We are looking for HAPPY RETIREMENT STORIES involving people who have
relocated for retirement. We need to know what their occupation and
community involvement was in their old home and same for the new. We also

Looking for a book that deals with OLD HOLLYWOOD, OLD FILM STUDIOS, OLD

Internet for a book like this--but can't seem to locate just what I'm
looking for.

How to Pitch!

Last night I went to Chris Abbotts book signing for her book, how to pitch from Tall Fellow Press. It was really good. It was for people who are trying to sell their movie or tv show to execs. It was about what to say when you get in the room. Terry Scott met us down there. Kevin ( my director) and I got the book. I'm going to try and book Chris for the show, but she doesnt live in California so it's all about timing. But the bottom line is you gotta write! ( and I have to write more!)
But it was fun.

Want to write a little ?

Tuesday is the Day!

Well, Tuesday we tape the mothers day special. Everything is in place and it will be a great show. It is a sold out event so if you missed it, be sure to get on the mailing list for next year. I send out invitations to people who subscribe to the ezine first. If any tickets are left for the general public, then we go from there.

I am very excited about the show!

Oprah is selling her house in Santa Barbara, the press will have a field day with that. I thought she really liked California but they say she has 20 acres in Maui that she prefers. I can dig it!


The Pope's passing has everyone on the PR wagon, commenting on his life. This could be an opening for you too.
The same thing with Terry's passing, think of how to tie these national and global events to you locally and you are guarantted publicity.

Rest in Peace, Terry and Pope John Paul II

the count down is on!

We are just a few days from the mothers day special.Every thing is set, including seats , so please dont email me or call. We are at capacity. I'm excited!

We have some viewers in Chicago who actually contacted me, I am very excited about that!, so hello to you folks, keep watching on DGTV!

I met a fellow BellaOnline editor, she has a cool blog, called the Mobile Spa
Check it out!, she has how to make perfume on the blog! I am totally stoked! You know I am going to make myself some perfume now. For those of you who dont know, even though I am not into cooking, I make excellent home made vanilla ( only the best vanilla beans and vodka) and I make home made detergent. I know that sound weird but I like adding my own scents to my detergent and by default my clothes. I also make excellent dog biscuits but normallly at christmas and them have my dog give them to other peoples dogs.

speaking of dogs, I didint get one yet, but I am talking with a rescue mission about an older dog so we'll see. I think the perfect dog will come along, I am looking for a smart older dog, house trained, crate trained, basic social skills,likes children, like longs walks in the woods, has a good job, no... scratch the last thing, it is just a dog after all. I am not ready for a puppy in my life, I know that.
