What’s up indeed.

Yeah, so I lost a lot of weight. And in the process I lost my damn mind.

You noticed the new website name. Mmm hmm. After ten years of being versions of the me I wished I could be, I decided to finally become her.

WHAT?

Step 1. The weight loss. Down 100 pounds exactly since after Avie was born.

With the weight loss came the confidence to start putting myself first. Just a bit each day. The daily gym visits. The new wardrobe. The tattoos. The piercings.  The clothing. We’ll get to those in a sec. Putting any and all career moves on hold until… dunno… I guess when the little kids start preschool. *shrugs*

I’ve spent two years of my life totally stressed out over Hollywood. The first deal. The second deal. The crap. Oh, totally grateful I got as far as I did. But it took the life out of me. It was a stress to my family. My health. My self esteem. It really messed with my head.

So I took a break. Let’s put it that way.A break. Cuz it’s the only way I understand. I’m on a hiatus from the outside world right now. I’m loving my kids. I’m digging my husband. I’m  having adventures.  Be happy for me. This is just what I want and need right now. I feel ALIVE!!!!!!!

Still doing voice overs. Actually doing really well with that. I’m developing a podcast. No pay. No recognition. Just focusing on doing what I love. Just because. Just because it feels good.

A dog. Got a dog. Always wanted a dog. The right dog. One that totally fit into this family. She’s a 3 year old Pug from a rescue org. Mugsy. Such a love.

And the fashion! Oh honey. The fashion. I’ve got a whole new look. The Betty Bangs. The hair flowers. The twirly dresses. The ridiculous sexy shoes. Pin up meets rockabilly. Goes really well with all the body mods. The double nose piercing. The spider calf tattoo. The dragon sleeve in progress.  And I’m just getting started.

You could call it a mid life crisis.

I call it mid life celebration.
