✅ Accepted Into Competitive Acting Program ✅ Wrote Original Monologue For Program ✅ HUGE Audition Taped Today ✅ New Audition Sent To Me Today ✅ Began My Autobiography Book Outline ✅ Enrolled In Improv Class In May . Decided this time last year to ask the universe for ONE thing... . "Universe, send me the tools to build a career around simply being myself!" . Did a magic fairy wave a wand at my universe plea? HELL NO! . Instead, I've put myself into drive and pushed the pedal to 88 miles per hour. . The power is within YOU. It is NEVER too late to push yourself towards your passions. . Stop thinking inside your comfort zone radius. . It is NEVER going to be the best timing. . You will ALWAYS regret what you never did. . This worse result IS failure...And that's OK! . Give yourself permission to get out of your own damn way. . #actor #audition #selftape #castingdirector #autoimmunedisease #autobiography #publicspeaker #author #permission #dreambig #universe #monologue #methodacting #actress #writing #giveyourselfpermission #improv #manifest #tools #talent #ihaveadream #whynotyou #happytime #covid19 #opportunities #noexcuses #nowplaying #doityourself #justgoshoot #ptsd https://www.instagram.com/p/B_YRNi7jpur/?igshid=1s80k66lgqyr8

If you have a dream, you can achieve it. I posted this 8 months (June '17) before I worked as an extra (for the first time) on a TV pilot. Never believing I would actually be an actor. Fast forward to spring '19 when I booked my first on camera job. By June '19, I was signed by an agent. By October '19 (right now) I've been booked for a dozen roles. Added bonus: I've launched a podcast, began writing lyrics, started writing articles, short stories, and working towards a book. I stumbled upon a creative door deep in my brain I didn't know existed. #dreambig #seattleactor #commercialactor #sagaftra #actorlife #hollywood #risingstar #happyplace #levelup #achieve #yesterday #news #blogger #blog #author #musician #visionary #justsayyes #podcast #radio #djs #emptynest #universe #manifest #destiny #life #hiddentalent #create https://www.instagram.com/p/B36hZStldfL/?igshid=1cpjd242zh1ar

Getting proper rest is putting yourself first too. Although we shouldn't need to schedule our daily sleeping hours, our society has created the necessity. Current generations never initiated by a rooster for a hard day of manual labor, dictating the body's response to properly recoup. Go faster and longer has replaced we rest on day seven. We've almost convinced ourselves we're not enough if we need to sleep. Others can go on only 4 hours. So why do I need 10? I must be defective. No...You're human! . . . #schedule #rest #relax #repeat #society #youare #sleep #rooster #recoup #meditation #dalia #lama #yearofmemovement

I'm ready to feel alive again. My deadness inside echos waves of hope. Why can't I be alive? Am I dead by choice? Or did my circumstances kill me? I scream in shame. Cry in my sleep. When did I bite the apple? Did I only bite an apple or did I die in my sleep? I can't feel the sheets protecting me. It's like I'm 6 feet deep. How can I escape my ultimate fate? Do I kick & scream while paralyzed so deep? I can't even feel my feet. When is it my time to shine? Forever under the tree of darkness. Fighting to win but hit with rejection. Not by you but by me. Me rejecting myself. Never feeling good enough. Always driven to impress others but never myself. My reflection always warping worth. ------------------------------------------------ I wrote the above one late night while in a dark place. I've accepted everyday offering me varied levels of functioning, wrapped in an invisible sheath of saturating depression. I struggle to break out of an inner straight-jacket without breaking a sweat because depression tells you to hide your struggle. But what I finally refused to to accept and obey was Depression's rules. Who is Depression to tell me what the fuck to do? I don't allow anyone else in this world to boss me around. So one day I screamed,  “I'm mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” (from the movie Network) I screamed it over, over & over. I continue to scream it daily. Some days more than others. But even more important than myself facing the Devil himself, is YOU slaying him. YOU making Him fall to His knees and begging you for mercy. This is why I posted this. FOR YOU TO BREAK FREE FROM YOUR CAPTOR. I believe in YOU! I need you to know you're NOT alone, even when depression tells you otherwise. Depression is the most abusive relationship there is. Depression does NOT define YOU. Depression does NOT control YOU. You CAN rip the sheath, chains, bars or cuffs off. It will not be easy. You should seek professional help. There is no shame in therapy or medication.

Buy yourself flowers! I had a very crazy day. Got stuck in a freakish snow storm, 2 hours & multiple attempts to finally strap chains on, to ultimately be turned around and drive home. Getting home safely was the number one priority. With the storm cancelling my plans tonight & tomorrow, I ended up needing a few grocery items, since I had planned to be gone. While there I passed "clearance priced" flowers. A few sad old bouquets sat there. I decided to turn their pending doom into something beautiful, by creating one beautiful set to be enjoyed. I couldn't let this day win. Self care is so vital to our happiness. My day began stressful & a little scary but I took control back by creating beauty from something likely to be thrown away at close of business. I bought myself roses to literally stop and smell for my now unwritten weekend. Sometimes you've got to buy yourself flowers. Remember this next time life turns a little upside down.

Call Me Crazy But... Watching someone else soar, genuinely makes me happy. Strangers, Acquaintances, Friends or even a Fictional Character. If something great happens in their lives, I feel true joy. I believe it derives from me being an Empath and possibly (in part) just who I am. It also ties into my drive to help others. Whether I'm volunteering or holding a door open or freely sharing chapters of my life's journey like most recently about the organic development of the #yearofmemovement and my obsession with Phytonutrients. If you haven't already heard of Phytonutrients, be prepared for your world to be rocked like mine is. I truly can't believe how much they've changed & saved my life. Now I'm the one soaring and I couldn't be happier.

Good luck comes in 3s...so getting 3 fortunes in my cookie today tells me something big is coming. #1 - You will win favors when you expand your social circle. #2 - You will have a chance soon to make a profitable transaction. #3 - It is time to help a friend in need. Ironically today's fortunes only reconfirmed I'm growing in the right directions. Believe it or not, I already love meeting new people, I'm fiscally sound and I can truly help you in your journey. I'm actually driven to help. It's what gets me put of bed everyday. To #HELP in anyway I can. Help others find their healthiest. Help others find their true happiness again. Help others set, meet & obtain goals. That's what I do...and I'm pretty darn good at it too. Are you ready to find your drive? It doesn't take a lucky-random-tripled-fortune-cookie to tell me where I need to be. So there is no need to seek a four-leaved-clover or a rainbow's pot-of-gold to decide it's your time.

Always makes your ego perk up when you show up for a parent-teacher meeting at the high school and 3 teachers don't believe you've got high schoolers. They literally argued with me that I couldn't be old enough to biologically be their mom. I joked #oilofolay makes my skin look younger and they said I should do a commercial for them because at almost 43 #oilofolay must work like magic. But I'm guessing it's eating clean and the right supplements. Ask me what I use. . . . #oilofolay #skincare #putmeinacommercial #oldladyskin #skinmagic #oilofolayismagic #oilofolayprofessional #modelskin #freshface #eatingclean #ashakeologyaday #itswhatyoueat #takecareofyourinside #insideequalsoutside #healthylifestyle #be40look30 #40isthenew20 #bethebestyou #yearofmemovement

Lap-top-dog! Working from home with 2 two dogs trapping me on the couch, two teenage boys (who literally bent in pretzles to stay out of the shot) to my right, #lizakoshy YouTube on (she's HILARIOUS), I'm still in my PJs, on 1st cup but 3rd reheat coffee and working on a personal development project for 2018.
