These past few weeks, I've contemplated my direction, goals, and spirituality. While I decided to keep the same goal of spreading love and laughter to others, I've consciously chosen to change how I keep score. I thought about my roots as a comedian and how they differ from the spiritual journey I'm...
I did the unthinkable last Friday. I scheduled a "play date." Now, I know for many of my clients, "play date" has a totally different connotation, so this wasn't THAT kind of a play date. 😈 This was a creative play date. I bought some Shrinky Dinks, and my friend Sylly and I spent the afternoon colo...
I’m the current president of our condo association, and we have a situation in which the licensed condo association manager is retiring. We received 40 resumes. 15 had the required licensing. 10 didn’t call us back when they found out it was a nudist community. 5 came in for an interview. 3 were not...
A dear friend of mine has been going through some major life changes this past year, including the death of her husband and a significant change in employment. She's been slowly replacing her "stuff" and social media profile with things that are pink. In a class I'm taking, there was mention that pe...
My cousin, Michael, and I were 9 years apart, but I adored him growing up. We both loved watching Sha Na Na. He was a big Bowser fan. Life took us to different places, but when we caught up with each other as adults, I was surprised we had a lot of things in common, including parallel spiritual j...
When I did standup comedy, I had a routine I'd follow: Arrive at the show 30 minutes before the doors open. Set up my keyboard. Put on my corset. Enjoy a shot of Crown Royal (unless I was stressed, then two, three, or four shots of Crown Royal). When I completed all three, I was good to go!
Now tha...
I had a situation at my condo association that sucked away 15 hours of productivity last week. While the couple in question claimed "they just wanted this problem solved," they took their complaints to Facebook, destroyed someone else's property when they didn't get their way, framed another residen...
I'm president of our condo association, and last week, I had a resident inquire about purchasing a 6 ft fiberglass dinosaur for the common area behind her building. I suggested she contact her building neighbors for their opinions, as a 6 ft fiberglass dinosaur would directly impact their views. As ...
I don't like admitting this, but even though I'm a reasonably high-functioning person, I have spent much of my life struggling with weight, self-esteem, and perfectionism. My childhood was relatively uneventful. I wasn't abused. I wasn't molested. I had parents who loved me. But in my

This past Saturday, I had the honor of recognizing 75 volunteers in our community for their positive contributions. Whether they painted picnic tables, played live music for potlucks, or served on any number of committees, all of these people gave a piece of themselves to make our community better,...
In October of 2019, I decided I wanted to learn belly dance. I had some issues moving after not exercising for so long, so the dance studio receptionist recommended I get an "Unlimited Classes" membership and try another class called NIA. When I asked her to describe the class, she said, "It's kind ...

The Hypnotic Pull of Everyday Influences
You might think hypnosis is something reserved for magicians or therapists. But what if I told you that you're being hypnotized every single day? Your parents, friends, advertisers, salesp...
