If you read my last blog about finding bliss and comfort while waiting for my delayed flight at the Athens airport, chances are, you then imagined me, spending the rest of my time in Greece sipping a cocktail on a pristine white, Santorini balcony, and watching the sun set over the Mediterranean. Uhm, no. That’s […]
DON’T CRY FOR ME SANTORINI
I wrote this (below) in December 2011 when I was visiting Greece. I never posted it because suddenly the difficult and all-encompassing holidays were upon me, and then, before I knew it, my book “Worth Fighting For” was released, and I was swallowed up. But I opened this up just yesterday and I liked it, […]
SLOW LEARNER
“Grief’s tough,” I tweeted the other day, along with this quote, “He did not say: You will not be troubled, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted; but he said: you will not be overcome.” Julian of Norwich I am amazed at how people manage to survive grief. I know they […]
I SAW MERCY LAST WEEK
Last Wednesday in New York City, I attended an open rehearsal of Complexions Contemporary Ballet. I love open rehearsals – you’re in the room with the dancers, there are no costumes, you hear them breathe, and the experience is up-close and personal. For the uninitiated, it’s a glimpse of what goes into making a performance. […]
HILARIOUS! WORST FIRST DATE EVER
I got a laugh out of this story, and hope that you will, too. And while I can’t confirm that it really happened, or not, the one thing I can say for this tale – it presents a sure-fire way to “break the ice”. And it’s worth repeating! If you didn’t see this on the […]
FACING THE FEAR
I’ve been teetering around the edges of what I might want to do. Not that I haven’t been busy writing books, and organizing my life, ranch, and causes. But, I’ve been looking at what I really might like to do. And there are a few things on the list. It’s been hard to think about […]

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, […]
