We Walk by Faith, Not By Sight...

2 Corinthians 5:7 "for we walk by faith, not by sight".  

Faith:  the confident belief or trust in the truth of our trustworthiness of a person, idea, or thing.

A close friend of mine brought this to my attention, and the minute they said it, I applied to everything that is currently going on in my life.  Imagine if we determined our lives based on our material surroundings?  Imagine we believed all the things that we are told, about who were, what we are worth, and what we deserve?  This challenges us to take our journeys in directions that may be uncomfortable for us because we cannot see it.  The more we take on this challenge, is the more we understand that having faith will take us to where it is we wish to be.

Long Live The King...

I think I'm still waiting for CNN to say that Michael Jackson is not dead. But as the days go by, it starts to hit me more and more, that the greatest of all time has gone on to another place. Words cannot describe the impact that this man has made on my life.


As an artist, the boundaries he broke, the records that he made, paved the way for all entertainers today, hands down. Whenever I've watched his videos Beat It, Bad, Smooth Criminal, Thriler, I always say to myself, Ï'm born in the wrong generation. I wanna dance like THAT!!! Like him! With HIM!" I feel like it is now my duty to continue what Michael gave to our generation, not just as an artist, but as a humanitarian, and a human being.

They say it's darkest before the dawn. Now he can truely be at peace. But he still lives and will always live in me. Long live the KING....

Nickelodeon's Spectacular! now DVD!!




As some of you may know, while I was living out in Vancouver, I had the privilege to work on Nickelodeon movie called Spectacular! starring Nolan Gerard Funk and Tammin Sursok (Colleen from Y&R).  The movie was Nickelodeon's call to Disney's High School Musical which hit the mark with all the tweens!  

I must say it's not a half bad movie, and I'm not saying that because I was in it.  The acting wasn't cheesy; we didn't just bust out into song and dance at any given moment.  Still a tween movie, but something that the whole family can watch; at least in my opinion! 

 This was my first experience working on a movie as a dancer and the memories of those months will always be with me forever!  I had the opportunity to work with RJ Durrell ( one of Madonna's choreographers) and the lovely Miss Kelly Konno!!!!!  If you're a dancer, and you don't know who she is, all I can say is do your research!  One of my idols as I grew up DREAMING of being a pro dancer one day!!
Go out and buy the DVD!!!  No need for me to tell you what scenes I'm in; you'll know when you watch it!!
