I’ve decided what’s ailing me. I’m anxious, depressed and so, so tired. I’m anxious about the upcoming November 5th election, which will decide the fate of our democracy. I’m depressed that I can’t do more to affect the outcome than I’m capable of (and already am) doing, and I’m exhausted just thinking about what […]

I had the absolute best dream EVER about Deaken last night. I dreamed for what seemed like hours, and even during it said, “I am NOT leaving this dream!” I love all animals, and every pet I have ever shared my life with has held a special place in my heart. But Deaken

After we meet tomorrow to hash out the details, I’ll be writing a brochure for a local client and updating another piece I wrote for them years ago.

Today Donald Trump’s first criminal trial begins. I’m not getting popcorn ready. I’m not salivating. I’m waiting to see how the mainstream media (MSM) covers it. Because if the mainstream media just plays sound bites of DJT’s shenanigans and verbal denials and accusations, it isn’t doing its job! It’s going for

It occured to me last night that I have a third service offering that I haven’t thought of in years: voiceover! When I was in Hollywood (and later, when I returned to the Pacific NW), I was trained in voiceover (cartoon voices, commercial voicing, narrative voicing) by a consummate professional, Nigel Neale, who encouraged
