2016 New Year Reflections!

-
It is that time of the year when we have to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new. 2016 has been a great year for me other than my health.  I usually have to deal with something going wrong with my health every year.

Positive things that happened:

  • Chosen to produce and help write our thesis film. This film one 3rd place at the Grand Rapids Comic-Con. 

  • Graduated from College. It took me 9 years because of my health but I did it. I got my BFA in Film and Media. I not only graduated but graduated with honors. I received Outstanding Leadership and the Diamond Heart Award. 

  • Got hired as the Production Coordinator for Micah Tyler's music video "Never Been A Moment" directed by Harold Cronk. You might know Harold Cronk who directed the "Gods Not Dead" movies.

  • I didn't have to worry about finding an internship because I ended up with three. My first one was the music video. Second, I was hired to produce a commercial for Wisdom of the Wounded. Third, I was social media coordinator for Feel Like You Belong. 
  • Found an amazing kind Gastro doctor at Henry Ford Hospital. 
  • I have amazing friends who truly care about me. 
There are more but these are some of the biggest positive things of my year. 

I have also had some negative things that happened to me. I don't like to focus my energy on it, but I have learned everything you go through you will grow a positive thing. 

Negative Things:
  • Learned I will have a hard time finding a full-time job who will work with my medical conditions. 
  • Experienced sexual abuse from my boyfriend which I am thankfully not in anymore.   I will tell you the story later. This relationship taught me so much. One thing it taught me is to not meet someone on the Tinder app again. 
  • Student Loans, health problems, having lots of prescriptions, medical bills, and living expenses don't mix. Affordable Health Care isn't so affordable. Government and getting on disability is a pain in the butt.  
The list could go on. 

My List of Ten Things I want to accomplish this year:

1. Post regularly on my blog. 
2. Do some vlogging. 
3. Write my book. 
4. Finish my screenplay. 
5. Join more clubs. 
6. Not be so hard on myself. 
7. Hopefully, put some weight on. 
8. Learn to play the guitar. 
9. Get back to playing the piano again. 
10. Sell more things on Ebay. 

I hope you all had a wonderful Holidays!!

My Book Review on Rachel Hauck's The Memory House plus Giveaway

ABOUT THE BOOK Embracing the future means remembering the past . . .  When Beck Holiday lost her father in the North Tower on 9/11, she also lost her memories of him. Eighteen years later, she’s a tough New York City cop burdened with a damaging secret, suspended for misconduct, and struggling to get her life in order. Meanwhile a mysterious letter arrives informing her she’s inherited a house along Florida’s northern coast, and what she discovers there will change her life forever. Matters of the heart only become more complicated when she runs into handsome Bruno Endicott, a driven sports agent who fondly recalls the connection they shared as teenagers. But Beck doesn’t remember that, either. Decades earlier, widow Everleigh Applegate lives a steady, uneventful life with her widowed mother after a tornado ripped through Waco, Texas, and destroyed her new, young married life. When she runs into old high school friend Don Callahan, she begins to yearn for change. Yet no matt

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 4 Junkie Review

-
Image
For some reason, I fell in love with Below Deck series, especially Below Deck Mediterranean. Why not spend a night watching rich people getting drunk and employees making a fool of themselves. Season 4 has been one of my favorite seasons. There wasn't much drinking and sex like the previous seasons. This season did bring up some hard topics such as dealing with being an alcoholic, rape, culture, homophobic. Bravo brings us on a trip through the French Riviera for Season 4. Captain Sandy brings a new level  of leadership in season four on the "Sirocco" mega yacht. With high expectations, she has no tolerance for anything short of perfection and will take drastic measures if the crew can't deliver. Hannh, looking to right her wrongs from last season, is hoping for smooth sailing with a strong interior crew. But will choppy waters threaten her redemption? Mila, classically trained in French culinary cuisine, becomes the first female chef in franchise history
