This morning I was walking the dogs and ran into an old friend and so we walked and talked a little together as I was not headed out for a long one and he was headed home. I was recounting my story of late, the rise and feared fall of the LaLa and I said, “What was I thinking when I did this? I thought I was all that.” And he responded in perfect timing,…
I’ve had simply an amazing day that all started with chaos and through the storm of more LaLa maintenance I received four very wonderful things into my life – a visit from a friend who has been traveling around (now that she’s a celebrity), a call from someone I respect telling me how I might get money from a tax credit the federal government offers, a call from another guy I adore telling me some…
I was walking with a good friend yesterday and talking about my latest undertakings and I told her about some Cassandras coming out of the woodwork, and she said, “It’s frightening to have someone at middle age decide to do something outside the norm, outside convention.” I wonder all the time about what in this life of mine is cliche and what is original, is there anything left in the world truly unique. I use…
Last night a few of us gathered by the banks of the bayou and had some cocktails and some laughs then we ordered a pizza. A guy was happening by and we struck up a conversation and he pulled up a chair. He was half our age but he hung out with us the entire time and seemed to dig it – he participated intelligently in our conversation, voice his opinion, laughed and ate pizza.…
A few people I know and love said some interesting things to me over the last year that helped guide me in my next steps. The message was heard loud and clear, if you don’t like your life, change it, but be creative enough to envision a life of your own making. And so began the crawling, baby steps, and now strides towards making that all come true. We went live on our VRBO, AirBnB…
We went by Fatoush because Tin wanted to go “to a restaurant and eat cake, chocolate and cookies.” I said I know just the place, Fatoush Coffee and Juice Bar. Then we went over to Cafe Istanbul where we had just missed Henry Butler rehearsing. The microphones were still live so Tin sang a song for us, first It’s A Wonderful World and then You Are My Sunshine and then C’est Si Bon, and ended…
Expand Your Reality Expand your reality to the point where you pursue what you love doing and excel at it. Involve yourself in high-energy levels of trust, optimism, appreciation, reverence, joy, and love when you engage in every activity in your life. Dr. Wayne W. DyerÂ
So we’re watching For the Love of Ivy and there is just one thing I have to say – OMG. Are you kidding me? Why did I not see this movie before?
A friend of mine owns a beach house that has lost two thirds of its value, a double she rents out and wants to get rid of because it’s always something and has a pool that was just installed at her house that is causing her nothing but anguish because it was installed improperly. I said, well I don’t want to be comforted by your misery, but somehow I am. As I went in and…
Yesterday, when Tin got home from school he didn’t want to go outside, he wanted to build a tent out of his bunk beds. So I tucked the covers into the top mattress and while I was doing that he got involved with his train and started choo choo’ing around the room. So I snuck in behind the tent. I thought I’d be there for a moment only but then I was fascinated by watching…
