I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I am a person who loves people,dogs, riding my motorcycle,kayaking,horseback riding,living a healthy lifestyle,the outdoors,and mostly I love The Lord and the life and guidance he gives. I have been acting in theater and films for many years. I am hearing impaired but my many challenges made me a stronger person. I am an independent thinker who despises senseless rules. I don't mind rules when they are to make something safe or fair, but when they are used to controll and don't make sense, that is where the problem is. I know what I am capable of. I don't like being told I can't do something when I know I can. Give me a chance, watch me. Don't say I can't hear well enough, or I'm not perfect enough. I appreciate people who are open, honest, and good-hearted. I appreciate constructive critisism. I love a good conversation. I have a long list of acting experiences. I sing, and write songs. I can decorate cakes, bake, and I am a creative and excellent cook. I am married to a very talented and wonderful man. and have 2 pit bulls. (sweet and loving)not their names,their descriptions. I lost my sweet daughter, Crystal, at the young age of 18. I miss her terribly. She was so young, beautiful and caring. She left behind many who loved her. I was raised by a wonderful Mother. I love her totally. She is perfect in every sense of the word. (Except when I'm right and she's wrong) LOL. But I wouldn't trade her for any thing or anyone. She is the best. I am fair,unbiased person. I don't hold grudges, but if you do me wrong for a no good reason, I'll probably avoid you, which is a shame because I am a true friend who would never hurt anyone and would always be there for you. I find forgiving to be easy. Just ask. I don't seek revenge, God will handle that. He takes care of His own. And I am His own. I read the Bible daily, and am very well educated in it's teachings. I'm always ready to share. In acting, or film please don't look at me as competition,. . . look at me as someone whom you can learn from,share with, and help to be successful. I want you to be successful just as much as I want to be. It would be totally rewarding for me to help someone eles be a better actress, person or whatever. I don't try to upstage anyone. I'm just doing my best to be good. Each of us has his/her own talents. We are all unique. You are my competition in many ways of your own. Yet,we can all work together and help each other succeed. Of course, we can't all land the same lead roles. Seriously! So let's just encourage one another and be glad when one of us get's an opportunity. Life is too short for jealousy and strife. I'd rather be content with what I have than constantly trying to be better than someone eles. It is too much work and not worth it. God has made me who I am. Though there are things about me I wish I could change, as long as he sees me as he wants, that is really all that should matter. After all, He will be the one judging me in the end. I do try, in my everyday life to be one step closer to Him. Sometimes it is hard. But it is never impossible.

My Interests

Everything has some form of interest to me from religion to, health, politics, sports, animals. I love animals.

I'd like to meet:

Folks who want to know God the way I have come to know him. He helps me through every hard time, enlightens me with good times, encourages me when I need it, guides me when I'm confused, and gives me the strengh I need when I run out. I want to share the truth with all who want to hear it. Also, other folks who are hearing impaired who understand the ups and downs of that life or those who would like to know the ups and downs.Any parents who have lost a child so we can encourage each other.I'd like to meet fellow actors, actresses,directors,and editors,that work in my area in movies, TV, and Theater.And anyone eles who needs a friend who can listen.

Music:

I am a country western type and have written several songs of that nature. Rhythm and blues suite me fine. Some (not a lot) but some rap. I love rock and roll.

Movies:

Romantic, Religious, the kind that get the truth out. The kind that gets you thinking. The one that alwyas sticks in my mind is "And Justice for all" with Al Pacino. Forest Gump. Wow that is one that shows what just being innocent can do for you.

Television:

Forgive me but I love Desparate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy,Lost, Kyle XY and I loved previous series of Joan of Arcadia and Touched by an Angel. I like the CSI stuff but there's too much of that and I liked Commander in Chief. And let's not forget the comic relief, America's funniest videos, My wife and kids, According to Jim, Ugly Betty. It is my personal opinion that there is not enough Christian films out there. True to the Scriptures.

Books:

The only book I read every day is the Bible. The other stories I read are scripts that I get when I act. I like to know what is going on in the world so I read the newspaper. When I want to teach myself something I go to a book store and buy all the books I need to learn what I want to learn. Computer, photography, sign language, whatever gets my attention and desire to learn.

Heroes:

God my Father,Jesus,my husband,and my Mom.
