Cool accidental photo I phone snapped of the podcast rock itself. You don’t see the flies dive bombing my water though!

Lyrics

The spotlight, was burning like a flame
I was, a body and a name
And all the rest was gone

Trapped like a hermit in a cage
I left the others on the stage
And still the show went on

Take a bow, from the back of the crowd
It’s over now

And I now see
The world turns without me
My shoulders never bore the heavy burden
I was just another person

And the sun rose
Before the age of pharaohs
And after I am gone, another dawn will fill the sky
With no goodbye

I crave the comfort and control
Then chase the rabbit down the hole
And wonder why I’m lost

I build a palace so serene
Then douse it all with gasoline
I light a match and watch

Let it burn, without an ounce of concern
I never learn

[Chorus]

And I’m steering, away from what I’m fearing
But every twist and turn’s a new concern that burns my soul

The rudder’s rusted tight and I’m careening through the night
I let it go and take me where it will

[Chorus]

I expressed myself by painting from a young age. This painting was my first foray into using a palette knife with acrylic paint. I was inspired by my family’s many boat trips around the sound. I think I was about 10. This is the one painting of mine, I retrieved from Mom’s collection.

Podcast Recap

Time to change for the new year. New music, a new attitude and a new feature, called After Thoughts. Thanks to all of the BCs and Mark for participating in the holiday 2017 show. Our newest BC is Sarah from New York. Her blog, Mindfully Sarah is featured. Enjoy our new song, Circle by Hartley in its entirety.

Can’t give up selfies entirely in my diary. But I want to mix up my expression as we go.

Glad to be back on the podcast rock and surprised at what I’m letting go of today!

Podcast Recap

YAY! Wearing sneakers again, so back to the podcast rock. After hearing my surprising answer to Stéfanie’s secret topic of the day on Day 142, I’m inspired to clean up my subconscious. Comments following last show from Dawny and Stéfanie from Quebec. A great idea for us to be more positive based on Stéfanie’s comment. Thanks to Amazon Shoppers and to BC Mary S. for joining me on a project that’s just between us. Mark the Meditator returns and he shares some vulnerable truths from his heart.

I love how my smile looks in this one. I took it immediately following the silly tongue selfie (you can see it below). Sometimes we need to be our own comedians!

Podcast Recap

House cleaning bites me in the knee, so hiking is out and the podcast rock is in! I decide to let go of expecting the worst. I tell a story about my miracle party dress. Thanks to Amy from WI, Dawny and Rabbit for their kind comments on a day that was tough for me. Many comment snippets from our old pal, BC Dave. Dawny writes a humorous response to last show. COD goes to every other week for a while.

Laurie makes a weird face with raised eyebrow and sideways tongue

I leave my pride in the fallen leaves and have a GRAND time making silly selfie faces while recording Day 137

My friend and I at the swanky LA party thrown by my VO agents, Liz and Jimmy from The Atherton Group. Gotta love when your life looks all glam! (But remember, looks are deceiving – my Mortifying Dusty House of Horrors was still awaiting my return to pumpkin status).

Hear again or for the first time, Dave’s wonderful good-bye message and Audio Drama performed by pro voice actors. It starts right around the 1 hour and 40 minute Mark on Day 120. And while you’re at it, listen to the WHOLE big old long thing again, it was a SHOW OF BEAUTY – Filled with BCs, surprises and fun stuff. I think I’ll take a long walk next week and listen again myself.
