What the World Needs Now

Is more ukulele. My birthday was last week and my friend Glenn was visiting from California.  We were sitting in my kitchen and he said, “It’s your birthday, you should watch this video of Bohemian Rhapsody on the ukulele.”  So we did. And it was awesome. I had to share it with you. Jake says in his introduction “What the World Needs Now is More Ukulele”... Read More

It Ain’t About the Money ~ or is it?

My daughter & I were singing in the car the other day (and dancing at the red lights) when this Jesse J. song came on. Price Tag. Have you heard it yet? (I posted the video & lyrics below for you)  The first few lines of her song have been haunting me. “Seems like everybody’s got a price, I wonder how they sleep at night. When the sale comes first, And the... Read More

Yeah, I’m Lazy

I joke quite a bit about being lazy.  I get a lot done, but I also treasure my downtime.  My friends make fun of (and my daughters despise) my “one thing a day” rule.  I don’t like to be over scheduled, so I always build in plenty of time to relax, or if that’s just not possible when I’m working on a big deadline, I make sure to plan something FUN... Read More

Jsu Garcia Sundance Film Festival

I ran into the faaabulous Jsu Garcia at Sundance Film Festival and got to attend a screening of his new movie The Wayshowers, we chatted about the incredible energy at the festival and what it’s like to be in a Sundance lab (and work 1-on-1 with Robert Redford).

Let’s Get Loud

My friend Marci and I watched Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda this weekend. I miss them *so* much! (Sex & The City movie, in case you’ve been living on a deserted island and these names don’t sound familiar….) It was a long movie, I was out waaay past my bedtime! But we had a great sushi dinner first and a fun date with our very own Mr. Big’s. Today’s blog... Read More

Wanna Be a Billionaire?

Here’s a little Music Motivation for your Mad Skilz Monday: So, I can’t get this song outta my head… I find myself singing it all day long.  I had to search hard to find a “clean” version for you, cuz you know, my virgin ears….  I’ve posted the lyrics below the video, they are hilarious. Turn up your speakers, dance around your desk... Read More

Delivering Happiness

Favorite Funny Video Friday I was just listening to my interview with Zappos.com CEO, Tony Hseih, you can listen to the archive here. And I decided to go see what Tony was up to.  Apparently, during my “marinating”/retirement over the past months, I completely missed his book launch & the Happiness Bus Tour.  Luckily, I found this video which almost makes me feel... Read More

Rock Your Fireworks

My daughter and I watch VH1′s Top Twenty countdown every weekend, it’s our morning ritual. A cup of coffee, a roaring fireplace and good music.  Many of the videos we talk about, sometimes we get up and dance around the living room and sometimes a video will make me cry. This weekend that’s what Katy Perry did with this video “Firework”.  It says... Read More

Is That a Twinkle In Your Eye?

Good Morning!  Don’t you just love Fridays?  Even though I work from home and my schedule is pretty much whatever-whenever, there is something about Friday mornings that brings the magic of possibility each week.  A relaxed, yet excited energy comes over me and I can’t wait to get the weekend started. It’s like I have permission to goof off (which I do almost... Read More

Defying Gravity

“Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep. It’s time to trust my instincts. Close my eyes, and leap! It’s time to try defying gravity.” photo by Joan Marcus 2003 What is that feeling that rises up within me? Where... Read More
