“Go in by the narrow gate. For the wide gate has a broad road which leads to disaster and there are many people going that way. The narrow gate and the hard road lead out into life and only a few are finding it.”
Matthew 7:14
I’ve learned that there are no shortcuts. To God. To love. To relationships. To great work. Etc etc. We must devote our attention to that which we seek because it requires total attention. Especially when we are trying to attain or obtain a specific thing, idea, goal achievement etc.
We as humans only have so much time. So much energy. We must choose wisely what we focus on because the mind is powerful! Today I choose joy, laughter, love, hope and truth. Even when it’s hard.

Happy Fathers Day to all the great dads out there! Showing up, loving their kids, being great leaders, protectors, providers and trying their very best. We see you, appreciate you and love you.
To those who don’t have their dads, who were abandoned, fathers who have passed or who have fathers who just aren’t dads, you are LOVED far beyond, how any human could, by God. He will never leave you or forsake you. He will always protect you and walk with you. The ultimate comforter, provider and source of love, forever.

I feel like 1 out of 5 people I meet/talk to are from Boston. Shout out to the city that I grew up in. Home is in Los Angeles and I’m so grateful for the path that took me here. Boston is a special place and I’ll always be grateful to have grown up there. Made me tough. Made me sharp. Made me humble. Made me inspired. And gave me a lot to now serve others with.

Throwing it back today to some fun times. (Pre vegan obv with the Franks Red Hot) what a ride it’s been!
My very first cover. I got the call from my agent that day saying the model that was booked either left or got fired and they needed a replacement. Could I make it to New Hampshire from Boston in the next hour or so. (45 min drive) I said YES! Got in my car and had the time of my life that day. There was no guarantee if we’d make the cover but they said they would keep me posted.
After the shoot that Bi-plane in the background was flying and I was in it. The pilot took the male model and me up as a treat after the shoot. The male model got sick so we landed let him out and the pilot and I went back up. He asked if I was up for aerial acrobatics… again I said YES! We did barrel rolls, spins, dives and back flips. All with our heads out in the open air. WHAT. A. MEMORY. I was go high that day, off of Gods great blessings.
A few weeks later I had so many people calling and texting saying they were at various stores, checkouts, magazine stands and they saw me on the cover. I made 200 off that cover but would’ve done it for free. Heck, I would’ve paid to have had that whole experience. I am so glad when I started modeling, then acting, I knew it was my path, I know it with every ounce of my being. My soul lights up, my spirit sings, as I write this tears come to my eyes. This. Is. Purpose.
So glad I didn’t listen to anyone who wasn’t on board and plowed forward with perseverance, tenacity, tunnel vision focus, obsession, might, joy, love, hope and faith.
All that mattered was I knew it was & IS my calling.
I’m so thankful to everyone who breathed life into me with belief, opportunities, help, assistance, commitment, kind words, and love.
As you read this I pray you know your calling and it’s bubbling up inside of you reminding you there’s work to be done, and go after it with all you have. God will provide the way. It’s so worth it.
