spiders and washing windows -- YUCK!!!

I'd like to meet:

As I am often easily 'star struck', this will list will be a bit ... well ... 'fan like' ... you know what I mean? Anyway -- people I'd like to meet ... dead or living ... William Shakespeare, Martha Stewart, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Abraham Lincoln, Katherine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Derek Jacobi, Emma Thompson, Jon Stewart, Joan of Arc, Pope John Paul II, Noah (of the Arc), Jesus Christ and everyone involved at the manger (SERIOUSLY), LAST BUT NOT LEAST ... my father. Not an easy list ... I'll probably never get the chance to meet, or have a conversation with any of them; but isn't it wonderful to dream! ... _____________________________________ layout PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE!

Waiting for Guffman, This is Spinal Tap, Best In Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration. I love to laugh so anything funny (Python, Will Farrell, Steve Martin etc) and all things romantic! When Harry Met Sally, Bridges of Madison County, you know "chick movies". I also love anything inspiring/uplifting, Freedom Writers, We Are Marshall etc. Classics ... Casa Blanca, All About Eve, etc. Let's sum it up huh? I love just about every kind of film except ... war films with a few exceptions, and westerns .... also with a few exceptions. No Rambo, or John Wayne for me. Other than that ... I am game. Stephen and I are film collectors and have a film library of more than 600 films.

Heroes:

The loving, amazing people who touch my life every day OR for a brief visit. THANK YOU!!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chardonnay in one hand ... chocolate in the other ... body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ... WHOO WHAT A RIDE!!!
