So, I am one of those people who attempts over & over to live a "normal" life... and can't quite make it stick. What is normal you ask? A steady job that I don't end up hating and quitting. How about a steady career? Oh, and how about a steady relationship? ARG!
I feel like a Broadway show on the inside all the time... Operating on the outside like someone who looks like everyone else....but totally is not. I am that person you meet that is actually "acting" in order to appear "politically correct" "corporate" "normal" "nice" "sweet" "tough" "in-control" "confident". I am one of the greatest actresses you will ever meet!
In actuality, I am totally not normal!!! I'm also not that nice or sweet! Not on the inside of my head anyway! I often wonder how people can be "so sweet" all of the time! Really?? Are they in the same world that I am in? They definitely were not raised in the home I was raised in...
I'm also not very tough or confident - even at this age when you should have developed a thick skin and a tremendous confidence level by now. The truth is, I was born a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and find this to be filled with pros & cons. The Pros are that it is a fabulous quality to have for a comedienne! I can laugh a lot and feel joy when I make others laugh. It makes me highly empathetic.
Which is a quality greatly needed for a comedienne.

Thank you Carol.....Burnett!
When I was 5 years old, Carol Burnett came on the air. For the next 11 years, she brought laughter, hilarity and the joy of comedy into my life. I learned how to have a sense of humor because of Carol, Harvey, Tim & Vicky.
I learned that the biggest kick I can get is to make someone else laugh and to laugh myself.
It has astonished me, that I have gotten to be this old, and have not made this my career. I love it so much.
In the right circumstances, I have the power to be wickedly funny. It's how I look at things. And think about things. And organized correctly....funny stuff can flow out of my mouth! Sometimes it's just being with the right person that makes me funny.
So, now, at age 55, 50 years after Carol first came on the air, I am creating an intention to be who I was intended to be....a comedienne!
In all I do...with everyone I meet...I will be a comedienne.
I will not ever worry about becoming famous or making money. But, this will be the essence of who I am from now on. No more trying to figure me out. It doesn't matter what job I have. or what project I'm working on.... I'll be a comedienne doing something else.
