Well I helped a friend move after her spouse passed away from cancer. I went on several long bike rides and enjoy the saddle again. I started up tutoring French one on one which I love because I get a chance to help my students learn the language based on their specific needs and interests. Sometimes teaching a class of 19 like my last one is challenging. I love the one-on-one of teaching. Also I completed a Translator Workshop at our local Community College here in Des Moines.
Updating my composite pictures with my agent worked, I landed a nice contract month back and took part in a large campaign for a national energy company. The last time I heard it will be featured on television as well as newspaper ads, it should be coming soon. I am very excited, on the day of the photoshoot I had my own personal make-up artist and it felt very glamour. And, I am "still on the skywalk downtown Des Moines", on this big sticker poster and it's funny to see myself when I drive downtown.

I spent quite some time the past few weeks, reshaping the landscape of my life. It's my 35 year, it's an important one. I feels like I have been grooming for years. In an economy where a lot of people in the U.S struggle I count every day what I am lucky for and always tell the people I love right now why I love them so much and remind them also that sometimes letting certain people in your life is a sincere choice.
In the world of social media where everyone is your friend and by looking at pictures of others lives, we flirt with envy, as Melvin Udall said in As Good As It Gets (one my fav movies)
"Some have great stories, pretty stories that take place at lakes with boats and friends and noodle salad. Just no one in this car. But, a lot of people, that's their story. Good times, noodle salad. What makes it so hard is not that you had it bad, but that you're that pissed that so many others had it good"
I believe that I have achieved more in my life when I spent time working on what I wanted in my life rather than what others had better in theirs. Wealth has increased for me since the beginning of this blog.
