The moment we've all been waiting for? It's here.

2019 is in FULL swing and  I have so much going on that it's time for another post FULL of updates!  (& Self reflection)

The end of the year marked a tremendous awakening for me. For almost all of 2018, I focused on family.  We had a ton of very important events and it was time for me to take a moment to enjoy it WITH my family, instead of from a phone in another state. It was wonderful to be around my family and for the first 6 months, I spent all of my free time around them.  It was fantastic to enjoy a little time out but I found I was missing something. I wasn't doing much creatively.  I hadn't done a single shoot and I missed it.  I missed running around working on multiple projects at a time.  I missed interacting with so many people at shows and I missed the thrill of being on set and waiting for those magical words.  
In August, I was a  guest at Comic Con Palm Springs and that started a shift. Opportunities started to present themselves and then
BAM!
I felt something inside of me click, something big..something HUGE.... and I was compelled to grab on and move forward; like our good friend Sebastian. 

Projects and opportunities started popping up in front of me.  Quickly. 
I had only one choice: Take them.   
With the beginning of 2019 already filling up, I made an important holiday trip back home.
Not where I just was, but to my childhood home. The place where I grew up holds a tremendous amount of power for me. It's impossible to express the amount of love and support that I receive from my family there, so instead, I'll show you what it creates. 

A quick Pin-up shoot with Cheryl & Dennis Mong Photography

'What comes of love and hope, togetherness, and an unflinching belief of greatness, creates the strongest power that any one person can hold.'

While away, I had the opportunity to shoot with not only one of my favorite photography teams, but some of my best friends Cheryl and  Dennnis Mong.

 

I was able to spend an entire 10 days away, working a little, but more importantly, visiting with those I love.

I flew back December 31st.  Just in time to ring in the new year and with one day to pack for my flight to LA! What was I doing in LA? I'll post all about it (or at least what I'm allowed to) in my next post!

Thanks for being here through my adventures - what comic and horror shows will you be at this year?  Which ones should I go to?!

Back home!

I took a little vacation- -without my computer. I spent a few days in beautiful California. I had my meeting on Monday but don't have any information yet as to if I will be getting the opportunity I am hoping for. I should know more in 1 to 2 weeks and then there may be a BIG change in my life. Other than the meeting on Monday, I got to hang out with some old friends in LA. We went to see District 9 (amazing movie), and then hit up a few local spots for some food and drinks. It's always good to hang with familiar, friendly faces, as well as to meet new ones! I spend Tuesday with my friend Donnie driving around the coast, hiking some amazing, hidden spots by the ocean, and enjoying Santa Clarita. I got to see the "Sunken City." It is apparently a town that was built on the edge of the ocean and one day just completely sunk into the ground. There wasn't an earthquake or huge storm or anything, it just sank. It was pretty cool to look at. It's behind a big gate and you would never know it was even there unless you were a local. There are still big chunks of pavement in the dirt and you can even see where the road just stops and then drops off to this huge hole. Very interesting. The house I stayed at was amazing as well. It belongs to the owner of Spectrum FX. I can't really even begin to describe how beautiful it was. It is on 14 acres and is literally on the mountain...well, part of the mountain almost. It was spectacular.
Today was Scot's birthday so after he opened his presents we went to see a movie, layed by the pool, and then ran some errands. I made a great dinner too and am sooo full! I wanted to go out for dessert but now I am just waiting for Monday when I get to pick up the cake I had custom made for him. *Thank you Bindi Baby*
As for another comic update----I should be able to do one this weekend, as soon as I have some more information about the vendors.
Tomorrow night though I will be at Martini Ranch to see some video premiers. Doors are at 8, show is at 9 which will be followed by lots of drinking and socializing. Make sure to go if you are looking for something to do this Saturday. 21 and up only!
I'll get some pics and post them Sunday :)

Quick post

I don't have anything to go over tucson-con wise so I haven't made a post yet. I am going to record something though as I at least want to make sure that I am keeping you updated weekly as promised.
On to me--
They let me switch to part time at work so now I can focus on more acting at the time being. Also, I had a Sunday through Wednesday LA trip planned so that I could go meet with a stunt casting director. That has been postponed--to next week. I will be up there and able to hang out with everyone...who know, I may even get to try surfing for the first time in my life. Cross your fingers for me as I really want and need this change. It will be very helpful. I can't wait for next weekend! I will post more tonight and possibly post a video. If not tonight, I guarantee one tomorrow. xoxoxoxo
Victoria----- Here's an oldie but a goodie-- next pics will be from the con shoot!

Progress??

Hey guys-- I still need help from contributors on my chipin account.

I appreciate anything-even 2 bucks--Other than that, I want to say that episode 3 of Watch Over me has been written and now I am just waiting to film. Also, remember when I said I had some news about possible opening opportunities arising from Piranha 3d? Well. I have a meeting with a casting agent in L.A. this Monday. It wont be for a role really but more for stunts...with screen time during filming days. I leave Sunday night and will be staying in LA until Wednesday afernoon. I need all the positive thoughts possible! Also, if you haven't yet seen it, I posted a new video blog with Tucson Comic-con information. Here is the video-- You guys rock--and thanks for following my ramblings and crazy schedules :)
