We Made it! Happy 2019!





Happy New Year!!


2018 is GONE and I'm SO EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR 2019!!

Im so happy for all of the opportunities that I was blessed with last year but am also so grateful for many of the happenings to be coming to a close ; leading the way for
Dun-du-du-dunnn
TONS of new things ALREADY STARTED!




Last year was a very big family year for me. We had weddings (1 being a destination wedding),  retirements, moves, a birth and ANOTHER baby announcement.
😱😱😱
At the beginning of the year, I gave myself a goal. I'd spend the year focusing on spending time with family and not so much on traveling with events, but by the end of 2018, I would have set in motion to be back up and running full force for 2019.

A year can be so many things....
A year can take forever to get through but at the same time will fly, whether you make use of it or not. This lends itself for a large amount of growth..... Or regression: if you're not focused.
For me, I foresaw 2018 as a year of growth and self renewal.
No stressing over what I did or didn't accomplish.No senseless worrying.
I would allow things to happen as they would - and hold faith that the universe would guide me to where I needed to be.

Let me tell you; when it rains.. it pours. And this rainfall, my darlings, is the most refreshing and nourishing of the rains.

In August, I was an invited guest at Comic con Palm Springs, my first show booked through my new cosplay management company, Nerdvana Talent.



Oh Shit! It's Sam Jones!
That Sexy Spider is Missy Mayhem, find her, follow her, love her.
I made brand spankin new friends and got to see many I'd missed. Although I'd gone to Phoenix Comicon in May, CCPS allowed me to debut new outfits, shoot with Firstglance, book with new photographers and inspired me to jump back on my social media to start creating again. I was asked to interview on several podcast and by November, I was invited to shoot with NBMA at Parkwood Studios. 

Thanks, Nader ^_^


That shoot allowed me to meet and work with an Amazing NEW photographer who then hired me for a shoot in December; a shoot that will be not only my first international publication, but is a style unlike ANY I've ever released AND my first publication for  2019!
 







What else happened in December?

I was cast in the Psychological thriller, 'MAYA'
AS
MAYA!!!
I'm beyond excited for this film and I have SO much going on involving it that I will be doing a separate post this week explaining more about it and how to follow along with me and my adventures with the film and everything else!

HAPPY 2019!!!!
WE MADE IT!!!!!
