What would happen with your life if you started counting yourself “in?” _____________________ As an actor, and human, I tend to see things in two ways...things that I’m ‘right’ for and things that I’m not. Because of the way I look I’m considered for certain roles over others. Because of the way I talk, sing, dance, or even just my basic energy gets me into certain audition rooms and kept out of others. _____________________ So it is only natural to take what others “see you as” and start identifying yourself in those limits. Those standards. Those boxes. _____________________ But I got to tell you...those boxes SUCK. When they are forced on us by others and even more when we force it on ourselves. _____________________ So the challenge to myself has been to start counting myself IN more. Embracing those boxes that may require a little more effort. A little more stretch. A little more discomfort. It means taking myself to creative places that I may be afraid of because it’s not what THEY see me as. _____________________ Because I have counted myself IN twice this last week and it was absolutely the scariest and most rewarding thing I have done in recent memory. _____________________ #NYCActor #NotYourAverageLeadingLady #TestTheLimits #WhatLimits
Finally put some gift cards to good use and got lost in a few bookshops today. Grabbed a few I’ve had on my constantly growing list and a few last minute “impulse” grabs. If you need me anytime soon...my nose will be in a book! #BookNerd #ForTheLoveOfBooks #NYCActor #NotYourAverageLeadingLady
How do you deal when the Universe takes the pendulum and swings it the other way? _____________________ With every high this business deals out comes a low. And a lot of times it is a doozy of a low. _____________________ To keep things real...I’ve basically been typed out of my last two auditions. Both are shows I have done. In roles I have been cast in. And I was “typed out.” _____________________ I walked out with my tail between my legs and my ego insanely bruised. Because if I didn’t acknowledge my feelings then they would bubble up later on down the road. _____________________ So as I nurse my wounds I am left with a few thoughts: _____________________ The ebb and flow of this business can either break you or make you hungry and grateful...it is your choice. _____________________ You will never be everyone’s flavor. You will always be too short/tall/blonde/brunette/too dark/not dark enough/too talented/not talented enough. It is YOUR responsibility to go into each room as an authentic representation of yourself. Because that’s what makes YOU special. _____________________ Every NO that has slapped me back, has made every single YES beyond my wildest dreams. _____________________ I’m done waiting for someone else to say I get to be in the game. It’s time to create some damn magic myself!!! _____________________ #NYCActor #NotYourAverageLeadingLady #TurningLemonsToLemoncelloMagic
