I woke up the other day feeling sort of “off.” I knew I had a lot on my mind, a lot of pressing responsibilities, decisions, pressures I was feeling. When I get like this I feel sort of “up against a wall.” I have learned that if I don’t stop and let my subconscious have [...]
In the mid-1970’s, my parents became obsessed with a clean colon. My mother, a “happy eater” and daily drinker believed bran could cure all. My father, a devoted runner and equally dedicated alcoholic, drank yeast mixed with orange juice and a raw egg every day. Whole grains (bran, oats, flax seed, wheat), vegetables, and nuts [...]
This was a post I wrote for my blog called “Confessions of a Mad Soap Star.” I thought it was particularly pertinent to this time, as we are in the process of choosing leaders, not just in politics but on many stages. Some of these “dreams” have been met, but not others, and certainly [...]

No one is more surprised than me at the incredible response my comments on PP garnered. 99.9% of them positive. I think I touched a nerve. A nerve that goes deep into what we are experiencing together culturally. The average person feels as if they are losing out to those with more power, and that [...]
Everyone asks me, “Doesn’t writing take so much discipline?” I say, “well, yes it does, but everything else worth having does, too.” Think about it, doesn’t it take restraint not to yell at a stranger when you are really angry? That’s discipline. Or to NOT eat the entire carton of low fat ice cream, even [...]
