Some years ago, a dear friend of mine asked me how things were going.
“Everything’s great! Why do you ask?”
He then said he had noticed that I didn’t seem very happy. I was going through the motions, but without my usual joy and enthusiasm. He then got more personal and asked how things were with ...
Today’s blog is for myself. I’m in the midst of some major life changes. While I’m confident everything will be okay in the end, these next few months are going to be critical for me and my partner. We’re both being pushed beyond our limits in many ways, and it’s important we stay focused on our end...
As a comedian for nearly 19 years, I’ve navigated some pretty tough waters in comedy. Comedy is based upon “free speech” and “freedom of expression,” yet throughout my entire comedy career, I’ve been told what I can and can not say on stage.Â
Tip #1: I should work “clean.” No curse words. You don’t...
No! There. I said it. “NO.”
I hate saying “No.” I hate the feeling of disappointing someone I care about. I hate the feeling that I might be letting others down because I can’t jump right in and help out. I hate being put on the spot and the feeling of being pressured to do something I just don’t ...
Working as a hypnotist pretty much means I'll never have a dull day of work ever again. My clients spill their guts to me about injustices in their past, and oftentimes those guts include someone who has wronged my client. Whatever that person did, it affected their life significantly, and they're h...
As a writer and a hypnotist, I end up sitting a lot throughout the day. Sometimes, I have to set a timer to make sure I get up and move around! It’s really important to remain active. Our bodies were designed to move, so moving is a great way to honor your body. Diet and exercise are important partn...
Years ago, I was wide awake at 3 am and watched these two ladies dance and pitch their new workout program, Yoga Booty Ballet. Funky yoga and ballet? Sign me up! I bought the programs and began a new way of thinking about exercise and my body with Beachbody programs. One of the concept

Lately, I’ve experienced mental fog - big time! I’m juggling a lot of different projects right now, and my mind always seems to be racing from one thought to the next…and then poof! Whatever I was just thinking about is abracadabra…gone! We’ve all experienced mental fog. As a hypnotist, I help my cl...
Doug and I celebrated the 3rd anniversary of meeting each other this past Friday. We met through OKCupid.com, which is not all that different from how millions of others meet potential boyfriends and girlfriends. What was different about us was HOW we went about it.Â
I read a ton of books on how to...
Yesterday was an amazing day. Doug and I began our day having an amazing breakfast buffet with our “chosen family” at Paradise Lakes Clothing Optional Resort. We then headed to the pool area to relax. At 1 pm, the owners of the resort and several guests poured several bottles of Mr. Bubble into the ...
I think everybody has THAT song, that when they hear it, they are magically transported to another world. I know whenever I hear Anyway You Want It by Journey…I’m back in junior high (young people: it’s what we had before Middle School). Whenever I hear Bat Out of Hell by Meatloaf, I’m cruising the ...
Learn the art of agelessness!
For 18 years, I was a professional people watcher, also known as a “comedian.” I got paid to watch humans and report on the weirdness of what they do in the funniest way possible. After many years of training, I now simply walk into any room and, at one glance, can put...
