Through My Looking Glass- A Modern Mom and Domestic Goddess In Training

   This year, I am part of the planning committee for the Mansfield Walk to End Alzheimer's. This walk is very close to my heart because my mother in law has had Alzheimer's disease for years. Watching and helping my husband take care of her and making sure she gets the best care, has really opened my eyes to the disease I use to know nothing about. It is heartbreaking. With Alzheimer's disease, there are a lot of other complications that happen other than just memory. My Grandma on my Mom's side is now developing Alzheimer's. I am happy she has moved from Arizona back to Ohio, so that I can help in any way possible. If anyone is interested in the walk in Mansfield, here is the site for it. http://act.alz.org/site/TR/Walk/OH-NorthwestOhio?pg=entry&fr_id=1564 I look forward to continuing helping with the association and raising money and awareness.

We did repetition, cold reads, scenes, learning about and practicing the fourth wall and more. I definitely plan on taking more classes at the studio in the future. I also had 3 different photo shoots while staying in Manhattan (Central Park, Brooklyn and Union Square). All three were really fun and great photographers. Dave and I also were asked to be audience members for The Bill Cunningham Show. That was very interesting! We sat in the seco
