Thank you so much Universe, thank you Joni, Samantha, and Carina at the The Doctors and for everyone who made me feel like a princess through out the entire process! Here is the link to the video of me talking! Whooppee!!!

They dubbed me "Cancer Survivor & Eternal Optimist" LOVE LOVE it!!

(Note… as I clean up this link I am noticing the video is off the web - a good lesson for me to capture such things myself… glad I have a screenshot at least)

I signed a release to fly from LAX with (beautiful) shellack on my face

Thursday night I arrived to LAX at 11ish PM - at 3pm the next day I flew back to NYC with shellack on my face and Farrah Fawcett hair. I signed a release form that I would not talk about what happened to me until the piece airs. I will not talk about having a dressing room or being treated like a princess or sweating in a silk jewel toned shirt. I will not talk about the beautiful voice of "What if" that wonders what I would have said if I had not been so excited - or whether I even really remember what I said at all.

Hopefully it will air soon, and this mystery will disappear. Cheers to sharing and cheers to dreaming of sausage!

It was an amazing week and I am SO grateful for the opportunity. Thank you Universe!

Happy New Year! (to the Dragon and her Doings!)

Growing up in DC and heading to Chinatown for Dim Sum Sunday Brunch, we would invariably have the menu in front of us that listed the different animals of the Chinese Zodiac. I am the Year of the Dragon, specifically the Fire Dragon (according to Wikipedia). The year of the Dragon is the only year that has a legendary animal (instead of a rabbit, or a dog). The Year of the Dragon starts January 23rd, 2012.

and here is the description of those of us lucky enough to be born in this year (also courtesy or Wikipedia)

Dragon — 龍 / é¾™ (è¾°) (Yang, 1st Trine, Fixed Element Wood): Magnanimous, stately, vigorous, strong, self-assured, proud, noble, direct, dignified, eccentric, intellectual, fiery, passionate, decisive, pioneering, artistic, generous, loyal. Can be tactless, arrogant, imperious, tyrannical, demanding, intolerant, dogmatic, violent, impetuous, brash.

------

This description of me - is, as I write with both dignity and strength - bang on (and who knows if that is the chicken or the egg on that one). Ah well...

The other part of this Year of the Dragon shenigans that I love is that my MOTHER is also born in the year of the Dragon and so was my paternal grandfather. And my father loves dragons - good thing too, because he ended up with two of them.

Happy New Year! Cheers to Dragons and Dragon Doings!
