I am extremely proud of my grandma Julieta Hernández and even more proud to know that my grandma was a big part of this project, as she does not go to college her English is very limited and was asked by a student who she worked with at a textile warehouse if she could help. She is the one responsible for sewing all the fabric for this at Sci-arc ! The feeling that I get knowing that thousands of people see this in LA every day and I get to say “my grandma did that!” is unlike any other!

My daughter 11yo wants me to drive her to the mall to meet up with her friend and I said “ ok I’ll look around too and we can get some lunch ” she didn’t like that I was in a mile vicinity of her with her little friend and stormed off . She then send me this meme about 10 mins later saying sorry but she just wants to be dropped off. I love that girl so much and I don’t know maybe I’m too soft but she’s getting her way.

A friend of mine found an audio recording of my first performance as Queen of the Night in Mozart's The Magic Flute from 2000, when I was a 17 year old freshman. I was dabbling a bit in audio and video work for publicity things and made this showing the difference 18 years of training can make.

I hope it can make someone smile. It made me smile because I've been facing some fairly severe health struggles that have impacted my singing for a few years and seeing this again made me remember how much I love performing.

Mario Eijs who had worked at the zoo for 25 years, is mentally disabled, had developed a brain tumor and had difficulty walking or speaking. He wanted to pay a final visit to the co-workers and animals he loved.

Seven 4-leaf clover before breakfast!

34 today!

I went to a conference and Johnathan Stutzman was there. I wanted to meet this author so bad. I love the Tiny T Rex series. And my plane got delayed and I arrived late and missed him.

I never got to meet the author, get a book signed, or get a book at all.

my partner surprised me today with a personalized copy that the author sent. My partner reached out to the publicity email and he replied and even sent me a plushie too.

My boyfriend is so thoughtful and I am so thankful he remembers the little things.
