About Me
I'm a 46 year old Woman, whom is a Mum to four children
Life is a constant battle, as I have thirteen different illnesses to contend with
And I feel as if I\\\'ve been invisible and judged by the way I walk, or when pushed in wheel chair
I have so much to offer in life
When younger,I danced, a little acting at school, and loved it
I have a way with people, that any race, culture,sick, disabled, mentally ill, that I can converse with everyone
It\\\'s been noted many times, when I\\\'m talking about someone, what they have said to me, that I always seem to do their accent, and mannerisms to put my conversation across, about them....
It\\\'s just a thing I\\\'ve always done, as I feel, if the person that doesn\\\'t know who I\\\'m talking about, it gives them more of an insight about that person, and seems to make the conversation more alive, and real...??
I have also used music as a way of helping me battle through my poor health conditions, and attempt to always sing.
A few years ago, I was very good friends with a well known black male English actor, he always said to me, I have so much to offer others,, and I\\\'m good at conversation, and making others always feel at ease, as if they have been my friend always..
Also, that he felt I should do more, with my life, than sit around waiting for carers to come daily and assist me.
As I lost alot of confidence when I became I\\\'ll....as I have alot of scars on my body, all over, from operation after operation, lacking in vitamins has caused skin complaints ect.
As it seems now a days you have to look perfect to be classed as beautiful, but people do forget, beauty starts from within ones self, as one day, as we all get older in life, most loose their beautiful looks, then what??? They are left with an empty shell...??
I feel, I could give others more confidence, inspire others, even if I was playing a very low key part in an advert, as infact I wouldn\\\'t be playing a role, I would be playing myself, and possibly reading a few lines, if I was lucky enough to?
I feel it\\\'s time, society, was stopped being brain washed by all of these celebs looks on magazines, tv, ECT, and focus more on their own natural beauty, as everyone is beautiful, no one is ugly
So, becoming someone, who could get a chance to show others out there, that do not ever be ashamed of who you are, would give me something money could never buy?
I\\\'d love to have a chance at appearing in magazines?? Adverts, small roles, as one can tell if someone is truly acting a part??
Just reading lines, and turning into a character...that\\\'s easy
To show ones true self to others, is alot harder, as we all act in most aspects of our own lives...
I do it everyday myself.....even if it\\\'s me, slapping on a bit of make up, so when my partner gets home, he doesn\\\'t worry that I\\\'ve had a bad day with my health
So, that is acting
I\\\'d like to be given an opportunity to show ME.....
Thanks

Interests & Hobbies
Music, gardening, helping others, interested in visiting castle's, country homes.
Walking, when I can, just visiting other places, meeting new people, as you always learn something new when you meet someone else
I talk to anyone
I enjoy smiling at strangers, that look sad, as my smile could mean everything to them
I like holding yard sales, to give the proceeds to charity
Also interested in Antiques
Miscellaneous Information
Again, no experience in acting, apart from school plays, I'd end up always with a small part given
Then the leading actress would pull out, I'd always be lucky enough to land on my feet and given the leading part??
I loved it
Again, most importantly, I want to inspire others, that are sick, disabled in some way, lack in confidence, feel that their life is over, like I did at 38, when I first got sick
Then I realized, life is what you make it??
What you sow, you reap....
I've had so many traumatic time's, I've cheated death, literally 5 times now, and now it's time to truly live, do something not only what I will enjoy, and learn and EXPERIENCE new things, mainly to inspire
Sadly the only way it seems you can inspire others, is by them watching TV, being inspired by perfect looking celebs....
No one is perfect, in any shape or form
So by hopefully getting just even one small part in an advert??
Speaking even on a chat show??
Will inspire all
That is my mission
If I can just inspire one person, by showing it doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, your disabilities?? Then I will be very satisfied indeed
