Good morning, guys and girls!  I'm currently writing this post from Orange County, where MAMA DALEY lives!  It's approximately 4AM and I am up writing for my blogs.  Writing is therapeutic, and I truly love it.  It's funny being back here in the OC.  This county reminds me of a simpler time in my life.  I moved here 10 years ago from Massachusetts to start college in Irvine.  My college days were incredible, and now, years later when I have an apartment up in Hollywood and am working in entertainment, the same city where I attended college is now where my mom lives!  The OC.  A beautiful, yet wild place!  

(By the way, a musical is currently being made about the TV show, "The OC" !  I'm certainly going to try to audition for this one!)
  
Being with my family and my friends here in the OC is a gift.  As I write about often on acting.about.com and mention regularly on my YouTube channel, we only have one life, one shot! It's important to live it up every single day.  The people who are a part of my life help me to do just that; they inspire me all of the time.  Many of my friends are artists.  In fact, I have more friends who are artists than I can count!  And what I find to be the most beautiful aspect about these men and women is that they are extremely passionate about their work and their lives, and they will not stop moving until they achieve their goals.  Artists are awesome beings, aren't they?!  Haha.  

Friends, (whether you're an artist or not!) I am extremely fortunate to know you.  You are powerful, amazing, and you can't be stopped from reaching your full potential - unless you stop yourself.   

If you've got a couple of seconds, take a few moments to think about why you feel fortunate.  And feel free to leave a comment below! :)

Always Be You, Keep Moving Forward, and Never Give Up!
