This Year in Review.

Ok, so it is not quite the very end of the year, but I thought I would do a speedy review of what this year was about for me, since I was on quite a long blog hiatus. 

I can’t do it month by month, since my memory is not as sharp as it once was.  I did spend a really nice birthday in California, Island of Catalina in June this year.  I ate and saw the sites, it was wonderful and relaxed.







I also got involved in the film Industry. Well, it started out with a friend of a friend who needed extras.  After the first Airport shoot, where I was unnamed airport person number 1 (insert jokes here).. and then like a lonely puppy I followed the crew to their next location.. And the rest is history.  Made a nice bunch of teenage friends (one needs those around to remind you of youth with it's great collagen and natural energy - this too shall pass  -**insert evil grin**!)

Here is the movie list thus far in which I played "a person" or something:
(Have to document in case it wins an Oscar and I get to sit in the 4000th row and applaud the movie I was nameless in)
-          Innocents
-          Colonial Theater
-          Blood Money

(Pictures courtsey of **Second Chance Productions and **JML Productions - check out their Facebook pages.. talented folks!)



I also got my permanent residence stamp, yippee and I bought myself 4 wheels of independence in the form of Four beautiful rings (non-car enthusiasts might not catch the reference!)


I put my house in South Africa on the market (… call me..)

Anyway, back to the point!

Also, I took a really nice trip to Colorado, stayed in the cutest B&B and happened upon another movie shoot where I was an extra! Imagine that! (Photo Finish I believe it was called) I Went on the wine train in the mountains and drank delicious wine. Looked at my photos and realized : “Dang girl you got fat!” ok, so then I decided to do P90x.. I think this sequence is wrong. But I know I decided something.. I can’t remember what.. and I am sure you are wondering if it worked.. tick tock.. any day now.



However, this has been a  good year. I have been religiously attending “Phoenix First Assembly” church… (get the pun?)  I have found much peace in going back to a spiritual connection. It has been good. I try to stay away from crazy Christians, but they keep finding me! It has been good though. And I enjoy it. Kind of like a B12 shot for the soul  - God is my sustenance.. But church.. well, lets just say I only drink SOME of the kool-aid ;).. I like it.. you know me..


I decided to write this blog just as a recap of the year and also  the start of a new journey on my blog.

This journey starts in Shanghai.. I leave on Oct 15th.. Pictures and tales of Adventure to come.
Oh guess what? 
I am baaaack bi**ches!!
