The Story Circle changed the whole game for me. To un-cliche-ing ‘Our Hero’s Journey’.
Creative DO’s
Pro-tips for all the creatives reading this. I like that, except item #2, all statements are positives, i.e. they begin with an empowering action or a “do”instead of a negative restriction, or “don’t” … A subtle difference, with a profound impact.

Proud to be a Bowie Fan
If you missed John Peck’s insightful and poignant reflections on What Your Favorite Classic Rock Band Says About You, please do yourself a favor and correct that mistake ASAP.

You Say it’s Your BIRTHDAY! (na-na-na-na-na-na)
*****Inside Joke Note: Many moons ago, when Gwenyth and I first met at a company conference, I (unwittingly) refused to called Gwenyth by her actual name the entire week…. cheerfully exclaiming “Lucy!” (IMD, I swear I heard her say “Hi, I’m Lucy, …” when we met) as I hugged her at each happy encounter. She […]
in Kings news today….
Hindsight is truly 20/20. Case in point: Ilya Kovalchuk and my Kings wish last summer. I’d lusted after the Kings securing Kovi, & lusted hard so I didn’t hide my bitterness with Kings mgmt when we lost the sign then didn’t get Ilya back on the rebound. I think I even called Dean Lombardi an […]

GoodReads Review: Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom
Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom by Keltie Colleen My rating: 5 of 5 stars This uniquely personal yet universal autobiography in progress should be required reading for every girl out there.

iambicentric
TRUE STORY: Between 4th & 6th grades I would spontaneously & unintentionally start speaking in iambic pentameter, sometimes for days on end, unable to stop myself. I’d begun reading from ‘The Complete Shakespeare’ daily at the start of 2nd grade & suspect this detail may have a causational relationship with the later iambic affliction.

Everyone in this town has an agent
When the boy-bestie told me he had an agent (and one that he was having dinner with no less) 3 months earlier he said i couldn’t laugh. I told him it was too late, there was diet Dr Pepper coming out my nose already. This from the guy who doesn’t trust agents outside of the […]
