Happy Mama's Day!

Hope all the mother's had a great day today! Especially my fellow single moms...I know it gets hard ladies, but it will all pay off in the end. Here's to YOU...to Us :)

My Mother's day was lovely. I received two beautiful handmade cards, went to the park and out to dinner. We went to Outback Steakhouse which was one of my favorite restaurant in South Carolina. I hadn't been there in like 8 years, but today it was my choice. We had to drive to Torrance to get there, but it was soooo worth it :)

I'm always exhausted on Sundays these days since I started working on the weekend. My blog writing has been pretty sparse lately, but I've been soooo busy. It's funny, I thought I was gonna be depressed during this time of the year...and although there are times where I definitely feel blue the beauty of life won't let me stay that way for to long. That in and of itself is a blessing.

I called E's sister a few days ago...we both talked about how we've been meaning to call and how we think of each other often. It's good to know that we're in each others hearts though we don't talk often. She is such a great person but I have to admit talking to her brings up some pretty difficult emotions. She told me that whenever she thinks of E she thinks of me and the love I brought to him and their family. That simple statement brought me so much comfort and solace. The power of words is really amazing. I told her that I might come through Chicago this summer and she said she'd be honored if I stayed with them. Truthfully I am honored by her offer. She was the sister E was closest to and it's so easy to see why. She's kind and compassionate, and maybe the most understanding woman on the planet. I usually end up a bit of a mess when I talk to her, but for the first time ever, I talked to her without crying. Strangely enough THAT made me sad...lol. Life can be strange that way I guess...

I sent my mom and E's mom flowers for today. I have to admit I've been working so hard that I Mother's Day kinda snuck up on me. My mom got her flowers yesterday and though she complained b/c she could tell I spent a lot of money, she couldn't hide how happy she was to get them. She was all like, "I got the Big, Beautiful Flowers you sent. You don't need to be spending this kinda money...but they are Beautiful!"...lol. My aunt told me she started crying when she received them, so I figure it was worth every penny. I am a big believer in showing people you appreciate them while you can...I don't need to get hit by a truck to remember to appreciate my mama. E's mom should get her flowers today. He always went the most amazing bouquets...I mean AMAZING. I couldn't let the day go by without making sure she got her flowers this year. I hope they bring her some joy in this difficult season.

Things are great on the work front. I have been sooo busy working on the website and poster for "Let's Talk" over the last few weeks and it's almost done! It's been ALOT of work but hopefully it'll be worth it. We just brought a great publicist (and awesome guy), on board in hopes of really maximizing the potential of this project. It's amazing how much work goes into the prep, production and promotion of a film...it's been a great learning experience for me.

I still haven't receive the script for the AXE film project that I got cast in. I'm a little concerned because rehearsals start this week but I really can't commit to the project without seeing the script! Hopefully, I'll get it soon.
