Well here's to new beginnings....

Hi! everyone this is my very first Blog! How exciting for me! i thought since im always writting in a journal , i would really put myself to the test by writting in a blog in hopes that because the world reads it i will accomplish more in my dreams and goals.Im here to speak and show you what im gonna do , how im gonna do it , and what the outcome will be in the end of what will be an accomplishment . Let me start by telling you about me as it goes...
My name is Maryann i live in Hollywood , I am a fashion designer , went to design school over 10 years ago and graduated and 3 months after i got my first job as a costumer for " Power Rangers ". I loved that job very much , i mean i was 25 years old graduated from design school , excepting the fact that everyone in design school would say that " its who you know in the film business! " , " Good luck girl , that business is tough! " , but i didn't care what anyone said i was determined to get there and lord in behold I did! I got in, it was the greatest feeling . I worked with Saban entertainment for about 5 years and then worked at various shows , when they needed extra costumers . I then realized that i wanted more for myself . I needed to feel independent. I was a mom and a wife and fulfilled my goals and dreams of working in the film industry but i wanted more . I had always wanted to be a clothing designer , but being that i had went to design school there were always clicks and i was never in the calvin klein , donna karen groups , i was in the avangard groups the crazy designers with the cloaks as jackets , vampire collars as wearable clothing , its probably the stuff that kids buy at Hot Topic . I knew I was in a different market but I didn't know where , or what catagory i would be in . Now! i have discovered that there are entrapenuers that just make their crafts and they dont have to be the same stuff all the time! I thought? Awesome! theirs my market! So here I am today making stuff I love to do , on my own time so theres no excuses and really loving life!
This year is my daughters last year in high school , shes a senior . what this means for me is some scary kind of feelings , but I also know that its new beginnings for everyone in involved , for my husband , for my daughter and for me. My daughter , she will be going to Cal-Arts after she graduates from high school , she's studying to be a film maker/ director for films and she's really good she's got already two scholarships on her belt and an media award from her school , and my husband he's a musician and found a gig that will allow for touring and playing out all around town not to mention being able to freely songwrite without problems so thats awesome , and then theres ME , well I can say that now i can put all the family stuff aside and actually focus on my own art , that I really love sooo much . So here i go! watch me soar!

Thanks for listening!
