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!!!!! 

New

New year, new projects, new hair.
Happy new year!! How has the beginning of the year for all of you?? I have been a stranger to blogging lately but so Much has been going on lately that I had to get back in the blogging game :-)
First off, 2012 ended up going pretty well. In June I filmed in a feature called "Salvation.". Its a dark drama and I play the troubled 'Ruthie.' I got to work with incredibly talented people on this film and absolutely can not wait to see it. You can check out the imdb here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1457764/combined
The rest of the year was lots of comic conventions. I did interviews for the Saboten Con - (WWW.sabotencon.com) 

Only one of those interviews is edited and online.  I will be releasing all of them throughout the year, up until the next Saboten Con, September of 2013.

After the Saboten Con, I went to a music festival/convention hosted by Cappadonna from the Wu Tang Clan.  He put on of his songs in the movie in which I play a Mayan Queen, 'A Man Called Nereus' and played the movie the entire weekend of the convention.  Next up was Comikaze!! This was all in September so I was getting a bit exhausted by this point.  I helped to promote the western web series, Western X and met some amazing new people.  

Stephanie Nault and I being interviewed by Gonzo.

After Comikaze I got SICK!!! We're talking a 4 day fever and hacking up lungs.  It was gross.  Because of this...I didn't hit up any more cons until January.  I had a little break, continued co-hosting on Saturday afternoons on Men With No Lives and then started the New Year. 

This year-- although it's been less than 8 weeks in, has been so full and incredible that I am going to continue that in a completely new post.  Lots of new pics and stories are to come--- as well as a NEW workout posts.  It's that time again...and I'm ready to kick some serious ass.  ^_^  Until next time--
