Current Mood

Can't Fight This Feeling!
Lisa Rinna 

This photo of Lisa Rinna motoring to a yoga class with a T-Shirt slogan that reads "Good Vibes" is my post Labor Day Current Mood.

I feel very zen at present as I sit at the computer in the home stretch of my recovery from surgery. 

Lisa is currently embroiled in shooting Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We shall see how the show does post the hemorrhaging of ruling Queen Bee, the other Lisa, Lisa Vanderpump. 

They've added two newcomers instead of one to replace LVP, Garcelle Beauvis & Rinna friend and ally Sutton Stracke. Which is leading to speculation that Erika Jayne may be out this season or demoted to friend of the show via a recent cast announcement for the upcoming season minus her name.

Oh the drama! Season 10 has barely begun shooting and woot there it is! 

Honestly I'll take a yoga mat and some "Good Vibes" over drama any day.

Namaste.

Monday Motivation

Meditation = Monday Motivation - While I have meditated in the past it has only been on occasion, not as a regular practice. Thus with my impending surgery on the 16th I feel the needed to get my mental state in the best and strongest place it can be. Dissipate my anxiety and just plain chill out.

Thus today I am going to take the time to get my zen on everyday starting today until the going under the knife. 

Although I listed my reasons above, for wanting to go inward, here are some others from an article I found online.

Research shows that meditation can:

• Reduce stress
• Increase energy
• Improve sleep
• Decrease anxiety
• Increase creativity
• Make you look younger and live longer    

Sounds like a good gig to me. So surrender and enjoy your week and Motivate your Monday with some good old fashioned meditation.

Not thinking about anything is zen

People like us just don't give a _______ fill it & fill it hard, it's blank after all

Monday Motivation

Just Be
Jon Hamm

Yesterday I did something that I haven't in a long time,meditate. With a little bit of a cough and the sniffles I decided it was OK to take some down time and do the minimal things that I needed to without being anxious. "Yes" I cleared my head of all thoughts of what I "should be" doing and just was.

It was one of the best days ever! When you feel anxious, stuck in a rut or just plain over things, take a mental vacation. It takes strong discipline to do it, but if everyday could be like, not to mention feel like yesterday I would be on cloud nine, ten, eleven...

Thus meditation is Monday Motivation - I leave you with this now iconic image of Jon Hamm doing just that in the series finale of one of my favorite shows ever Mad Men. If you recall Hamm's character, Don Draper came up with the iconic Coke jingle during this zen moment....I'd like to teach the world to sing, indeed....

Now get to it, meditate peeps, Namaste!

Just Because...Eric McCormack

New Sensation
Eric McCormack

Just Because he got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to publicize the upcoming season of Will and Grace. Just Because his pose is giving me life on a Sunday morning & Just Because I wanna be sedated. Here is Eric McCormack peeps!

While I was never really a fan of the original Will and Grace ("yes" I am a bad gay, or perhaps bad ass gay depending on your take) I am even less of a fan of the cartoon like reboot.

This but and however does not mean I find Eric untalented. I find him very much so and am glad that the powers that be decided to pimp his ass out for publicity for the second coming of the revived show by gifting him with a star on the HWOF. 

Hey, the going price is $40,000 and that's pretty cheap in terms of the publicity it buys. Obviously NBC deemed McCormack the one from the cast who should get one. Also so did the Walk of Fame committee.

So there you have it in a nutshell Eric going yogi on your ass and receiving his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame zen style.

What?! It's done get on with your day.

All Is Quiet On New Years Day...

Love Birds
Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney

When I woke up on this first day of 2016 that lyric from the U2 song immediately entered my mind. Why? Other than the obvious reason, the lyric is quite literal right now. My neighborhood is so peaceful and quiet you could hear a bird poop from a telephone wire.

So when I saw this photo of one of my favorite couples Lady Gaga and her soon to be groom Taylor Kinney looking all lovey dovey I went, Awwwwwwww....This really compliments the zen and vibrations of what feels like an amazing year to come!

The two turtle doves captioned the photo on Instagram with:

"thank you to our fans and loved ones who bless us with so much each year. We had a beautiful holiday and are so grateful because it wouldn't have been the same without you in our lives! Happy New Year's Eve."

Likewise you two.
