Pear Tree – May 2023

Thank ya, thank ya very much.” — Elvis Presley

While Elvis said “thank you” to his audience, I find myself often saying “thank you” to the Universe, for all the creative things I get to do in my life. For the past two week alone, I had a great time doing a variety of things and meeting so many cool people. Whether it was acting, or journalism, or cat sitting, it all flowed so beautifully. Sometimes life gets hectic, but the bottom line is, I’m doing what I love. So thank you, Universe! Thank you very much!

Pre-sales for “So You Think You Know the Jersey Shore?” are now available!

And while we are on the topic, check out this great article about me by Jillian Risen! It was in many New Jersey newspapers, including being on the cover of Cedar Grove Life! https://issuu.com/newviewmg/docs/cedar_grove_april_2023?fbclid=IwAR3_1JLFRXTeuWvxEVwlNBfYaOafrRzriZYUAo2IiK3ffUiMIm5fWTaiZkk
