They Like Me! They Really, Really Like Me....I think!
Oh my goodness...things have been so busy lately!! Between this business and life stuff time is FLYIN' by and I just can't seem to keep up, lol.
I got great news tonight...well potentially great news that is. My agent called me and asked my avail for Jan 4-10. I told him that I'd be around, and he was like "Great, CSI: Miami is checkin your avail, they might want you back." How AWESOME is that! It's funny b/c we'd had just had a conversation earlier today and he asked how the shoot was, I told him it went great and the best part is I didn't die so maybe I'll recur. Crazy, huh? Maybe I spoke it into existence...God is SO good! I dropped off a little Thank You gift to Nan and her staff yesterday...without them thinking about me non of this would be happening! It's good to have CD's who think of you, especially when you don't have an agent or manager fighting for you.
It's pretty late so I'm thinking I'm not going to NY for Chevy tomorrow, lol. I'm officially booked for the 15th, but they were holding me for the 14th. It's really strange for me to be flying out in 2 day and I haven't heard anything. I keep thinking something is gonna go wrong, but my agent assured me that this is typical. I know that usually you get the shooting info the day before, but it's a little nerve wracking when multiple days of travel across the country are involved. BUT, I'm rolling with the punches. I'm still kinda under the weather from my last trip to New York...the weather is MUCH different than here in sunny California. I don't really mind the cold, but I do have to be prepared for it!
I actually kinda miss the cold weather...somehow it doesn't really seem like Christmas when its 75 degrees outside. It's kinda a bummer too b/c I think me and the kids will probably stay here for the holidays....I really, really don't want to, but it may be unavoidable :(. I miss my family, I miss my friends on the E. coast and I miss E. It's funny, I've been running around so much in the past weeks this is like the first time I've had a chance to actually "feel" those things. Does that sound crazy?? It's like you get so busy that you look up and a month or two have passed without you really being aware of yourself. I haven't really had time to sit still and just be...to just feel. Just look how long it's been since I've blogged about anything meaningful, lol. I guess its the stopping to smell the roses thing...
and being home REALLY helps me do that. Maybe there's a way for me to make it happen....we'll see I guess....
Anyway let me end this entry by saying I am very, very Blessed and I say "Thank you, Jesus" for all of the wonderful opportunities I've had of late. My first trip to NY was a true blessing, I met wonderful people who I feel are going to open the door to International opportunities. The Charter Commercial has been a TREMENDOUS blessing. The Chevy thing is just icing on the cake. My CSI: Miami Co-Star was awesome, but a recurring role is beyond what I could have hoped from my first episodic role. I was hoping to just be able to qualify for SAG insurance, now it looks like I might not only qualify but make enough money for the best plan they offer. Isn't it funny how God not only gives us what we need, but also provides some of the stuff we want too :)?? I know this is only the beginning of a simply Amazing 2007 and I owe every good thing in my life to God. I love him, I appreciate his favor, and I give him all the praise and Glory!!

Hi Jillian, We met at a film festival...I was the lead in a film called "Inspired By..." and your film "Let's Talk" played that day also. I have been trying to leave you a comment forever but something always happens. Just wanted you to know that I came upon your blog one day and everything you wrote inspired me to start my own. I was very touched by how open and honest you were and your willingness to let people into your life and some of your personal thoughts. I felt like I got to know you a little and we have only met once. You know I never "really" knew what a blog was...lol, I mean its one of those words that people just throw around you know.:) SO until I read yours I got the whole idea and thought what a great way to let my friends and family who I can't talk to all the time in on what's going on with me. Anyway, wanted to say thank you and know that my very first day blog I thanked you for introducing me to the world of blogging. Congrats on everything and I know we will see each other around because we know so many of the same people. Plus we are both 2 Black actresses who WILL make it in Hollywood! Happy Holidays.
Love, light, and happiness
