For three weeks this summer, my husband and I relished the 21-Day Meditation Experience by Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey, called “Desire & Destiny”. We are so grateful to Oprah and Deepak for these incredible free meditations. We’ve been doing them for over three years now, and we have no doubt we’re different people: more relaxed, more peaceful, […]

Today I had a huge realization about my relationship to my mother, which was spectacularly surprising. Hadn’t I already been through the ringer about my childhood? Seriously, I’ve already wept so many tears over my unkind domineering mother, what else is there to discover? And, by the way, who cares? Doesn’t everyone have a past […]

One of my favorite pastimes is watching movies I find on Netflix. I search for actors I love to watch, especially if it’s an intense drama. Then you know you’re going to see an incredibly character-driven performance, where these talented actors really go for it. Always interesting to see well-known actors in an indie movie! […]

  I recently saw this movie called Trumbo and I loved it, since it’s one of my favorite kinds of movies. It’s based on a real person’s life set against the backdrop of a well-known event in American history. Trumbo is about one screenwriter’s story during the time of the Hollywood Black List.

Even though I had to wait two months for my colonoscopy consult, I thankfully managed to enjoy my summer and get lots of proactive things done on my acting career: new head shots, which I posted on all the casting sites + my website, helped my husband create his new website, and enjoyed putting together […]

Today is the day I’ve decided to make an appointment for my colonoscopy. Maybe that’s no big deal to you, but as a perfectionist with White Coat Anxiety, this day is fraught with all sorts of land mines. Just thinking about going to a doctor’s office makes me break out into a sweat. Everywhere I […]

Do I Really Have To Do This? Getting older really sucks! And if you let it, you can become obsessed with doubt and fear. I’m so not ready for this!! Aaarrgghh. I mean, come on, back when our parents turned 50, they didn’t have to do colonoscopies and they were fine. So my chances are […]

We’re always on the lookout for a great production of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”. Rich was blessed to play the role of Macbeth during grad school, so it always brings back amazing memories! Thankfully, an actress friend of mine, Allison Volk, had mounted an extremely well-done version of “Macbeth”, so we jumped at the chance to see […]
