Morning Mash-ups – How to trust yourself

Morning Mashup - How to trust yourself Morning mash-ups start with me usually not knowing what I am going to talk about, just like this one.  I try to relax and allow myself to receive whatever it is I need to write about or share and then just let it flow.  With that being said, let's talk about allowing, trusting, and breathing.  How to trust  yourself - If we can get out of our way, it begins … [Read more...] about Morning Mash-ups – How to trust yourself

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

No. You don’t have to have acting class to succ No.  You don’t have to have acting class to succeed….. BUT…. Acting class isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s where you sharpen your craft, learn a shared vocabulary, and build skills to speak the same language as your peers. Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
