It's sunny outside, the weather is warm, I am energized, refreshed, grateful, excited. This is after over a week of gloom and rain, metaphorically speaking it couldn't be more perfect. This week has brought about a massive amount of change. Consolidated. In your face. The kind of change that even someone like me who loves change, has to pep talk her way through it. Truthfully speaking, like all extremely hard things in my life, God got me through. I've experienced extreme lows and highs. Outpouring of support from fans, friends, and family. I will never be the same.
Amidst this process I have been enlightened to dreams I didn't know I had, to possibilities I hadn't seen before. To things that are now my new life's path. I am alive.
The first section of my life was about survival. The second section about me finding and expressing myself through the arts and my talents. This new phase is about the world.
Listen, I'm not out of the woods yet. I've had major unexpected financial things come up, (a move, parking tickets, ding in my windshield, medical & vet expenses, people I trusted and thought were on my team try to take advantage of me) some of these are still pending.. Sometimes I get scared and it hurts but I've also been extremely blessed. To be honest the only reason I am mentioning this to begin with is because I want you to know I'm a real person. A human being, making my way through this world, trying to be the best I can. Any hints of greatness come from something much higher than me, I call it God.
Please know I am not here to blog about religion, I am not religious. I am simply sharing with you this amazing wonderful metamorphosis I have experienced and the joy I have to be able to step into it TODAY. I dream of being a millionaire on the "Secret Millionaire" show. Until that day comes I will take cues from my mentors Oprah, Neale Donald Walsch, Rhonda Byrne, Robert & Kim Kiyosaki, God... and I will go out and make it happen. It started with making more donations and tonight/tomorrow night I start in deed.
If you are reading this right now, have connected with me at any of the social networks I use, thank you. I can't even begin to express how much I appreciate you. I really do carry you in my heart. This is my longest and my second most personal blog to date. I hope to continue to interest you. May you have a blessed and productive day. You are amazing.
Cheers to all of us, living out our dreams.

Feeling The Love
80's hits pump through my iPhone / Hi Fi system, filled with love as I sit at my home office desk. I just shared something BIG on facebook & it feels so good. I'm married!!!
I am so blessed to have a wonderful man in my life and it feels great to share it with all of you.
As a female in the Entertainment Industry, I've wondered about how much I should share... To be completely honest, I've worried. But the more I grow I realize that the beauty is in the fullest truth. I have heard that the best marketing attracts what you want and repels what you don't want. This statement has been profound for me. As I have applied this philosophy to my business and my life any doubts I may have had have melted away.
Life is too short. Let's celebrate every minute, every victory, every person that shows us love, every circumstance that allows us to be our highest self. I am so grateful to have quite a few of these things, and if I may be completely honest, one of the greatest has been my husband Tony.
So if I may take a minute, Tony I love you. Thank you for being my best friend and soul mate. Thank you for being my partner every minute. I am honored to be your wife and I look forward to making you proud the rest of our lives.
Cheers to love, life, and being our fullest selves. Have a great day!

Introducing.... photographer Christin Rose
My darlings, I can't decide what brings me greater joy. Seeing others around me succeed, or making introductions that can foster success. Really, I feel humbled and grateful every time. With that said, it brings me great pleasure to introduce photographer Christin Rose. I will now turn it over to her so you can see why she's so great.
Christin:
"The new year brought a lot of changes for me. I resigned at the commercial photo agency I had been working at for a couple years to pursue my dreams of being a photographer and also work as a freelancer at a print production company."
"What started as something I liked in high school, pursued in college, and continued to do after graduating has turned into something much, much more; a passion and a dream. In short, photography has basically taken over my life. : ) I've "cannon-balled" into building this business and I just can't look back now."
"Along with weddings, I also shoot portraits, lifestyle, musicians, families & anything else that might make a beautiful picture."
"If you have a second to check out my work...you can go to these links:"
*My blog (has everything that I've been working on): http://christinrose.com/blog/
*And my main wedding site is here: http://www.christinrose.com/
"While I normally shoot in California & Oregon - I am able to travel anywhere and would appreciate you passing my info along to anyone you might know that's getting married."
"Thanks so much for taking the time!!
Blue Skies,"

How cool is she?! How great are her pictures! I am certain anyone looking for a photographer would love to work with her and to that I say, go Christin, go!
With love... Tee

Mother Nature, you rock my socks!
Hello lovies, how are you? What's been going on? Things here have been amazing. Really amazing. This weekend in Los Angeles California, I experienced sun, clouds, rain, rainbows, and snow! It was magnificent.
I love nature! I love the elements and watching them do their thing. It really brings me a lot of joy and peace. I also love technology. All the photos you see here were taken with my iPhone 3GS (so excited for the white iPhone 4 to be released) I think my fellow techies would also appreciate that these pics were not edited or modified at all either! Love, love, love, being out and being able to capture all this beauty and share it with you.
I hope you had a great weekend too and are having a fabulous week! You are always with me, even if we're miles away.....

Lucky? This doesn't feel lucky.. Actor tales
Rainy day in L.A. Things move slower when this happens, this is an actual truth not myth. Had an audition today. Good stuff. I was looking forward to it. Got up got ready got out. Arrived, signed in, and waited.... after an hour's time elapsed, I finally left to find my "lucky charm"
Bunko. : /
Well see how lucky my charm really is.. when I confirm booking the spot! LOL Right now, I'm happy to be inside typing away from my home office, listening to the rain outside my window. Believe me also when I say that Saturday and Sunday's arrivals are welcome ones.
This will be the second parking ticket I've gotten while out on audition. I mention this for any other business artists that are interested in true finacial calculations. These unexpected expenses do add up. Factor in the cost of agency fees, training, marketing materials, memberships, etc. It is important to watch your bottom line. It also does reflect a truth. This path is far from a get rich quick, "Cribs" style MTV extravaganza. There's a reason why sage advisors recommend strongly coming into this only if you really love it.
Another day in the life right?? :) All we can do is our best. As for this parking ticket myth, let's see.. I'll keep you posted. ;)

I'm an Actor part deux...
So last night I posted my 1st blog on acting and my overall outlook. Today's post on acting has to do with a very real side effect which is the "mobile office" "conference space" "dressing room" need I go on??? On a normal day this is what I'm working with...
But today I had 3 auditions which lead to 3 appointments, casting offices, & looks. There was backyard BBQ, red carpet host, and then gamer (as in video gamer). So, what's a pro to do?
You make it happen.
Hence I found myself rolling around town, enjoying the sights and the opportunity to play and connect with my fellow actor and the casting directors.
*For anyone that is new to Acting, auditioning, or just new to auditioning regularly, plan it out. Map your routes, have your changes, scripts, head shots ready. If your new to Los Angeles especially. Leave time to arrive, locate, and park. If there is a specific question or comment I'd love to hear it. This helps me know what you guys wanna hear or could benefit hearing about! *shrugs..
**& in a totally unrelated yet totally related note, I happen to be listening to this ultra delicious audio sampling. You'd be foolish not to listen to this song!
Thanks for spending this moment in time with me, xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Your job is to do what??? I'm an Actor.
Heyo!! LOL If you know where that comes from and comment it, you will get a prize. For now though, I can't help but chuckle... Heyo!! LOL Here we go.
I had asked a few friends via facebook whether or not I should blog actor tales and after a resounding yes, here we are, my first one. As an Actor, there are many stages of victory and or defeat. Like anything else, your outlook will determine a lot of your success and or failure or at least that is what my experience has taught me... Then again, one could argue that even our experiences are dictated to ourselves by ourselves via the subconscious. So what about acting? Well....
I tend to take the glass half full approach and am currently experiencing what I categorize as wins.
1. My Commercial / Print Agency is absolute genius for me. I feel so at home with them and they work so well for me. I do alot of auditioning with them and am glad to have such a perfect fit.
2. My Management has been awesome. I've gotten a few audition calls from them recently which has been a cool bonus.
3. Auditions have been a blast! Whether improv, voice over, script memorization, reactions, or just a "look", I been having such a good time. :D I also feel like I'm getting to know some of these casting directors and some of my fellow actors.
Tomorrow I have 3 auditions to look forward to. Today I had 2. The other day was the first time I'd had auditions scheduled I didn't really want to go to. After going and then hearing a Casting Director complaining, I shrugged it off and figured I had just had an off day. Low and behold, I got a call back and hold from that audition!
What I have been taking from these experiences is a real "seize the day" approach to life. Not only when I'm in the room auditioning and scheduling auditions throughout my day but also when I am not auditioning or "off". It's been really great. Hence all the nature & uplifting blogs below.. :)
Anyway, this is a snapshot into my life as an Actor, cheers to success for us all and joy along the way.
