After my last blog of self-reflection and bemoaning over my lack of action in showbiz at my advanced age of 54 years, I have decided to submit my one woman show in a solo festival. If I make the cut it will be produced, mounted and given all the bells and whistles (production, stage managing, marketing, a theater) that I have only dreamed about. It will become a reality! And it is kinda scary, but not too scary. I feel good about the work. I have a great team: Arlene Malinowski (the Empress of …
I’m getting old and I can’t deny it. Yet, still I dream of doing great things. Is that crazy?
I feel it more than I can deny it. It is in my bones, my muscles, in the number of things I have accumulated in my house. I think about death. I look back on my life and realize that I have advanced past the age to fulfill a lot of dreams. It's almost too late.

In case you haven't been following my blog, I was gifted workout sessions with a professional trainer to "save my life." And I was grateful. I …
Old Dreamers
This is a note to myself and others like me: underachievers, those with gifts who believe they haven't fulfilled their potential, those who have been writing a book, play, or dissertation, making a movie, recording a CD, going to a comedy open mic, opening a restaurant, going back to school and haven't done it yet. We know who we are. I have written about this shit for years: losing weight, writing my one woman show. And I reckon this is just another testament in a long series of promises I …
The Amazing Adventures of Permanent Lifestyle Change Girl Revisited
I just cut and pasted a blog post from MARCH 2009. I am talking the same shit as I did a year ago. OY!! Actually, I was a bit more positive and gentler with myself than usual and that is a good thing. Obviously, I need to apply a different approach to this adventure... or I'm gonna to continually promise to do the same thing every year as it pertains to my home and body and net no results. Wake up call! …
