Over the past few years, I've had the amazing privilege of meeting, engaging, and talking to various people from around the world. Some engagement was fleeting, like the touch of a butterfly's wing but the moment is still precious to the memory of meeting that person. Others have left an everlasting impression on my life as a human being, as a person who struggles to make sense of the world around her.
Bonnie Chapman.
Many may know her as Beth and Duane 'Dog' Chapman's daughter. We got to watch Bonnie grow up on the hit tv series 'Dog the Bounty Hunter' but, what many don't know, is that Bonnie is a beautiful soul. After losing her mother Beth on June 26, 2019 to cancer, Bonnie reveled to the world, just how narcissistic her father truly was and it was through this, that I found a kindred spirit. While we don't talk every day, the little bits of engagement we do give each other, is more than enough. For me, I consider Bonnie a sister. A beautiful spirit whose had to overcome the loss of a mother and best friend. All the while having to keep herself grounded without any help from those around her, save her sister Cecily. I whole heartedly support this beautiful woman in her newest business venture Huntress Boutique and wish her and her sister, the success they so deserve. To both girls, your mother would be so, so very proud of the amazing and genuine women you've become.
Rhona Mitra.
How does a person explain a near instant connection with someone whom they've never met in person but connected strongly with, through a fictional character? How do you explain the connection you feel with someone who seems to share the same 'I want off this planet now - I'm not from here' values? Rhona is the most beautiful spirit I've ever had the honor of engaging with whenever she's done Instagram livestreams. While some of the things she believes in, may not align with my own (such as rodeo), as she has said "We can disagree on things and still be friends" and I firmly believe that to be the case. For me, growing up, I was never given a horse to ride that had a bit in it's mouth. Oh no. I was thrown onto the back of a temperamental Shetland Pony who thought he was more bronco than pet. But it was through this mutually strong love of horses, that I began keeping up with her and soon, realized she was running a rescue in Uruguay and decided to keep up with not only her but her rescue and it was in doing this, I realized, somehow, I'd found a soul sister. Her belief that we, as humans, have lost our ability to connect with animals, is something I've agreed with strongly. We have. We've lost our ability to not only speak to them, but to understand them. It's why, I wholly support The Last Ark Orphanage.
Christopher Heyerdahl.
Chris made an everlasting impression on me when he portrayed Wraith Commander, Todd. I never knew I could laugh so hard but, discovered I could by watching Stargate Atlantis and then subsequently, Van Helsing. When he portrayed Marcus Volturi, I realized rather quickly, that his personality, as an actor resonated with me. I have found that he is an easy going person, who, when he engages with a fan, it comes from a place that's genuine, which often times, is not the case with other actors. Most find engaging with fans to be a tedious task, one they don't particularly enjoy. But with Chris, I have found our engagements to be one filled with friendly banter, laughter, and an easy going friendship. Now, I just need to convince him to come over for a coffee because, being born in British Columbia, I wonder if he's been to this neck of the woods lol!
Michael Sheen.
Michael is the kind of guy that I swear, anyone can laugh with (or at because David and him's friendship makes me swear them two are brothers). I have found the engagement with him to be one filled with encouraging words, from someone who I genuinely believe, could be an amazing friend. His portrayal of Lucian, cemented how I would forever want and wish to be treated by a partner. No, I don't want my partner to go on a murderous spree lasting decades, but it'd be nice to be fought for in the same manner in which I would fight for my partner. And seeing his banter with David, has made me miss the brother bond, I never truly had with my own siblings growing up. He's genuinely the brother I never got and got screwed out of having, which I heckin protest!
