Day 10 - Jelani Remy I'm finishing up video work for my friend Jelani Remy. I met him at a leadership camp when he was 13. He was dancing every time he had the chance. He is now on Broadway playing Simba in The Lion King. He is the definition of "hard worker." He threw a benefit show last month at Cedar Grove High School (his alma mater) and I filmed it. I want to thank him for reminding me to never give up on my dreams as an artist. #thanksjelani #jelaniremy #thelionking #perseverance

The Do Gooda Project #2 - Give a Stranger a Little Smiling Inspiring Note This project is super simple and free. Write a note to give to a stranger. Write something light and ridiculous that will hopefully making the person smile. I’ll be writing something along the lines of “Dear Wonderful Person, This note has a goal. The goal is to make you smile like a darn fool. This note has eyes and can see you smiling. Just kidding about the eyes. That’s creepy, but hopefully you are smiling now. Feel free to give this note to someone you want to make smile like a darn fool. Have the best day!” Or you can do something a simple as a smiley face and text that says “I hope this makes you smile.” Give it to a passerby who you think might need it and walk away. #thedogoodaproject #randomactsofkindness

Day 7 - Homemade Onion Cabbage Soup @therealjoannaburns wanted to use up what we had in our fridge today. We had a head of cabbage and onions...and she found a recipe. She made the soup and I made croutons from French bread I made with the help of the bread machine. We made enough for 10 people. Haha! #onions #cabbage #tootsoup #cheese #project365 #photooftheday

Day 5 - The (Original) Parent Trap I introduced my niece to the original Parent Trap today. Watching it as an adult I have one question...why does the twin from Boston have a British accent when her mother has an Irish brogue? #theparenttrap #letsgettogether #photooftheday #project365

Day 1 - Starting the Year Off with a Gamstagram I think this is a perfect way to start photo of the day. My Gam reading, what she calls, "a nice murder" by a nice fire. Also, good news...I have a new phone so photo of the day is back in full effect. I'm hoping everyone will welcome me back with open arms. #year6 #project365 #photooftheday #gamstagram

The John Williams Concert last night was a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can't see much in this video, but I wanted to share it anyway. We got to see a living legend. The rest of the weekend consisted of touring beautiful Guilded mansions in the Berkshires with the wonderful @therealjoannaburns
