The Deena Show : Christmas, 2011

Dec 25, 2011

Christmas, 2011

Among my favorite gifts today were an iPod touch, a Dwight K. Schrute bobble head, a sweater I've been wanting from Urban Outfitters and a big candy unicorn horn. Last night's favorites were a Legend of Zelda bag and a canvas painting of my dog.

I love Christmas eve. It's fun and feels special and you know there is still more to come. Christmas morning is always a little cozy, a little magical and a little anticlimactic. Because when the day is over, then what? There's that awkward week in between leading up to New Years Eve then when January 1st hits it's back to real life and the cozy magical time is over and it's time to get back to work. And usually with a burst of extra vim and vigor. Christmas day begins the reflection for me, and I already start thinking of what I'd like to take with me into the New Year. I will write a lengthier blog wrapping up this year but for now there are a few things I'm going to be mulling over and trying to apply starting now and into 2012.

Hello!

Welcome! My name is Deena Marie Manzanares. Because I think it's far more interesting to know who people are, rather than what they do, let's start there. I'm a highly sensitive person who often felt my heart was made of glass, my nervous system on the outside, not meant for a world so harsh. Over the years I learned to harness life's alchemy to redirect my perceived weakness into my superpower. I am the softest warrior you'll ever meet.

I am a single mother to my son. I saw him in a vision years before he was even a possibility. Birth was the moment of my life. Housing the bones and soul of another is completely life-altering, and put all my priorities in just the right places. He is the greatest love I've ever known.

I'm an actor, model, and tv host. Theatre, and storytelling are sacred to me. As an actor, and as an audience member I am able to dissipate into the whole. Relating to story reminds us we are not alone.

I am a member of Actors Equity Association, and represented by Talent Management Group. I'm brand ambassador for business Got Beauty. I am associate artist with the Sting and Honey theatre company. I am a tv host for ABC4.

Over the years I created a large social media following after an extremely popular YouTube channel(s).

I am a shapeshifting poet. My heart comes in many forms. My words, my poetry, my art, my exchanges with you. I'm in progress. I am a giant heartbeat, I am learning, I am sharing it with you here...
