Breakdown? Breakthrough.
*I wrote this screenwriting blog series about 6 months ago–it took me this long to get the BALLS to post it.* After years and years of building a business, I shut everything down last year. I pulled the plug and walked away. It was sucking the life out of me. I didn’t recognize myself anymore. Who had I become? I call it my Jerry Maguire breakdown. Breakdown? Breakthrough. It...

What the World Needs Now

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

But we had a great sushi dinner first and a fun date with our very own Mr. Big’s. Today’s blog... 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
