Celebrating another year of friendship: Amy, Sheri and Jennie

Happy 2011 Everyone! I know it’s cliche to say it, but I can’t believe 2010 is over. 2010 had a bit of a rough start for me, but it ended well and 2011 looks better than ever!


My friend, Jennie, is a great planner and executive coach and she gave me two simple exercises to help get in the right frame of mind for the new year.


First off, choose a word that you would like to set the tone for 2011. Just one word. I chose “GROWTH”. Pretty self explanatory and it covers all areas of my life, both in career and personal relationships.


Secondly, a list! Many people make to-do lists, but we often forget to take the time to reflect on what we’ve accomplished. The end of the year is a great time to make a “Done” list! Here are some of the highlights from 2010:


– Aubrey turned three, started preschool, learned to swim and is 99% potty trained!! 
– Formed a relationship with a new talent manager
– Booked the most college shows ever (personally) off of a regional NACA showcase
– My sit-com pilot was selected as a top 5 finalist in the MAPID TV Pilot Shootout Contest
– Attended my 20th high school reunion and felt pretty darn good about myself
– Found and hired a nanny that doesn’t appear to be a total nut case
– Headlined my first comedy club shows in Asia (Hong Kong)
– Joined forces with Wendy Liebman, Jennifer Rawlings and Judy Gold to form The Mom Squad comedy tour (coming soon to a club or theater near you!)


2010 was what I would consider a slow, difficult year but after looking at this list, I feel a little better about the things I did accomplish and it definitely helps me feel ready to move forward… GROWTH!


Here’s to an amazing 2011! May your new year be filled with happiness, prosperity and joy!

Years ago, I chose to stop sending paper cards because of the cost and stress on the environment. Now I make an ecard and thanks to technology I can post it on my blog, on Twitter, on Facebook and email it to my friends and family for FREE! No trees killed, no fossil fuels used, no long line at the post office and I’m still in my pajamas at 1pm. Here is our 2010 holiday ecard – I hope you enjoy it and have a wonderful rest of the year!

Our knowledgable and friendly docent leads us through the herb & fruit garden of the Getty Villa

The beautiful Getty Villa on the breathtaking PCH in Malibu or Pacific Palisades or Los Angeles or wherever it actually is (my Garmin wasn’t sure) is offering a new Mediterranean style afternoon tea called Tea By The Sea. It started last Thursday, December 2 and is offered each week at 1pm, each Thursday. 

I was treated to a preview of this unique tea service which features a menu inspired by the fruits, herbs and vegetables that grow in the Getty gardens. An interesting and enlightening tour is followed by the unique and classy tea service and all I can say is nom nom nom! If you can get away on a Thursday afternoon, you MUST go. It’s so delicious, so relaxing, such a beautiful setting – I promise you won’t be disappointed. I was going to write more about this, but the fabulous folks from the Getty Villa already summed it all up on their own blog! Read on and make a reservation. You’ll be glad you did. 🙂
