My apologies to everyone!  You haven't heard from me in weeks.  I haven't updated my website.  No one can get in touch with me by phone or internet...

Well let me tell you why!

The last few weeks have been Hell for me!  I was evicted from my apartment... (My sweet fancy luxury apartment with the fireplace... pool... vaulted ceilings... jacuzzi... gym... sauna... spacious closets... and pool...)

Anyway... I'd gotten fired from my "day job" as an Executive Assistant several months ago FOR "BEING TOO PREETY"!  (That's not a joke, I was actually told the only way I can get a "REAL" job is to sleep with the boss).  I tried to look at this situation positively, as an opportunity to focus on the career I really want, which is acting and modeling (WHICH HAPPENS TO BE A REAL CAREER AS WELL)!  Of course it's tough finding the work I need in and around KY so I was no longer able to afford the Luxury Apartment.

It's ok though; sacrifices must be made when following your dreams.  Staying positive as usual I figured if I moved into a much smaller and much less expensive place, I'd be able to save up enough money to get out to those cities I need to be in.

So I found a place to live... a very small efficiency and very low budget!  I wish I had been saving up for this move in the first place instead of trying to live nice!  I was not looking at long term!

 
On the day I was moving into my new place, (note: I was traveling back and forth across town loading everything into my Matrix and into the new place by myself) as I'm unpacking the Landlord (nosy as can be) notices a toy box amongst my belonging. 

He says, "Do you have kids?".  I said, "Yes I do".

He completely lost his mind!!  He started yelling, "There's no way... We can't do this... This isn't going to work..."!  He was putting me out after I'd already signed the lease and before I'd even got moved in!  He couldn't do that!  It felt like it was the end of the world for me because I'd already looked at so many apartments and none of them worked.  This was my last resort and he was putting me out!  Where would we go?  Where would my children sleep tonight??!  I was panicking and didn't know what to do!  And I'll be honest, I'm saved but in this situation I really wanted to slit that man's throat.  And I know that's wrong.  I tried to reason with him.  I reminded him that my husband and I work all the time and we'd never really be at the apartment except to sleep.  I told him we travel all the time and really just need a place to store our stuff and lay our heads every once in a while.   He just kept saying that my kids would disturb the neighbors and that he didn't care!  "That's your problem", he said!  I could have just killed him right then and there!  I was so devastated!

 
I called my husband who had to leave work even though we were trying to make sure he didn't miss any more days!  That's why I was moving all this stuff myself in the first place.  I started to call the cops to tell the landlord he had to give us 30 days because I knew this wasn't legal.  But after talking with my husband neither of us felt safe staying there after the way this man acted.  So the only thing we could do (that was legal) , was to try to find a place to live.

 
We drove around all day.  I cried all day.    Every apartment we went to turned us down or just couldn't have a place ready fast enough.  It was getting close to time to pick up the kids before the daycare closed and I was preparing to have to sleep in the car or stay in a shelter with my boys.  You can't imagine what that feels like!  I wanted to blame someone.  I blamed the landlord of course, for not having a heart.    But I also blamed America, because of the fact that I'd called every program that is made to help people in my situation, homeless people, and none of them could help.  They all said they were full or were not taking applications, all excuses! 

 
As angry as I was my husband and I kept praying the whole time.  Just when we were about to give up and face reality we stopped at one last apartment complex.  It was a place that neither of us would have ever chosen to live.  "Ghetto" some would call it.   I didn't even want to go in the office but there weren't too many options.  We went inside and the lady working there happened to be someone who went to school with my husband.  We told her the situation and she said that the soonest she could have an apartment ready would be the next morning.  Although it wasn't ready now, it was the best news we'd heard all day.  She was willing to waive our application fee, lower our rent, and even take cash although they don't normally do that but it was all we had.  (That's because US Bank stole all of my money and now I have no bank account and don't trust banks anymore).

 
But anyway, we had the relief knowing that we would have a place to call home for a little while.  We just had to figure out what to do for tonight.  On our way to get the kids I saw 6 homeless people.  People with signs, shopping carts full of all they owned, Veterans who had fought for THIS COUNTRY and now this country treats them like the scum of the earth.  With all these people on the streets, I wondered who was sleeping in the beds or homes of all those programs that were meant to keep people off the streets.  I cried the whole ride.  I was sad but there's no word to explain exactly what I felt.  I felt like there was something building up inside me; like a million little people building something GREAT?

I FELT GREATNESS!  I FELT CHANGE!

 
I didn't know what God was trying to tell me but I knew it was something BIG!  There is a reason we ended up in this community.  God knows we would have never moved there on our own.  And as devastating as it seemed at the time, I felt inside of me that he was making a way to put us exactly where we needed to be!   I knew it was no coincidence.  This is the 5th time in my life I've moved into an apartment before I'd ever even seen it, including the one I lived in for 20mins.  This is the third time I'd been homeless... at least this time it was only for a few hours!   These are all the thoughts that were running through my mind as I lay on the floor with my family in an empty luxury apartment home, in the dark, trying to sleep and hoping that tomorrow would be a better day. Knowing that something big was happening inside of me that would affect thousands... millions... and wondering what it could be.

 
After all that I've now settled into my "never-before-seen", "ghetto" apartment home.   And believe it or not, it's pretty nice... on the inside.  I hooked it up pretty good and remind myself everyday of where I'm going and not where I am.  In the mean time I'm determined to make a change.  That greatness that I felt, and still feel, makes me want to CHANGE THE WORLD!  Now I know that's a big task for one person, but I'll never know what changes can be made until I start.

Thus, my TO DO LIST:

    1.  Get involved more in the community and state that I'm in now!

There are a lot of programs that are to mentor to children, clean up communities, prevent crimes, build homes, etc.  I plan to get involved with as many as humanly possible.  Every day that I'm not filming or shooting I'll be doing something to positively affect others in this world.  I'll start with this community, county, state, then venture out as far as I can go.  The Sky is the Limit but I've got to start somewhere!

    2.  Spread the word, "Vote for OBAMA"! 

I've never really been into the whole white house, voting, stuff.  Honestly, I never really cared.  I couldn't even tell you who was running before.  Because it didn't affect me, it didn't matter to me and that is very selfish.  Now that I've seen firsthand the other side of this country and how the decisions made up there affect us down here, I want more than anything to get someone in the position who I know will make a CHANGE.  If I could run for president myself I would? But for now I'll just do everything I can to make sure Obama makes it.  I want to see a change in this country and from listening to him speak I know that's what he wants more than anything as well!  As far as McCain goes, he's all about making the Rich Richer so if you are rich and don't care about anyone but yourself then you can vote for him!  For those who love others, want to help others, want to make the world a better place, want peace? VOTE FOR OBAMA!

    3.  SPEAK MY MIND!

Just like I'm doing now.  I know you guys haven't heard from me in a while but soon you'll get tired of hearing from me!  I'm going to speak my mind about everything I see, feel, know, think?

I will not be silenced!  This is a free country right?  (Most of the time.)  So I've got a freedom of speech and I'm going to use it!  Via Blogs, Bulletins, Letters, Emails, and of course my BIG MOUTH!  (Another thing I know God didn't just give me for no reason).

If you don't want to hear it, close your ears, stop reading, shut yourself off to reality and don't care about anyone but yourself.  You will always be selfish and you will always be miserable.  Great things come to those who take the time to help others.

I will speak about LOVE, GOD, POVERTY, CRIME, HATE, RACISM, TEEN PREGNANCY, DRUGS, VIOLENCE? Everything that is WRONG I will do everything in me to make RIGHT!

And ya know what?  I could care less what people think about it!    I want people to back me, agree with me, be inspired by me, and hopefully decide to make changes themselves?  but for those of you who disagree, think negative things about what I say or do? Well, I've already been to the bottom.  There is nothing you can say to me, do to me, or take from me that hasn't already been said, done, or taken.  I've seen the worst of it, so I've nothing to lose and everything to gain!

If you took the time to read all of this (I know it was a lot) I THANK YOU VERY MUCH!  And I ask that you express how you feel about all that I've said by leaving a comment!  I encourage you to share your opinion or ask me any questions.  I'll do my best to respond to everyone.  I won't know where I'm needed if no one tells me!

I TRULY LOVE YOU ALL!   And that is why it aches in me to see someone in trouble or in need.  But I WILL MAKE A CHANGE? AND SO CAN YOU!
