Do you know all of your capabilities? What are you good at doing? What are your goals? Even if you have done the same thing for the past 20 years, there may be something else that you are good at. Life is about evolving. It is never too late to try something new. I have been a musician for decades, I am a retired fashion model and athlete, I traveled and toured for more than a decade on the road as a live performance musician with a band and recording choir. From New York and across states and into the Caribbean I have made my mark. Television and music production come easy in our family and it’s been a way of life. From appearing several times on B.E.T. to achieving three successful seasons on Bravo TV, the Tankards have been a moving force in both industries. But now, after raising three children and at this time in my careers, I feel that I can push further to do something else. Recently, I have revisited my acting skills and now my focus is on film. Right now I am working on writing for film and it keeps me busy. Satisfaction never comes when it involves me discovering my abilities. Even though, writing has been one of my favorite past times, it did not occur to me that working on a film project was in the cards for me. Thanks to a friend who pushes me to be better and to discover new things, I am writing for a television project.
Take some time to re-invent yourself and dig deeper to see what else that you can do or try. Keep moving, do not get stagnate. Keep striving to be the best version of yourself. Until the next post, dig deeper!
