Thank you!

In the spirit of one of the most enjoyable holidays in my personal opinion I would like to talk about some of the things I am most thankful for at this time in my life.

#1). My family

I am really lucky to have such a wonderful, loving and supportive family. And I say lucky because you cant choose your family so, man am I lucky to have landed this one! We are all slightly weird, we like to break into sporadic sparring matches if we ever cross paths in the kitchen and we all answer the phone in a loud sing song-y voice that goes something like this "HI-IIIIIEEEEEE!!!!". But besides that, the four of us couldn't be more different from one another.

My mother is a genius. I'm not kidding, this woman knows more about everything and anything than anyone I know. She was a teacher for 32 years as well as a Vice Principle and she also specialized in gifted education. She is now almost finished writing a book and plans to write another one. who needs an encyclopedia when you have her for a mother? My mom is my savior in so many ways. She helps me out whenever I need it (a lot)  and she always knows exactly what to say when I'm feeling down and out. Not because she knows what I want to hear but because her words have such honest wisdom behind them. She is a woman of true grit. In all honesty I would be lost without my mom. Isn't she beautiful?

My Father is a lumber salesman by day and a painter by night. If you want to find my Dad, he's usually tucked away in the garage where he has an art studio. He is the kind of man who would do absolutely anything for his wife and daughters, even though he always used to joke that he would trade us in for a boy if we misbehaved. My father is a really strong man. Things that would in a lot of cases break an individual has made him stronger and I admire him for that. My Dad is very artistic, compassionate and funny. It's near impossible for him to refrain from making a lame joke if it's relevant. For those who know me, I've clearly inherited that quality. I definitely have it in me.........that's what she said.

My sister is quite a character. She is bubbly, creative, nurturing, fun and can imitate just about any accent. I don't mean to sound biased but she is the most talented makeup artist in the city. She has a serious eye for beauty and can bring it out in anyone. Ever since we were little kids, every time I had a friend over she would give us makeovers. We would go into the room looking 7 years old and come out looking like 25 year old call girls.  Born to be! I am thankful for having such a cool sister:)

So yep, that about sums up my family. We go together in perfect harmony:) I am SO thankful for them.

#2) Dan

Dan and I have been together for over three years now although we can't really remember when our anniversary is...? In the very beginning my friends and I used to call him A.D.D ( accidentally dating Dan) because he came along at a time in my life when I wanted nothing more than to be single. It turned out to be a happy accident because Dan is one of the very best men that I have ever met in my life.

 Dan is a mans man. He is a master when it comes to camping,  cooking up gourmet meals on a fire like a pro and can chop wood like a lumberjack  He is naturally athletic and excels at every single sport (swoon)
Dan loves dogs and spends most of his spare time playing guitar. He also has a borderline unhealthy obsession with Slash. No joke, we went to see slash in concert and I have NEVER seen someone so excited in my life. Oops, I almost forgot to mention that he is becoming a firefighter....giggity giggity alright!

I look up to Dan because he just seems to have things figured out. He's always so relaxed and easy going. The only thing that really seems to get him worked up is rush hour and bad drivers. He's hard working, he knows exactly what he wants and above all. he treats me like gold. I can honestly say that he has never ONCE been an asshole to me. Not even when I'm being ridiculous.
I must admit that I sometimes take for granted the fact that I have a really great guy. I'm a lucky lady.

#3) The True Heroines

Ever since Myself and my three great Friends Joel, Fiona, and Jovanna hatched what used to be just a dream to bridge the gap between stage and screen, The True Heroines has been such an important part of my life. Now with an entire team of 7 talented people, The True Heroines is a web series which is in the works to becoming a one hour television pilot. We also have a live companion show in which the colorful characters of the series sing and dance for you on stage.(tasteful yet scantily clad) The gap has been bridged!
Being a part of this amazing project has taught me valuable lessons such as teamwork, diligence, patience and faith. We have created for ourselves an outlet to continuously do what we love. I have proof that hard work really does pay off.. I have nothing but great faith in this love child of ours but whatever the outcome may be, whether The True Heroines is the next hit T.V series or the next hit Web series, I am loving the journey and that, after all is the most important part.
