Afraid of the Canyons? STAY OUT!

Hello Los Angeles folks. Don't you hate it when you are trying to get from the Valley to Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Santa Monica, West L.A., or anywhere "over the hill"~to be fair, in either direction, and some complete git pulls up in front of you on Coldwater Canyon (Beverly), Mulholland Drive, or Laurel (Crescent Hts) and goes about 10 mph??

I have to just scream about it for a second... are you ready?

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

So to those people that do that lemme say these words.

IF YOU ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CANYONS PLEASE TAKE YOUR SLOW STUPID ASS ONTO THE FREEWAY!

The freeways move nice and slow, so you should fit in perfectly. Most days during rush hour the freeways hardly move.

The thing is, I am not one to get road rage of any kind. If I make a bone head move like get onto the 101, the 5, the 405, the 134, or the 10 between the hours of 7-10 am or 4-7 pm, then I am prepared to sit and sit I shall. I turn up the radio, return phone calls (ON MY HANDS FREE), or whatever, just enjoy the ride. I don't get upset when I get cut off, I don't mind when someone makes a left turn too late on a red light. Usually, I am pretty laid back when behind the wheel.

But the one thing, the one thing that gets under my skin and drives me absolutely crazy is when people choose to drive on the canyons (and Mulholland) and go about 5-10 mph under the speed limit, slam on their breaks at every turn! For the record, I never go over the speed limit either. The Mario Andrettis of the world are another topic.

So I am begging everyone out there in L.A. to please don't drive on Mulholland or the canyons if you are afraid! Stay out, save yourself and people like me.

This is me, JUST SAYIN', stay out of the canyons!

  1. That's why you need a slanted grill on the front of your car that is similar to the cow catchers that were on old steam locomotives. Then if they don't speed up, you go all "Death Race 2000" on them.


    Kidding.

    Kind of.

    No, I'm kidding.

It's Been Awhile---Catching Up With Me

 So much to say and how to say it... so I'll just start with. Wow, what a year it's been.  I mean, could anyone have predicted all the shite that has hit us in 2020?  NO way!  I'm grateful for so much though, and one of them is the freedom to be able to have blogs (yes I have many) and the freedom to say whatever I want ---this is important.  I'm grateful that I live where I do and even though I'm not rich, I am healthy and live a good life. I do what I can to help others, I also have a loving husband and a Westie who I adore.  As many of you know that aside from blogging sporadically on here I'm a writer and an artist AND I work one on one with both artists and writers to help them in their careers. I've been doing this since 2006 (artists) 2010 (writers). The past few years I've focused on coaching writers as I became the queen of writing conferences and people were always hitting me up for free advice. I even started a YouTube channel CHECK IT OUT Thi

Why I Need B School with Marie Forleo CHANGING MY LIFE

Hey everyone, so I made a video see above.. in all my glorious after yoga before Beachbody or gym or whatever I do later-which could be simply walking with Wrigley glory. Meaning in Hollywood terms, not a stitch of make up! So what is B School and what on earth am I thinking spending the money when I have $8 dollars---yes EIGHT dollars, I have 8 dollars in my bank right now and about 3 bucks in quarters for laundry. LOL.. I laugh, the life of an artiste!! I am living like Jack Dawson, from Titanic---it's sooo much fun.. but you know I would like to have some stability in my life.  I am not looking to get rich here, rich wouldn't be awful...but you know, I just want to take my life to the next level and I am planning on doing just that. Seriously, I need to stop saying the following things: 1) I can't afford to.....(whatever) I am sooo sick of hearing me say that I can't go to this conference or take this class or tak a weekend off because I don't have the m

Living Like Jack Dawson Making It Count

Last week was an awful week for me and I let worry, fear, and dread get to me and it was not pleasant. So this is a brand new week and in a new week I am going to do my best to change my attitude and start living life like Jack Dawson-hopefully with a better ending. If you wonder what I mean by that, I mean that I will still work hard and do everything in my power to change my life/financial/job situation, but I will adapt his atitude of enjoying every day and taking life as it comes and not freaking out every time things don't go as planned. In the last 6 years I have been in this situation where a job ends earlier than I thought, or something falls through and it always works out, yet every time it happens fear creeps his ugly head in and starts freaking me out. I am done being afraid. I can't take much more of this, so besides working hard and changing my strategy, I am going to change my attitude and enjoy things more. This summer I was in Seattle and one week in August I
