as i just looked at the last date i blogged…. i am full of where the heck did the summer go?!?  i cannot believe it was may when i last wrote.  very bad!  it has been a very busy few months and all great. 

hope everyone has had a wonderful summer!  i certainly did.  i was able to go back to new york and see my family which always makes everything great.  i am headed back for one more trip before summer officially ends. 

i’ve been busy working on a few projects too!  as most of you know, dark beauty on lifetime aired to such great ratings, they have re-aired it two more times.  (check your local listings on lifetime for the next air date!)  the nanny express, a movie i wrote for hallmark, is set to air in january 2009.  i was fortunate to see the director’s cut and i am so proud of this tv movie.  it’s really a cute little feel-good movie and one that could be watched by kids.  (unlike some of my other darker ones!) 

i spent most of the summer working on another movie for hallmark!  this one is a romantic drama and i am so excited about it.  casting hasn’t begun yet but as soon as i hear anything concrete, i will pass it along. 

i have met with a few incredible people recently about before i go.  every day is one step closer to seeing it on screen.  fingers crossed and i’ll thank you all in advance for all good thoughts! 

i know i always make things positive and fun…but i also think i wouldn’t be a friend without saying things that need to be said sometimes.  so, i need to leave you with a final serious note: to all my girls out there…PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE ALL DOING MONTHLY BREAST EXAMS.  i know we all think it can’t happen to us…well, it can.  do whatever you can do to keep yourselves healthy and informed.  knowledge is power.  and if you know what’s going on with your body, you can stop something not so great before it gets untreatable.  okay???  so, ladies, get smart, get mammograms and get examined.  enough said.
