Oh, how lovely was our 3 night trip to Lake Arrowhead!!! For the first time I actually recognized how lovely it is to not have to worry about making dinner (ahem, though that's rarely a task I rise to the occasion of) how nice it is to not have to do the dishes (though I now have a dishwasher!) And to not have to wake up early to go anywhere... although when I have to wake up really early to go anywhere, it's usually an acting job, which has me bouncing out of bed with joy :0)
And yes, Phil and I celebrated our second anniversary and I am so happy to have so much love in my life. So much that I cried two of the three nights because I missed Bailey SO much.
Details? Three great nights of sleep at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. It was beautiful and wonderful. Two fantastic breakfasts at Belgian Waffle Works on the lake in Arrowhead Village. Yum! Thank you to my wonderful manager Joy Stevenson for the tip! One really cute, super-discounted, new Coach purse from the Coach Outlet in Arrowhead Village and one relaxing, wonderful lemonade mint massage at the Spa of the Pines. Yay! Oh, and many, many duck-feeding sessions lakeside. Um, why do I love to feed the ducks so much? Especially the baby ones! What? Baby?!
Just kidding! For now...
So grateful today! My wonderful students gave me a lovely send off for my last day at the mental health facility in Watts. Doughnuts and gifts, what more could I ask for? Oh yeah, Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings off now until July 6th. Umm... YAY!
Also SO grateful for my wonderful manager Joy Stevenson who is celebrating her birthday today! Yay Joy! Couldn't ask for someone better to be on my team.
AND I'm so grateful for my writing/producing partner Leigh Hall! We're putting the finishing touches on our first feature film script (comedy, but of course) and couldn't be more optimistic about it! Yay Leigh!
Lastly so grateful for and proud of Phil Han, whose recruiting business ZenSource is taking off! Oh, of course it is! It's Phil!
Yay today!!!
I very often say something far too few actors ever say. I LOVE MY MANAGER! I'm represented by the wonderful Joy Stevenson at Stevenson Talent Management. She's been in business... well, longer than anyone I know (we'll leave it at that!). She has an outstanding reputation and every casting director I meet and/or audition for, knows and loves her.
Her clients are never just someone on a list they remember meeting that one time. She welcomes my questions, concerns, and comments all the time, often returning even my late night emails with little delay. And more importantly than anything, she gets me. She consistently sends me out for roles that I'm right for and I can say without a doubt, works solely in my best interest. I feel SO blessed to have her working for me. My fear? That she'll retire! How could I possibly find another manager who would come close to matching up? I try not to think about it and I just look forward to making her rich before that dreadful day!
