Goodnight Mr. Chips, I mean Mr. Big

New York Got MoJo

I wonder what the electrical charge was last night around Times Square just before sun down.  The Theater District always enticing. I mean there is always a mystique no matter what time of day it is. Do you agree?

While I was walking by the Broadway Play, A Streetcar named Desire,  I saw a group of four people meet, and a photographer snap a photo in tandem. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Mr. Big, well,  not really, I saw the the man, the actor ( with beard and mustache) Chris Noth among the four people.

This week I went to see The Medieval Play at the Signature Center. This play is a hold no prisoners comedy. The eight ensemble actors move the play along with such skill, fun, and energy. A big bravo to them and the writer Kenneth Lonergan! Oh and a bravo for the fight choreographer David Brimmer. It is a short run so go see this joust.

There you have it, the old and the new : a touch of theater in the ever changing New York City.

Holey Batman, Robin it's been way too long

Dear Readers,

Okay , so here it is middle of May , almost square on  middle of the year, or triangle on middle of the year, depending on your sacred geometry, and which angle you are viewing from.

Top five reasons I have been away from blogging:

 1. I was re-engaged in the study of Reiki and became a Reiki Master for the second time.
 2. Loreal has been keeping me busy by playing with my hair.
 3. Getting certified from Master Jeffrey Yuen in Healing with Gemstones and Minerals.
 4. Gratefully applying my new certification of Postural Corrective Massage in my massage practice.
 5. Catching up on films , great theater, and gardening.

Here are 5 things I wish were on the list:

 1. visiting my family
 2. dance classes
 3.  drinking elixers with my friends and going into a vision inspired trance
 4.  meeting with Steven Spielberg
 5. Playing with the children in my life

Luckily , yesterday , my colleague was throwing a nerf football  around with her daughter and invited me to partake in the sport.

Hey we have a solar eclipse coming up on sunday. Make your wish list !

Keep your health #1 on your list.

 For ice cream lovers,"holey", in the blog title , is inspired by Holey Cream a new delicious ice cream place in New York City. Try the low fat vanilla peanut butter twist frozen yogurt.

Allow me to share  an inspired photo I took of a fluorite crystal singing in the sun.

 Enjoy the gazing.

Brightest Blessings,

Bubbles of Laughter to You and Yours,

Saint Patrick's Day Weekend

Quite Lucky this year, St. Patty's Day fell on a saturday. The city was buzzing early on in the morning. The energy was very uplifting.

While I was buying fabric in the fashion district the attendant said to me, "Be Happy Always."

Can you imagine that?

Here are some photos of the day.

Steve Cohen, the modern day magician extraordinaire gave a performance that was quite literally astonishing. If you ever get the chance to see him perform, you will believe in magic. It was a blessing and gift to witness his performance friday night at the Waldorf Astoria Towers.

So, brave humans, stay inspired as we move into Spring this week.

Come visit me at the New Life Expo at the New Yorker Hotel, March 23rd- March 25th, Friday thru Sunday. You can catch up with me at booth number 126.

Chinese Proverb

The Year Of The Dragon: A Chinese Proverb

If you ignore the dragon it will eat you.

If you try to confront the dragon it will overpower you.

But if you ride the dragon you will take advantage of its might and power.

A Poem and Gift From Moonwater , a brilliant thoughtful compilation of phrases of wisdom

Thoughts are things...Breathe deeply

A brown wind sighs... A white wind blows...

Advance with Confidence.... Stay centered

Speak no evil... Draw down the Moon...

Trust your heart.... Devote time to love....

Joy comes unexpected... Beat your Drum.....

Brook no nonsense... Remain flexible...

Weave a new pattern..... Watch and wait

Refuse to judge.... Nature has an answer

Find the hidden path... Walk in a meadow

Instinct is your guide... Meet in a circle of pine

Gather fallen feathers... Forget regret

Dismiss doubts.. Observe silence

Collect oak leaves... Repay a kindness

Pursue an old dream... Allow for change

Follow your shadow... Mend your fences

Cope with delays.. Rise above anger

Pick up your feet.. Climb a hill

Drop another burden... Cherish your privacy

Take a plunge... Savor life's gifts

There is but one you of you in all time

Twelfth Night

I remember performing Twelfth Night with The Alternative Theater Company. We put up many plays in many different locations, think flash mob without the boombox.

We brought out the Bard's play and performed it once in Barnes and Noble Astor Place, NYC. I was reminded of this as I dug out the book "Poetry In Motion" for my February Facebook poetry sharing that you can contribute to, by friending me and posting lines from poetry that has inspired you. If you are so inspired to , by your free will.

Does anyone remember the mural that the Barnes and Noble Astor Place had along the stairwell and cafe? All of dead writers mostly, predominantly celebrating deceased male writers, save perhaps to Emily Dickinson. This was a fact. Facts are important.

The time of the performance was spring 1997, the place was New York City. The reason was passion. The great thing was , I had no , yup that is zero formal Shakespeare training, the ensemble was chock full of devoted players.

Step up to the plate and hit the ball.

I still love books, have had formal Shakespeare training, and love a good crack at the plate.

Home plate that is.

Oh , the role I played was Viola. We also performed this play off broadway at La MaMa .

It's on my resume.

Bursting New Year

It was thrilling to go past the finish line during the Midnite Run, and that fulfillment I can see , could become addictive. In a good way!

Happy New Year!

Good luck to "M" with her baby's delivery.

And good luck to all of us as we approach the year of the dragon.
