WELCOME TO THE BLOG

We’re here. As of 26 days ago, everything’s in storage and we’re figuring out where our jobs are going to be before we jump into a lease or a house.

A couple of things have already happened that make me think I’m not fully done with acting for this season of life.

I decided to use a staffing agency to help me get a job here, and for whatever reason (I think we know the reason), I chose to go to this staffing agency, on this day, at this time, dressed in this outfit.

Here’s how it played out: ...

It’s happening. We’re making the next move which is leading us out of Austin, but we’re not following the film world. We’re taking this time to move out of the industry and into careers that are hopefully more consistent and allow time for self.

I knew if I got out of acting that it would have to be God’s doing – so that there would be no jealousy or resentment. Thankfully, I do have peace about getting out of it, or putting it on hold if that’s what happening.

At one of my farewell get-togeth...

When I doubt whether or not acting is what God has for my life, I always go back to what God spoke to me through a pastor…

Out of nowhere, during my last year of college, I was walking on campus and this thought hit me – I want to do acting! Why am I getting my degree in Kinesiology? 

That wouldn't have been so crazy if I actually wanted to act, but I didn't. Acting was nowhere on my radar.

I had already tried acting in high school – not One Act Play, but I had an agent, went to acting classe...

 We currently live in Austin, Texas, and there’s a whole issue surrounding our state’s film incentives (or lack of) so A LOT of bigger projects are deciding to film in other states.

Other than the second season of The Son, it looks like Austin is about to have a drought – possibly a long one.

So, what does that mean for me?

Many of my actor friends have chosen to chase the work by moving to LA, Atlanta, or NY, and I’m sure more will move in the next few months. It makes sense. For my husband ...

When my husband and I got married, he suggested I stopped working so I could fully focus on acting. 

If you’re not familiar with the motion picture industry, almost everything is last minute – auditions, bookings, callbacks. You rarely have more than three days notice.

So I did. And it still isn’t easy to accept.

By choice, I don’t watch tv (it makes me feel incredibly unproductive – plus there aren’t that many shows that I think are worthwhile). I rarely watch movies but if I do, they’re usu...

It’s interesting how God speaks to us. I would have discounted this one had my mom not given me her thoughts on it. I was just telling her my dream because it was so random; I wasn’t looking for a meaning, but she effortlessly chimed in on this dream, and I’m grateful she did.

I dreamt this in May of 2016….

I was trying to push my office chair through an ‘aisle’ but there was a white fridge, or something big and fridge-like in the way so instead of bothering someone to ask if they could help m...

Recently, I was doing laundry and talking to God about what I should do for income. Currently (and thanks to my incredible, encouraging husband) I don’t have a workforce job. 

I take acting gigs as they come and my schedule stays open so that I can say ‘yes’ to every good opportunity. As God and I  were talking – this hasn’t been our first conversation about it – I felt these words and I knew it was from Him.

It was like a sentence that I had to structure together, but as soon as the words...
