In the first half of the year of 2012, I had this angst to start creating again. Life had gone back to normal. It was school then work then home. I was keeping contact with a lot of the people I met during ICF. One of the folks I kept in touch with was Tal.…
The weather is changing and I feel my life changing along with it. I feel myself changing in the most positive way. I am welcoming new adventures and the new power that I have been searching for inside of me is finally revealing itself. Last weekend was full of adventures. I did something that I…
So inner city filmmaker was over. On the night of graduation, I felt strong and inspired. Nothing was going to stop me but what was next? I went back to the toy store and back to school. I was starting my second year of college and my major was all over the place. I needed…

Patys. This is a catch-up post. Yesterday, September 20,2022 at 9:57am, my niece was born. Her name is Yasna. What a blessing she is. So many different emotions honestly, but overall, it was a special day. I met her today. She is perfect. Being an aunt has been a such blessing. It has made me…
I don’t love the way I look but I thought I’d take a photo at work for memories. Here is Frshta the charming tired server. I was closing server tonight at the restaurant. I am usually first off but my coworker wasn't feeling good. It isn't that much of a difference between being first off…
The Toy Store shoot It was shoot day! I was nervous. Working with actors can be challenging. I wanted to be a director but I was scared when the time finally came. It can be hard to find your voice in a crowd. I was lucky. I had a group of supportive folks trying to…
