on TWO GIVEAWAYS IN A ROW? AM I CRAZY? YES. Also updates.

Internet. Friends. Where has the blogging gone?! It seems I've been a touch busy lately and one of the many reasons is that there little photo above ^^^.

Some of you know that I've been life and career coaching for awhile now. However, a few months ago, I buckled down (that phrase always cracks me up) and committed to it. I set out a goal, I wrote out guidelines, I free wrote ideas, and I just went for it. And then something really cool started happening: I got clients. Like, a lot of them. And the more I coached, the more they told their friends and peers, and boom. Magick. I'm mostly coaching actors (aspiring and professional), artists, bloggers, and creative types. However, I've now coached a variety of careers and people, and feel confident I can work with almost anyone. I'm also creating a little something special for bloggers, so stay tuned** :)

I think it's important to address that I'm still first and foremost an actor. If I gave up on my own dreams and path, then I couldn't help others reach theirs. Plus, I'd be hella jealous (hella? where did that come from? did I just time travel to 1995?) as I helped other people toward their dreams if I wasn't living mine. I'm also still working for the design company in LA, and love them and the company. That may sound like a lot, but a few months ago, I had six jobs so three feels like a freaking vacation of awesome.

Here's the exciting part: I launched a website and a facebook page! They are not perfect, the logo is messy, and I haven't decided on a domain and lots of other things my ego wants to tell you. But the important part was just doing it. Taking the action. Which is pretty much always the important part. So to celebrate that, I'm having a giveaway! Enter below to win a free one-hour coaching with me. You can live anywhere in the United States, as I coach via skype and phone. Sorry to my international friends, but I haven't expanded that far. Yet.

**if you're a blogger and are interested in being part of the test-run, email or tweet me! we'll do sessions for free in exchange for being a really beautiful guinea pig.

on MUCH MORE THAN ME (& a GIVEAWAY!)

Sometimes you just stumble onto something so cool, you can't believe you hadn't heard of it before. That's what happened with Much More Than Me. As soon as I got to the website I was in shock I hadn't ever been there before.

Much More Than Me is an amazing company that was founded "out of a joint desire to give people a creative way to advocate for acting with greater compassion toward human beings and animals". To that end, Much More Than Me has a shop full of awesome t-shirts, and for each one purchased, a percentage of the sale is donated to a cause. And even cooler yet, is that you get to select what organization to donate to, from a great list of options. While MMTM was founded from the core passion to advocate for rescue animals, they support and promote lots of organizations. So, in short, you pick your tee, and you pick where you want your donation to go. Plus, you get to join ranks with the celebrities and actors that support the company. Win-win-win.

One of the co-founders of MMTM was incredibly generous and sent me the Rafferty Reasons t-shirt, which I (honestly) wore four days in a row. Yes, that's right, four. Mainly because it's so incredibly comfortable, but also because I was so honored to wear such a great message around town.



You have a chance to win your own t-shirt from Much More Than Me! If you win, you'll get to select the item you want. Make sure to enter below, and to follow them on their Facebook page and Twitter (definitely find the coupon code currently being offered, too).

Please note: this giveaway IS open to International followers :)
