I have had three Valentine’s in my life. When I moved to LA I dated a man for two months. Our first date was the weekend before Valentine’s Day. It’s always exciting to meet men who are mature, have similar interests and can carry a good intellectual conversation. At the end of the date he…

Mindful Monday #1 – Love
Introducing Mindful Mondays. Every morning I read a quote, mantra or coda to start off my day. I love a good quote. I am always searching for good lines of truth everywhere I go. I even keep a “Life Line Journal” that is full of great quotes from movies, music, books and conversations I’ve…
Cleansing My Soul
Last week I was on location in Houston. (This is the third time I have been on location in almost eight years since I have been in the industry and it’s the first time I have been on location since I have been in LA.) This show has been many firsts for me. It is the first…

Home for the Holidays
“We don’t remember days, we remember moments.” -Cesare Pavese Coming home for the holidays had a deep meaning for me since I moved to Los Angeles. My first visit home was for Thanksgiving in 2010. It had been two months since I moved, yet the move itself made home feel foreign. My life completely changed. …
Out with the Mold
“This used to be my saying.” My LA Spiritual Sister liked the quote and responded, “it’s still mine.” She still uses this quote today? I thought. “’I’m pretty sure I would still use the quote now. But I haven’t said it in a long time because I am surrounded by people whose opinions I value.” …
