And she (finally!) BOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm shooting the Mountain Dew commercial next week!!!! Helloooooo Mr. Taft-Hartley :) I got the call from Tracy at Francine Selkirk's office today, I have a fitting on Tuesday and I shoot Wednesday or Thursday or both. Only thing is I am soooo sick! It started yesterday and it's only getting worse. My voice is just about gone and actually when I talked to Tracy she said she had the same thing last week. I guess it's my own fault...I haven't been taking great care of myself lately, but that is changin!!

I had a photo shoot today for Let's Talk with the fabulous Fernando Escovar. He was a very cool guy and has shot so many celebs from David Beckham to Eva Mendez to Shaq to Carmen Electra...and the list goes on. We were there to take some promo pictures, including a shot for the DVD cover. Ok, let me just say that Fernando is AMAZING. I am truly not the most photogenic woman in the world but these pictures were HOT!! Of course it helps that my co-star is a ridiculously handsome man :) I soooo wish I could post some here, but I have to wait until the film is released....but trust me they are really, really cool! I can't say enough about how beautiful this project has been. Michelle, the director/writer/prod, is truly one of the most amazing people I've met since moving here. I'm very thankful that she chose me to be a part of this project.

After being out and about all day, I make it home and it's pretty clear that my condition is worsening. I was all set to take my zinc and my airborne, drink my tea and get to bed when I got a very nice surprise. One of my friends brought over what has to be THE nicest, sweetest care package I have ever received. It had everything you could have asked for and much more...lol. From water, soup and oj to hand sanitizer, chapstick and a loofah...and sooo much in between...crazy right!? It was such a beautiful act of thoughtfulness, the likes of which I have not seen in a very, very long time. And it was such a blessing to experience because sometimes you can almost forget that this kind of behavior exists. We can get so used to the triflin people of the world that it can almost seem like kindness and caring are just some kind of urban legend. But no...it exists. There are good people out there who treat others with respect and kindness and compassion, and who truly practice "do unto others"...and we do not and should not ever settle for anything less. Thank you God for allowing me to experience this small act of kindness, which meant so much more. My mama would call it "a light in a dreary land".

And while I'm on the subject of God, can I just take a moment to say how AWESOME God is in my life. I mean really, really amazing. I am constantly in awe of His presence in my life. I am in awe of His love for me. I am thankful that he sticks closer than any brother. I am grateful that no matter what you go through and how you mess up that he says "Lo, I will be with you ALWAYS, even until the end of the earth". I am sooo thankful that in the midst of it all God will hold your hand, and bring you through and not let you fall and encourage you. I am thankful that for some crazy reason He chooses to bless me and grant me favor. I love and adore Him for who he is in my life. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that EVERY good thing that has come my way has been a blessing from God, and every bad thing will eventually work out for my good. I am thankful that Nothing shall separate me from the love of God. My heart is so filled as I think of his goodness and kindness and grace and mercy...my God is truly and AWESOME God ...I give him all glory, all thanks and all honor.
