GRATITUDE AND EXPECTIONS – yesterday quite a few BCs sent me super supportive and great audio messages for show 100. I was SO thrilled and excited it more than made up for the fact that another exodus from my blog subscription occurred. Gosh Laurie, how many times will it take before you let that ...

PAYING ATTENTION AND SYNCRONICITY – I expected another rainy day where I would get some exercise puddle stomping, but instead I was greeted with blue skies and starkly white perfectly puffy clouds as I trudged my way up the hills of my neighborhood. No boots required. I was listening to Alen’s latest episode on ...

RAINY DAY EDITING – actually is quite soothing. Tiger the Cat and I spent a lazy day getting the audio file for day 99 produced and the show notes ready to publish. I thought about exercising, but just didn’t feel like it. It was a day for wrapping up in blankets and drinking tea ...

ENJOYED MY HIKE – Honestly, I was SO tempted to skulk around, watching junk TV yesterday, because the prior day of voice acting took a lot out of me emotionally. BUT the predicted rainy/stormy weather is here today, and I knew yesterday IF I wanted to get Day 99 recorded from the mountain it ...

PROUD OF MY BRAVERY – Voice Acting was challenging as I had limited sleep the night before due to the Santa Ana winds rattling my cage all night, and the emotional demons rolling around in my head didn’t help. But as wrote yesterday, come what may, I intended to focus on the moment and ...

DECISIONS AND THE ROBOT ALIENS – yesterday I reached out to a podcasting friend and was able to share some of my feelings and concerns. It felt great to be heard and understood, and it helped quite a bit. I also made some decisions to let go of a few commitments, not to do ...

GARDENS AND NATURE can certainly improve my mood. Yesterday, I realized the mini-vacation to Ventura had lifted my mood, but that my return home snapped it back down into the dumps. So off I took myself to Descanso Gardens before my therapy appointment. As I said yesterday, I was hoping to find an old ...

HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGETY-JIG – We returned from Ventura yesterday and noticed a dirty haze hanging over our mountains as we approached. Now usually, we have pretty good air quality, as the winds from our mountains blow the gunk down onto poor Burbank, in the valley. In fact, it was dirty enough, ...

UP THROUGH THE GOLDEN HILLS AND WOODS – yesterday Mark and I again mounted our bikes for an adventure. But this time we challenged ourselves to ride about 9 miles uphill and 9 miles back through the scenic and charming dedicated bike path from Ventura to Ojai (actually, we started partway up by parking at ...

BACK TO THE BEACH – yesterday Mark and I came back up to the coastal town of Ventura for some R & R. It is going awesome. Like I wrote yesterday, and said in my latest show, where I talk about depression, being outside – especially in sun – and moderately exercising are GREAT ...

HOORAY FOR ME! I hiked up the mountain and got Day 98 published.
I think I may be literally ‘climbing out’ of my depression. I faced two big hurdles during the weekend.
Pressure and corrective feedback in the sound booth
Climbing up a mountain, in HEAT, when it was hard to just roll out of bed
It ...

HIKING DAY – I didn’t get the most sleep, but good enough to try and get up the mountain to record Day 98. It will be a hybrid bonus episode I think. I don’t have energy for a full show prep, but I want to say hi to some new BCs and Suz sent ...

VOICE ACTING DAY – HooBoy, this will be challenging today. I go to my acting coach and then directly to my regular class for my mic work and critique. Critique is not easy for me on any day, though I have been making strides at thickening my hide and growing my balls to take ...

WHERE I’LL BE – Since I am dealing with another round of depression I need to guard my energy and fill my days with the most joy.

As I wrote in my recent blog entry about depression, until today, I used to post my daily mini status and my personal Body Balance number on ...

Not going to publish these statuses anymore as I can’t find a way to stop them from going to the email of the podcast note and blog subscribers. Don’t want to flood the email. Was hoping to be able to just have them here.*
