Defining Happiness



 Life is not about what is thrown at you; it’s what you do with it. Turn Life into living and laugh through it.
I Grew up in Texas with a two parents that had met in Dallas in the late fifties; Dad was a writer that came from Indiana with a degree in Forestry and PR, so he wrote about trees in Dallas?*?! for the Morning News.  Later went on and started an Ad Agency.
Mom was a Yankee moved to Dallas for Branif Airlines, she was a rebel, her real desire was to be a housewife and raise 6 children. Dad answered her dream after just 6 short weeks of meeting, they were married. That’s a funny story in itself, tell you about it sometime.
Since my dad always taught me that I was an Alexander, and will always do great things.  I set out to be an entrepreneur. I became a successful salon owner at such a young age, I wanted more, so I became an actress, then producer and then, divorced female.
 Struggling with my career of what do I do next and falling short in picking the right man.  I quit listening to my dad in my head, don’t try to be” Murphy Brown”, Do I become a nun? That was a real ahh ha moment, more like a ha ha moment. Then I figured it out. I am the first generation working mom.
Since,” Mad Men” and “Sound of Music” have already been done. I write about situational comedies. I did write a Dramedgy, that has been optioned and will film this summer. My scripts are about transitions’ in life.
Scenario - Young people learning from older peoples’ success and failure stories.
Being poor achieving a goal early in life and not knowing, but not being able to handle it when you get there.
Hence I write about hairdresser that dreams of helping people while achieving her dreamed double life and having it all.
