THERE IS NO KEY TO HAPPINESS..THE DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN, COME ON IN!

About Me

I am in Love With Life. I love people. I wake up every day as if it's my first and live every day as if it's my last. Every day is worth celebrating just for waking up, I guess you could say I'm just happy to be a part of it all. I'm so grateful. I'm a bit chirpy and can be annoying in the morning but I figure it's better than waking up being a grumpmeister, so deal with it! LOL! I grew up In South Florida but moved to Los Angeles when I was 18 to study acting with a master, Jeff Corey . I have been an actress since 19, and still love my profession. I feel Blessed to do what I love. Although I have performed many roles in Prime time television and TV movies, I've proudly spent 26 years on Soap Operas, most notably as "Lindsay Rappaport" on One Life to Live . I have also been living in NYC for the past 16 years, and studied opera to fulfill my lifelong dream of starring in a Broadway musical which came true when I played "Fantine" in Les Miserables . Anyway, all that is career talk, blah blah blah. I am proud of the talents God gave me (all Glory goes to Him) but am concurrrently working hard, and simultaneously being still in my heart and listening and watching for the cues of my TRUE PURPOSE here. Performing is the way I make my living (I am so grateful!) but know there is more to it all. I believe that though life has it's peaks and valleys, it is meant to be lived fun, lovingly, joyously, but most of all, gently. So please, Be gentle with yourselves as well as others. Weird fact: Italian is my second language..I lived in Rome for 2 years! (That was a big and very important pause in my life) I am finishing up a book on How to heal a broken heart. I know it sounds like an oxymoron, but it's been a labor of love. THE 30 DAY HEARTBREAK CURE, is being published by Simon and Schuster and is due out later this year. I will be on a book tour upon it's release, and hope to meet as many of you as I can...what a dream!
About my company:

I am so Blessed to have my beloved Gillion to help me sail this ship. (see her below in my "friend" section) Thanks Gill!! NUTHIN' does what this stuff does!

My Interests

Animals Rights. People Rights. Helping every woman to find her inner and outer beauty. Loving. Writing. Speaking, Acting, Singing (every now and then) Healing, Magic. PEOPLE. LOVE. That's what I'm interested in.

I'd like to meet:

Joel Osteen, whose book YOUR BEST LIFE NOW inspired me greatly during a darkened hour It's the book that reignited my passion and love affair with God. He also inpsired me to write my book. COMING OUT FALL 2008 FROM SIMON AND SCHUSTER! Yay! Thank you God!! Dr. Phil (another author I admire) His wife Robin, and OPRAH (who brings us the best of whatssssuuup out there)

Music:

I am all over the place with music right now, but I look for something to get me going in the morning and lay me down at night. Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Tony MacLaren, Martina Mcbride, Shania Twain. I think my first love in music is country music, and nothing beats good love ballad. There's always a great story in every song. Lately I've been listening to everything from rock to new Age.

Movies:

Whats that? I haven't been to a movie in a theatre since JAWS. Someone... get me to a movie...stat!

Television:

"ONE LIFE TO LIVE" I watched it for a decade before I was on it! It is a great honor to be on a show with such a talented cast and crew. "Dancing with the stars" "American Idol" I love to watch people achieving their personal best. it's a great inspiration to the rest of us... Let's go for it!

Books:

YOU'RE BEST LIFE NOW (Joel Osteen) YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE (Louise Hay) "The Secret Life of Houdini" (The making of Americas first super hero) by William Kalush and Larry Sloman. and Being a girl who loves and supports the conjuring arts, I loved it.

Heroes:

Mothers. Mothers are my heroes. Single mothers go to the front of the line, and Mothers with special needs children are really up there with me. What an act of courage and Faith to have a child and take that on. I just admire that so much.And last but not least..Jesus Christ, who is my agent, my manager, my co-pilot, and architect of my beautiful life. ALL GLORY TO HIM... FOR SUCH A TIME IS THIS!..
