i have so much to tell you!  first of all, i hope everyone had a great summer.  i had a busy one but i made time to go back east to visit my family.  it was SO wonderful to spend time with my sister and my nieces! i am truly blessed to have such an understanding and supportive family.  not many would be so understanding and supportive if their aunt riley barely arrived for a visit and spent a good portion of her three days visiting holed up in the office rewriting a script!  i did have to promise a pony to my nieces but isn’t that what aunt’s are for?!  seriously though, i am beyond lucky to have two beautiful, sweet nieces and a sister who i am so grateful to also call my best friend. 

now for being bailey!  i am SO excited to tell you the being bailey website has finally launched!  please visit www.beingbailey.com where you can view the first three episodes of the series!  as many of you already know, i created being bailey as a webisode series.  now there is so much interest in it…it’s being pitched as a tv show!  check it out and let me know what you think! 

when i was on "vacation" i got wonderful news about before i go!  a HUGE agency in new york signed me for books.  first on their list is taking before i go to the frankfurt book fair…and our goal?  before i go will soon go international! 

in a few days i start rehearsing and shooting a new movie!  it’s called "footprints" and is one of the best scripts i have ever read.  i am playing a girl who spends her days on hollywood blvd, dreaming of being an actress…and to make money she dresses up as super girl and poses for pictures with tourists!  it’s a supporting lead and my character is SO AWESOME! 

there’s more!  one of the MOST TALENTED directors EVER has come aboard to direct my family comedy, summer at dad’s!  he’s won emmys, he’s directed some of my favorite movies including santa clause 2 & 3!  and beyond all of that?  he’s one of the coolest, nicest, most incredible people i have ever had the chance to work with so far in this industry.  more news on that one soon! 

and hopefully a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT coming soon about before i go … so check back next week!! 

think peace  XO
