Doing Stand - Up
I did the therapy circut first before I knew about stand up - I would go from therapist to therapist and I’d kill every time and then I would pay them! It wasnt until one night at a party in NYC that I smoked some really good weed (back in the day when I did that and it was good) and as I was standing there in a crowded noisy packed room talking to my friend when I saw on the back of my...
Space ~ Free
The moon is happy because it has so much space to BE. I am so thankful for the space I have in time and place to BE. I let it all go and have fun doing what excites my soul. Saw fantastic German movie called “Soul Kitchen” Loved it.

Sticking to my routine - keeping my focus - put on a few pounds and it looks cute on me - most importantly my body is healthy, rested, and strong. Dig?
STOP MAKING NEW STUFF!
IM GETTING OCD WITH RECYCLING I MEAN EVERYTHING IS RECYCLEABLE!… SERIOUSLY IM OBSESSED! I LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT WORRIED ABOUT THE TWISTY TIE THAT GOES AROUND THE BREAD IM LOOKING AT IT LIKE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY GET WRAPPED AROUND A FROGS KIDNEY! THAT A FISH COULD MISTAKE MY CREST WHITE STRIP FOR FOOD! THAT IS NOT GOOD. WE HAVE TO STOP MAKING NEW STUFF-WE HAVE TO MUCH STUFF-I MEAN WHY...
Permaculture
I went to hear Starhawk speak in downtown L.A. She spoke about many things in relation to “the edge” She shined light on the importance of walking the edge pertaining to the learning curve - that scary uncomfortable place we walk when learning something new - the place where you can fall - the place where growth happens - and where the best feeding is for so many animals not in the forest but at...
Enjoy the ride....
Here’s my hunnybun Osiris enjoying the ride - on our way to our favorite hike.
Retaining...nothing....
I studied my lines yesterday and then again at the audition itself while I waited but as soon as they called me in and the cameras were rolling - gone were the lines from my head! Where did they go? Maybe I forgot to breathe so the lack of oxygen shut my brain down? Whatever it was its done and its a gorgeous day and Im happy for the experience.
A wonderful evening...
I never before really focused on Jimmy Kimmel and going to his show last night opened my eyes to the amazing talent that he is. I was so happy to have been able to be back stage and give my music/cd to him, Dame Helen Mirren, and Jeff Bridges along with homemade organic gluten free :o) oatmeal cookies. It was a-lot of fun. Driving home through the “Gay-borhood”, West Hollywood, is...
My Beautiful Rage-My Battle with "Crohn's Disease"...
My Beautiful Rage-My Battle with Crohn’s Disease
In the midst of Crohn’s Disease my body literally was in pieces. It was as if I had swallowed a nuclear bomb and my insides were blown apart. At times I was sure I was being punished for something I must have done in a past life. The pain, the searing pain was payback. My thoughts were morbid. I would try to distract myself by counting the tiles on...
Cooking
I cook every meal because I love to and I love having control over every ingredient - craving chocolate frosting and I had an idea - extra virgin coconut oil, coco powder, stevia or palm sugar, and avocado. Sound good?
Time?
Its been changed about and at this point my internal clock with the added caffinne is way off. 3am and Im fiending for morning sun and another cup of “devil juice” as the mormons call it. De-eh-val juice. Like that.
Into the unknown
Im reaching into the crevices deep into the cracks of google search for articles and information-this is what I do on my search for calming the immune system naturally. I am determined to figure out how to heal myself from Crohns disease. I am simultaniously breathing and loving life-appreciating every bit of it as I know what a blessing it is to be here to be alive. Soon its time for my...

Eat, Pray, Love-very good things to live live by - its the little things we do that keep us grounded simply being present saying thanks for the food we eat and enjoying it - praying which for me is listing all the things I am grateful for and sending loving healing energy out into the world and opening myself up to receive it all back - loving yourself repairing the child within, doing what you...
Amazing beautiful day - soft warm puppy by my side - about to get acupuncture - in my livingroom - must stretch myself today in every way - om shanti peace ox

I just cant take these news headlines-Biggest Sting Ray Ever-Captured! Captured? Why? Why not leave it the hell alone!? I don”t get it! How child like-I remember as a kid being in the woods and finding a turtle thinking I want it - its mine-Im taking it - and then justifying it by thinking this turtle was alone in the woods and now it has me and a bathtub to live in how lucky can a turtle get?!...
Life Energy
Its all around we are all energy and sometimes I feel that it waivers thin and I must have more of it - its so precious - but in order to have more I must make it by resting and keeping a clean diet. As some of you know I had long suffered with Crohn’s Disease. I was first diagnosed and hospitalized at 19 due to deep ulcerations on my insides. I was put on many medications and was re hospitalized...

My new song “Grace”
Beautiful day...
I have a strange feeling with the time change - it throws me - I don’t know or understand what time it really is and then - does it really matter? We are a time obsessed species - we know how fast the earth spins the clocks change the months pass and our bodies change. I look to nature and see the peace in all this the beauty in all this the 400 year old trees and how powerful and amazing...

Happy New Year!
Its an amazing year already-I see and feel the universe presenting its abundance and opening itself up to me. I am turning indulgence inwards as a change from outwards-remembering what my bliss is and returning to it.

Real Change in the New Year
As we enter this new year let us be the change we wish to see in the world. Let us all step fully into consciousness and wisdom knowing how important each one of us is and powerful of an impact we each have as individuals. I urge you to ONLY buy products that HAVE NOT been tested on animals this includes EVERYTHING from your home cleaners to laundry detergent to make up, shampoos etc…The way...
