Expression GreenExpressing the need for a healthy green lifestyle

I recently posted a blog titled “How I Know I Was Chosen” about my ups and downs of pursuing my career as an actress and the rejections that came with it. I haven’t had a major movie role yet nor graced the covers or pages of Elle magazine or Vanity Fair. So I asked myself, how can I use my unpleasant and emotional pursuit to be an actress to my advantage? I know I was chosen to be an actress but what can I do?

So one day my fiancee and I were sitting at home on the internet, me on my laptop and he on the desktop, and he mentioned to me about doing a perfume. I had considered doing a perfume eventually once I had launched my clothing line scheduled later for next year, but at that time I really never thought about it. So he tells me since I had just created my own website I should consider selling a perfume. It sounded like a good idea but I wasn’t sure if it would work. So I thought about the guy who was so-called suppose to be my acting agent and after a year, he never done anything for me which is what drove me to create my own website and put my name out there myself. If thinking about him and all of his false promises to get me an acting role drove me to creating my website, then if I think about all the other people who were suppose to help me or said I was pretty and never did anything to help my career, that would drive me to create this perfume.

So, I agreed to do the perfume but was stuck on what to call it. My fiancee suggested Chosen. I loved it and thought it would be perfect because I’v always known that God chose me to be an actress or he would not have given me the desire to be an actress when I was 10 years old. I figure, there are alot of other women who know they have a calling to do or be something great, but due to rejection or people not keeping their word, they wonder are they pursuing a dream that is really not going to happen . So I decided that having a perfume called Chosen will give women something to wear everyday that saids hey, I may not have gotten chosen for this movie role or I may not have gotten this promotion, but I was chosen to do this and I’m going to do it and be successful!

So, I figured out how to make my unpleasant pursuit to be an actress work to my advantage! Chosen by Valerie S. Green will officially debut on January 1st, 2009 exclusively on www.valeriesgreen.com .
