I'm a Toys R' Us Mom!! Ha!

Ha Ha! Look who's a Mommy! It was so funny because when my agency called me and told me I was booked for a Toys R' Us ad, I was like ok...either  they've got some teen issue going on or I'm a mom. Sure enough I walk in and I'm a mom! And not just any mom, my director from an off off Broadway show I was in was there with her handsome little grandsons! Never thought that I would take the Disney song "It's a Small World" seriously until I grew up and had moments like this. So here's to Toys R' Us and all of the joy they've given me throughout the years....and still do. :) ...Hey, I gotta get my Nintendo DS games from somewhere.

Tisha Campbell says "Take control of your own destiny."



You ever heard someone tell you that God speaks through people? In these times of financial crisis and frequent let downs, one has to revert back to the idea of taking control of your own destiny. This idea is not new. And is something that I'm sure we all have heard before. But sometimes, when you hear something at a certain point in your life it hits you like a ton of bricks. So, I'm sitting here at my desk feeling utterly confused and somewhat discouraged about life until I decided to pull myself out of the slump and Google Tisha Campbell (I have been watching Martin episodes on DVD non-stop lately). I've always admired this woman ever since Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors. And yes, I was a fan of her short-lived yet under-appreciated singing career (hit song "Push"). Anyhow, I look her up and mid-interview she starts to talk about the industry and how actors (especially blacks and latinos) need to pretty much be masters of the three ring circus in order to make their mark in this business....She says "Take control of your own destiny". Like I said, I heard it before, but at that moment I was reminded that I am one of those people...and I've been at it for so long. Since I was a kid I wanted to be my own master and now that I finally have that opportunity I'm curling up like those little worms you might find in your carpet...in the summertime. It's hard, it's new territory..but it's mine. Everyone, you are looking at a woman who employs herself (massage therapist), wrote and casted her own short, writes her own scripts, and books her own acting and modeling auditions (yes I am represented as well). I do a lot. I should give myself more credit but it's so hard when the result is not in your face. But, maybe it's around the corner. So, to all my true talents out there, God is next to you, faith is in your feet, and your destiny is around the corner....just keep walking. That's all we can do right now. We will see it. We will meet it someday.

God bless! And thanks Mrs. Campbell-Martin for your inspiration. I hope you get to read this one day.
