Travel & Tribute

Commercial Audition - TIDE - 12/2/08 (Kenyah)

Heading out to New Mexico tomorrow to film Friendship! I'm so very excited, but I'm also a bit stressed because at the last minute I have to make new arrangements for my kiddos. Long story short, my departure time was pushed up, so I have to leave for Albuquerque earlier than I expected to. In addition, callbacks for Kenyah's TIDE audition are tomorrow, so if she were to get one, I have no idea who would take her to it! Other than that, I'm cool...:)...I'm happy for all of these "exciting stresses" I suppose, I think it just amazes me how everything has to happen all at once, or not at all!...:)...Please pray that I get everything worked out tonight!

One other thing before I sign off. I want to pay tribute to a wonderful man. I met Elwood Carlisle at a networking breakfast years and years ago, and I would make sure to talk to him every time I went back...:). Elwood was one of those people that had an unbelievable ZEST for life, and I can honestly say that I've never met anyone else like him. He was well into his 70's before he even started an acting career, but just look at what he was able to accomplish in such a short amount of time!

When we met, he gave me his card, and to this day, I still have it. Sometimes I'll look at it and think: "If Elwood had the motivation and drive to do this, then so can I!...:)..." Well, needless to say, I was very sadden to learn last week that Elwood recently passed away.

I just want to take this time to extend my sincerest condolences to his family. I will never forget Elwood, and I will continue to use his legacy as an inspiration for my own! Rest in peace Elwood! You will be missed.
