Being authentic means saying no to things you don’t want to do. Sometimes, you don’t have this power. So when you get it, you are careful to use it. Today, I called up the writer of a play who had offered me a part and turned it down. I read the script and I was…
Dearest Bea, Do you remember when I took you to Santa Monica Pier? There was this carnival booth with stuffed toys to win. You wanted one. I remember, you had to aim water into a little hole consistently in order to win. I told you I could do this…and I did. You chose the stuffed…
I hope President Trump continues to act more diplomatically. He seemed to handle himself pretty well today. I am concerned that he seems to be a “loose cannon.” This is not reality tv. This is REAL life. He is now the President of the United States. It does make me nervous that he’s so close…
Stevie Nicks wrote this song after she joined Fleetwood Mac. She was lonely and feeling like she did not have a friend. Fame isn’t everything she had hoped for. Now, she wishes that someone knew her for who she really is, not who they want her to be. Seemed like an appropriate song to go…

I hope to film each scene and splice the clips into iMovie. Then, we’ll show off the movie during three different assemblies. I’m hoping I can get…
As it is Dr. Kings birthday, I like to celebrate by listening to music and watching films about the Civil Rights movement. It just takes one person who refuses to get out of the way on injustice to inspire others to do the same. Rosa Parks refused to get out of her seat on a…
I decided to take myself out to Barstow Outlets to do some shopping and to have dinner. I bought some cute plaid rain boots from Ugg. Wouldn’t Middle brother’s wife be jealous? I also bought some pants for school and something for one of you.? I can’t help it sometimes. It helps me feel closer…
