I am proud to serve as the Honorary Chair for PurpleStride New York City this year to benefit the critical mission of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. On April 21, I will join you and thousands of others in New York City to make a difference by supporting this important cause. Like many of you, […]

GRIEF S*%#S!
Warning! Sad blog follows. Don’t want to ruin your day, but maybe you feel like I do… It’s a cold, grey day in LA. And it fits my morose mood. It’s not typical. Usually in LA, the sun is shining, and the birds are chirping when I open my eyes and say, “My life […]
WILL DANCE FOR FOOD
What is it with me, and dancing? I love it. And it doesn’t matter what kind – Hip Hop, Greek dancing, Country, ballet… I love it all. It’s like the feeling, the music, gets into me, and makes it impossible for me not to move (Yes, I’m one of those people that, if you are […]
ABOVE ALL ELSE
My life is full of possibilities. I’m feeling like maybe, just maybe, I’m starting to heal. I’m feeling things I haven’t felt in over three years now, like, there are things I still care about. I’m starting to feel like myself again. The person who wants to approach her life with a kind of integrity, […]
SAINTLY BEHAVIOR
Okay. I prefer this picture not be spread all over the Internet – for obvious reasons. In this photo, I’m looking inside the cockpit of the aerobatics airplane, while Patrick, unbeknownst to me, is being a “bad boy” and acting like he’s posing with my butt cheek. Lovely. Of course, it was one of those situations that, […]
SHADOW DANCING
I sat down to write about how good I’ve been feeling this past week. How I feel like I’m sailing to the top of my challenges, that things are getting easier. Even when I go into a grocery store, or pass someone on the way into the bank – they smile at me. Really […]

Last night, I had a strange dream. First of all, I, we (whoever that was, and Patrick was there also), was in a stadium that was like another planet. And we, I, was trying to avoid getting killed by the polar bears that were stalking my pets, and me. […]
FIRST BEST ACTOR OSCAR EVER – THESPIS!
It’s Oscar time again, and I’m thinking about my recent trip to Greece and my discovery of who won the first Oscar for best actor. Luckily, I was guided by the wonderful, and effervescent Betsy Filiotis on my trips to the ancient ruins, a fantastically well educated volunteer at the Greek Archaeology Society. She made everything I […]
LOVE IT, NEED IT, OR LEAVE IT
My mother is moving into a Seniors Living apartment this month, into a space that is less than one-third the size of what she has now. This means she’s had to tackle the difficult process of whittling down the lifetime of “stuff” she has accumulated. And as I helped her in her last push of packing, […]
SHOES AND THE MEANING OF LIFE
I know I’m feeling better when I start to believe that cleaning out my closet will actually change my life. Or, if I get my office straightened and organized – I will then be in the position to rule the world. But when I’m feeling down, I have the over-powering, pervasive feeling that none of […]
