Happy 50th Birthday to Me!

Happy 50th Birthday to Me! My Birthday is tomorrow. 🎈 I am grateful for 50 years of life. The good, the bad and the ugly, it's all a gift from God. I've been through a lot in my life and I am so grateful for everything. I look forward to more amazing years! 🎂


I haven't been on here since March. I do apologize. I've been very busy with life stuff, mom stuff and housekeeping stuff.  I have not picked up my paints or brushes. 

 I have been working on what I studied long time ago and trying to get back into that. Just giving acting another chance. Not sure how it will work out but I want to give it a try. I don't want to give up on dreams. I landed a wonderful agent and I got pictures taken for my acting. I love acting a lot so I am going for it. I am very excited!

Linking up with FFO. Friday Face Off. Here is my portrait in one of the actor headshots.  I have a variety of looks and the photographer is fantastic! This is a low resolution of one of the headshots.


I've had a few doctor appointments. I still have a few more to go to. Not fun and very stressful but whatever. I just keep going and staying strong. I also have been walking and working out and I love it so much. I got into a routine and really enjoy it. I've been cooking a bit more and love making Greek food a lot. Feeling very emotional about tomorrow. So many feelings and emotions! I have family coming over for a bbq tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well. 

So that is all I have to share with you today. I truly hope you are all well. I am grateful for all of you and thank you for your comments and support. Have a lovely rest of the month and much love, peace and good health. 

🩷I will be back soon with more artwork. Hopefully the spring weather will spark my creativity. 🩷

  2. Happy Birthday, Maria! You really now how to celebrate your birthday with a bang. I loved reading about all the exciting news in your life. I am so glad that you are pursuing your dream of acting. It's never too late, I know, as I went through a career in graphic design, then to teaching and school administration, and it was not until 9 years ago, when I was in my 50's, that I went into seminary. I've now been a priest for 5+ years, and know that's where God wants me to be. I'll keep you in my prayers, my friend. Blessings!

    1. Thank you kindly Rev. Arnoldo! That is wonderful to hear! I am going to try and see what happens, if God wants me to do this It will work out. If not I will go where he tells me. He knows what is best for us. Thank you and have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend!
