I started off my day running in circles in the mud with our neighbor doggie Choas. Amber pouted when she saw my muddy feet and said it was “too early for this.” Of course as a dog it is never too early to have fun, and it is never too late.

Amber went shopping again yesterday and her wardrobe has more than she could possibly need, but it is one of her true fun things to do. Her focus is on her shoe collection right now, and there are way too many to chew on. I can’t count how many shoes she has in her closet, but she is running out of space. Before her shopping she had a massage at the salon, and felt a lot more relaxed for her nocturnal endevours.

Amber went out last night and saw a speaker talk about life experiences, strength and hope. It was really insightful. Her friends Weronika and Erin and Brian went with her. After the talk, they went out and had the best yoghurt in town: Minchee’s. They piled on flavor after flavor of the treat and Amber’s favorite was pumpkin and peanut butter. It was really nice to be with her friends and she loves the moments that happen when they are least expected. Her friends are a wonderful contribution to her life and she doesn’t take any friendship for granted. The conversations and things she learns from her friends provoke her thoughts and stimulate her within. There are friendships that are broken from Ambers past, and those matter to her just as much to her. You can erase a number but never a memory. Building integrity and character strength takes practice and work, and Amber always does the best she can to educate herself on what makes her tick—and how to make it better daily. A Psalmist once said “ Search your own heart with all diligence for out of it flow the issues of life.” Ambers heart has the best intentions and she knows that because if she herself could choose a friend she would choose herself. She is also a good mommy to this dog- and there are often times when my behavior is completely unacceptable to the outside person.

Amber misses her girl Allie, and is counting down the days until Christmas when they will snuggle under the tree.



Tonight Amber is going to her film premiere for DEAD FRIDAY. It’s a horror film directed by Dennis Devine that Amber acted in. Amber is both nervous and scared to see herself on the big screen. It is not hard for her to tear herself apart, but she is NOT going to put herself down after any compliments anyone gives her. She is breaking the habit of pointing out what she did “wrong” rather than celebrating what was “right.” She is also going to enjoy the process. Acting is the fun part, and this is the result. So it really should be a celebration.

She loves her friend Katia, and Lisa and they are going with her to support her with their girl power. Katia just finished acting with Amber in Hookers for Jesus, and details about that shoot are coming soon.

Igor Kovacevich is also going to give his support. Everyone loves a good film premiere, right? So why does this doggie have to stay home? Amber said there will be too much fake blood for my eyes to see and that I would be way too scared and doggie nightmares can be the worst.
