Divine Mercy: Prayer through Pain
I think I’ve mentioned before about how I go about writing my blog posts. Because spoiler alert…it’s unconventional. I literally sit down, and ask the Holy Spirit to write my post for me. And then, it’s like the words just kinda flow. But recently, there’s been a topic that has been put on my heart to […]

Chicago Bound!
Hey friends! I’m sitting here at Laguardia Airport, waiting to jump on a flight to Chicago. Just 8 hours ago, I was in New Jersey shooting a commercial, and now I’m hopping on a bright and early flight to a callback for a fashion show in the Windy City! My phone has 5% battery because […]

Brussels Sprouts Pesto Pasta!
Hey Y’all! So guess what! I’m shooting a commercial today in the city! Pretty exciting đŸ™‚ Here’s a secret though: the food on set, is typically not the greatest. Unless it’s for a network, the food available is typically along the lines of pizza. Which is great – but not for someone who is Gluten […]

The Generation that Killed Romance
Our generation is going to go down as the generation that killed romance. Among other things. But the death of chivalry and courtship will be our legacy. And I blame one thing: Dating Apps. Ugh. Bumble. Tinder. The League. Hinge. Coffee Meets Bagel. OKCupid. Online dating is a close to 2 billion dollar industry. As they say, there’s […]

TV Morality
Confession: I like watching TV commercials. Partly because I’m an actor and I do a lot of commercials, and so it’s kinda like homework to see what the commercial “trends” are. Some of these trends include: making dads and men seem like dopes or incompetent, ethnically ambiguous “heroes,” the switching of normal gender roles, and […]

Light up the Sky
New week, new city! I’m back in Ohio this week. I had a callback for a film this morning. The casting director, writers and producers flew in from LA, so fingers crossed on the project! I’m not going to front: last week, I was in a very strange head space. I found myself, almost resenting this blog. Monday’s […]

A Local’s Guide to NYC
I wore shorts today, for the first time this year. Hallelujah! It’s finally spring! And you know what that means…just like my winter-pale gams, pretty soon the tourists will be coming out of hibernation and visiting NYC. I love my city. I’ve lived in NYC for seven years, and every day, I still have to pinch […]

The Truth about Age & Eating Disorders
I need to be honest with you about something. Come clean, if you will… I joined a gym. Now I know, that may not seem like a big deal or anything, but when it comes to recovery from anorexia, the gym is one of those…treacherous areas. Since I have been fully recovered, I haven’t belonged […]
