My dream when I was a teen was to go to the school of art and design. My mother wanted me to go to Barbizon School for Modeling. I don’t think they had acting back then, but I wanted to be a soap star. So when she called Barbizon they said I was too young, you had to be sixteen at the time, i was fourteen.

So my mother found an agent for me to go to in Manhattan, but while in his office just him and I,  he said, "I can get you in but, I would want a Kiss from you." Even as a kid i knew what that meant so i just threw that idea out the window.  And i told my mother.

I continued drawing and had a great portfolio which was stolen while in high school but,  i still have some drawings. One drawing was a profile of Sharon Tate which i still have, she was so beautiful. I was very talented in high school and got 90’s in Art class. I took guitar lessons and played with friends on the beach. Later i became a teen mother. So I played for them, and myself.

My dream was for my children not to make the same mistakes I made a hippies did as hippies do.

My dream was for them to be successful. I took parenting classes and went to seminars to learn what not to say to them, and what to say to them. Example ( you did a bad thing, You are not bad kid, what you did was bad.) I was always aware of the words I used in making sure their self esteem stayed intact. Of course they did some experimenting, but not for long since my niece had a seizure from smoking pot one night. 

They are now in their thirties and are very successful adults.

My son became a stock broker at the early age of 19, and with those skills started his own business which is not in the stock market, and owns his home, rents one house, and sold one house. My daughter works for the best orthopedic company in Jersey where she made them an extra 30,000 last year in collections, got a promotion, and is a great mother.  My two grandchildren girl 11, boy 12 were excepted into their schools magazine as artist. I have been teaching them how to draw since they were very young. I told them I want them also to concentrate on writing for the magazine also. My daughter makes them read for an hour every sat. They are in their rooms by nine, lights out at ten. They have chores which they get paid for, and if they do not do them they are docked. It is their responsibility to mark on the calendar when they do the chore. 

Here is a Dream Come true in the Making!

My daughter looking to invest in a business got a liquor license, after my husband found a Tavern that was empty for a year, got it at a bargain price, I got the food handlers license just recently, and since my husband is a carpenter, and owns a small construction company is doing the work needed. Things are happening because they are decisions based on knowledge of the stock market, and seeing what is coming. People need to socialize, eat and drink. They don’t need siding and windows. Though he will still do that work.

I still paint and have videographies on all the myspace, facebook, blogs. My artwork can be seen on the internet if you google me. You’ll see my wall mural which was a selling point in the house. And I  blog on interesting and timely subjects, warnings on medicines.  I have some published essays, and I wrote a screenplay in 1996 which the things i wrote about are coming true now. Like it is based on going to get the chipping, which is the nano-implant they are actually doing for some people who want it. And then the earthquake which only my characters and those who are prepared are saved. It make it to the semi-finals twice in screenplay contests. Until i figured out they just wanted the money to enter it. I had it registered anyway.

One of my videos is with me, and my 8 yr. old granddaughter  interviewing me, and asks if I have any friends, and I say: in a silly voice "oh yes, hello whoopi"  and she turns to the camera and says "yeah, she stole my show! lol
