Taurus, the bull, is the next in line on the zodiac, and they are definitely one of the more sensual signs of the zodiac.

The Taurus Zodiac Sign: An Overview
Taureans like to maintain an organized life with systems in place for everything. This is definitely a sign that is consistent and highly reliable. Sometimes they can be too loyal and dedicated which causes them to stay in situations longer than they need. This sign belongs with the other two Earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn) but is the most indulgent of the three. Meaning they live their lives in the laps of luxury and comfort. Any reality where they can manifest this is ideal for a Taurus.
However indulgent they may be, one thing a Taurus does not play about is their money. They are extremely hard-working people, who are not afraid to do what needs to be done. A Taurus can be incredibly ambitious, focused, and resilient, and feel most aligned when they are stacking aways major cash in the bank. This Earth sign can be both gentle and fierce, however, do not try to boss them around. They have very strong opinions because they spend lots of time meticulously deconstructing situations. They look at every angle to see how something works and when they have made up their mind, they are unmovable in their decision. All in all, Tauruses are dependable and are the type of friend or lover that is trustworthy and devoted.

RELATED
The film follows Faith Mitchell, a wife and mother whose life is upended by a devastating loss. As she spirals into despair, it’s the love of family, friends, and God that slowly leads her back to light. And for Paula, this story wasn’t just a role—it was personal.
“It connected to a time in my life that I could really relate to,” she says. “That feeling of having lost so much and feeling like so much pain, and not knowing how to deal with the pain… and numbing out to do that.”

A Story That Hit Close to Home
Having been sober for seven years, Paula says the emotional territory was familiar. But more than anything, it brought her closer to a deeper truth.
“Once you give [the numbing] up, you have to walk in the desert alone… and that’s when I truly found faith in God.”
Turning Pain Into Purpose
While the film touches on loss and addiction, Finding Faith ultimately lives up to its title. Paula describes the acting process as cathartic—and one she was finally ready for.
“Art became healing,” she says. “That was the biggest challenge of all… but it was a challenge I wanted.”
More Than an Inspirational Thriller
Finding Faith is described as an “inspirational thriller,” with layered tones of romance, suspense, and spiritual reflection. Paula credits that dynamic blend to writer-director LazRael Lison.
“That’s what I love about Finding Faith,” she explains. “Yes, she goes on this journey, but there’s other storylines happening that help it stay entertaining.”

On-Set Magic with Loretta Devine
With a cast stacked with phenomnal talent—Loretta Devine, Keith David, Stephen Bishop—it’s no surprise that the film also came alive through unscripted moments.
“We did this kitchen scene… and Loretta changed it,” Paula shares. “She wouldn’t leave. I had to change my dance and figure out how to work with it, and it took on this whole other layer. I’m forever grateful.”
Faith When It Feels Like Night
The film leans on the biblical verse: “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Paula says that reminder is something she’s lived.
“When you’re feeling so anxious, and you look out in the distance and see nothing there… that’s when you have to trust God’s timing.”
Divine Timing Behind the Scenes
Paula didn’t just star in the film—she produced it through her company, Third Eye Productions. And the way the opportunity came to her? Nothing short of divine.
“I said, ‘Just for one week, believe everything’s going to be perfect,’” she recalls. “That same day, my friend Charles called and said, ‘I have a film for you. It’s called Finding Faith.’ I thought I was going to throw the phone down.”
What’s Next for Paula Patton?
When asked about a dream role, Paula didn’t name a genre or a character. Her focus now is on legacy—and light.
“I want to make sure I keep making art that entertains people, but also has hope… That it has a bright light at the end to get us through this journey here on Earth.”
