An authentic, curious entrepreneur passionate about living life fearlessly, showing others you're never too old to do whatever the hell you want!As a country girl from Grapeland, Texas, the slow pace of life fostered creativity and entrepreneurial skills. I picked peas, sold'em and mowed cemeteries to earn extra coins, for Coach, Cole Haan, and Dooney & Burke ☺. Yes, I was that boisterous and inquisitive girl with expensive taste who spent hours talking to herself in the mirror planning a picture-perfect life. My upbringing taught me the importance of hard work, you get more flies with honey, and to never forget where you come from. "Cessily, be decent!" was my mom's favorite saying. So, for the first part of my life, I strived for just that and did what my parents expected. I was crowned Ms. Peanut Queen my senior year of high school and graduated with honors. I attended college, graduate school, and got a job shortly after graduation—that I wound up hating! Life is beautiful, yet complicated and unpredictable. In his late 40's my dad received a cancer diagnoses that hit my family hard. This gut-wrenching turning point illustrated the truth that life is short. Determined not to live unfulfilled, I took charge of my life, quit my job, and moved to New York City, the place of my dreams at 27. For me, NYC was all that and a bag of peanuts! I was thrilled to be working as an actor, in plays, soap operas and commercials. I also went from Ms. to Mrs. - I was feeling myself and loving EVERY minute. Despite not yet being 30, I began to hear the chatter of industry ageism. The thought of being categorized as "past my prime," was frightening because I was just getting started - and still wanted to test the waters in LA. Divine intervention stepped in and within a couple months my husband received a job offer in Southern, CA. The pressure in LA to look young and beautiful was 10 times worse than NYC.
