Find your dream and then risk everything to make it a reality!!

  Find your dream and then risk everything to make it a reality!! 

For almost 20 years I had one dream and that was finding my biological family. I never gave up on that dream even though at times I never thought it would become a reality. If you followed my story, you know some of the obstacles I encountered along the way. But I made a promise to myself that I would never give up. 

Tonight I was reminded of one of the lowest times of my journey. As I read the words that  I wrote my heart broke. I remember the pain and sadness that I felt and how I wanted to give up. But I couldn't. I knew that was not my destiny. 

This journey has been filled with so much struggle, but I always knew that God put me in that phone booth to be an example and inspiration to others in similar situations. I never forgot that no matter how hard things seemed, I knew I needed to stay positive for others. 

I have known for many years that I was going to write a book about my life story and since moving to Hollywood I have had the chance to make my story a movie. Actually a series or franchise of movies and this is just the beginning. I always said everything would happen in God's time and that time is now. I am beyond excited for what the future holds.




To me this is about so much more than sharing my life story. Everyone has a story- a testimony- which defines, shapes, moves and propels them. When we share our story we are able to move others by inspiring, giving hope, or touching their lives in some way. Throughout my journey the response I have received when I share my story with someone is overwhelming. The amount of people who have reached out to me inspired me to move forward. The encouragement and love that was poured out drove me to continue when I felt like I couldn't go on. The stories that were shared with me made me feel like I wasn't alone. I am eternally grateful to everyone that reached out to me and helped me on my journey.

Through the "Abandoned" series I want to inspire people to move forward no matter what obstacles are in front of them. I want people to know that there is hope, no matter how hopeless the situation may seem. I want people to know that they are not alone, no matter how lonely they may feel.  I know feelings of loss, loneliness, and despair can be tragic but I want people to know that these feelings can be replaced with joy, happiness and love. When you are facing trials in life I want to encourage you to keep going. Don't stand in the fire, walk through to the other side!!

I am excited with all that is happening. Two books will be complete soon. Abandoned Vol.1 and also a bible study. These two books have been a work in progress for some time and I am thrilled to share them with you.

The movie is in pre production. It takes a lot to make a movie, especially when it's a time piece based on a true story. I am excited for the cast and crew to travel to Oklahoma and bring this story to life. The business cards promoting the movie are here. The website is up. www.abandonedmovies.com
The movie Facebook, Instagram, twitter, and youtube are all active. There is a link to all the social media on the website.

There is a go fund me account  https://www.gofundme.com/abandoned-vol1-movie
To make this movie become a reality I need to raise money. It is costly to make a movie. Props, locations, insurance, costumes, equipment, not to mention the travel and accommodation and food for the cast and crew, just to name a few expenses.

I will be blogging often and keeping everyone up to date on the progress. You can also follow on social media to stay even more up to date.

You can donate to this movie on the Go Fund me or straight from the website. I encourage you to visit the website. On the website is a list of donation rewards. The rewards range from a movie t shirt to having a part in the movie. I appreciate your support so much. It means more to me than I can express.
