2Till30

As a long lost/almost forgotten promise to my beloved sister, I have set forth on a quest to become the woman I always knew existed somewhere deep inside- by the age of 30. Two years isn’t a ton of time but with hardwork, dedication, and adhering to a few simple guidelines it seems like my dream of living a less chaotic life may come true. I have fully committed to contributing to becoming a better being by categorizing each day into four areas:

1. HEALTH~ For the past three years, as a professional audtion-er (aka an out-of-work-actress) I have overlooked the many benefits of eating a balanced diet, working-out, and HEALTH INSURANCE. In my mind a well balanced woman would place her health as the most important thing in the world and as I strive for greatness, HEALTH is a priority.

2. PASSION~ For the last five years, I have literally drifted from one crazy life scenario to the next with no true dreams, ambition, or creativity. Now as an actress my performances have seemed to be lacking that emotional connection required for getting into character amongst other things. I refuse to be aimless anymore. Whether it comes from a ray of sunshine or a prophetic poem, I need to rejuvenate my inner self by bringing back my PASSION for life!

3. WEALTH~ After emerging from the most catastrophic financially damaging relationship EVER, I decided perhaps the minimalist approach was best. Throwing caution to the wind I thought of my full time job, the paycheck was totally lack luster. “Could I manage without a car, a home, cable TV? Would it be so bad if I tried to?” Sadly since the aforementioned relationship also resulted in a touch of insanity, I thought lets get rid of EVERYTHING except for the laptop and cell. So for the past three years I’ve been an artist/actress/hippie but…lately I’ve started to have urges for “normal things”: shoes, clothes, an apartment, and something that I once took for granted to the utmost- a CAR! So I need to fanangle my way back into the full time workforce with a few years of temping under my belt, one thing I know I’m capable of is matriculating flawlessly into almost any work environment.

4. FASHION~ So this aspect of my life is HEAVILY influenced by my beloved little sis who might I add works for one of the most fabulous employers in the retail cosmetic industry- needless to say she knows whats “IN” and she’s tired of seeing me as a frumpy-dumpy-hippie who has maintained the same sad wardrobe of reds and navys for the past four years despite the fact that many of the garments no longer fit her expanding frame. The fashion-crisis is so intense that she has volunteered to make a sizable contribution to the Let-Liz-Love-Herself-Enough-To-Wear-MakeUp&Heels-FUND. My response, “If I was healthy enough to care I would “normalize”, get a job, and have the energy/inspiration to dress like it matters!”

Time is NEVER on my side. In life, I tend to show up forty-five minutes early or too late to care. But this attitude, this lifestyle has to S-T-O-P before I drive myself into a massive deep dark depression. Millions of people have to struggle more knowing that their hardwork will never pay off. The least I can do is make an effort and hopefully I can inspire more woman who are in mediocre relationships, jobless, slightly over weight, and sad. WE CAN ALL CHANGE, the METAMORPHOSIS starts NOW!
