"...to embrace all possibilities and to do what makes me happy, that if I ask for success and abundance, I have to work as hard as needed to make sure that the opportunities that are given to me are completed at well over 100% of my abilities. There is no "small" anything - everything that I do, I DO - as there is no try. 2015 was rewarding (see A Note To Me in 2016) and 2016 was even more so. I look forward to the future and what 2017 will bring. Happy New Year."
2016 brought many new people into my life and presented me with...
My dream to TRAVEL to another country for work. Australia was the FIRST stamp in my passport!
Ability to bring new characters to life in feature film - including my techno roller girl, "Rainbow" in Sex.Sound.Silence and my rapper persona, "Ventique" in Gradation.
2016 also allowed me another year...
...as Booking Officer at Stuart Rogers Studios in North Hollywood, CA where I study acting under the talented Michael B. Silver, Timothy Carhart, and studio head Stuart Rogers.
My daughter Emma Donaldson is posting some of her Video Diary's over on Facebook at The Ginger Girls TV Page - and OMG, ME WITH NO MAKEUP ON???!!!!
If only I could figure out how to take it down! She's threatening me that she has more to share if I don't give in to her teenage demands...where's her father Donald when I need him? LOL! I must have failed as a parent at some point!
Sometimes, we have to fall on our face, to appreciate standing up! Remember, not everything in life comes easy, and not everyone that we surround ourselves with are meant to stay for longer than they (or we) need them. I love meeting new people, and love everyone who comes into my life - even if they are not the right fit, or we grow apart, or have different idea(s) on how we are to go through this crazy wonderful thing called life. As a SAG Actress, I look forward to working with many talented people in all aspects of the entertainment industry - but, those that I chose to allow into my #TEAMADRAJANEAN Crew, know that together WE are visionaries, creating something more... bringing something more to those around us. What is that "more" that I speak of? Well, follow along on the journey, as the years unfold, so will the story.
MAY YOU ALL BE BLESSED IN ALL THAT YOU DO!

Almost 12 years we were together. Since photography class in college, when we still worked on SLR non-digital cameras, you remember, the kind that we loaded with film and processed in dark rooms.
You were a Christmas present from my father in Michigan, way way way, back in the day.
We got Media passes, just you and me - people gave us strange looks and asked how we did that with just my iPhone attached, but together we produced content for over 100 episodes of our online talk show ...
