I’m not very patient, I’ll admit. If I had it my way I’d have tomorrow be today. But wait, it is, isn’t it? Anyway, I continue to learn the lesson in patience (by force) and am constantly amazed at the stress I put on myself because that’s what I choose. A few weeks ago I was waiting to find out what’s happening with my show Who’s On Deck, I was training and getting to know a new intern, trying to finish another project and on and on. I was choosing to be anxious about the future and not in the moment. As it turns out, all of my anxiety was a waste – my show got the green light for the 2nd season (yay!), my intern is fabulous, we’re in full swing for production and I finished the other project. I look back and question why I’d spend any time, much less days, stressing over things that hadn’t even proven themselves bad – it’s just not good for my life!
My goal for this spring, for the 2nd season of www.WhosOnDeck.tv and for everything I do is to do it without stress – or at least with less. To consciously choose not to worry, to be aware or and tame any anxiety. To just be in the moment, enjoy it and carry on giving life my best.
Thanks for watching our show, for your feedback, your encouragement and friendship. Let me know what projects you’re working on and I’ll be there in support!

A ‘lil Flav Makes Memorial Wknd
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
This Memorial weekend was one that will go in my diary as “memorable.” On Saturday night, I hustled up to Harlem to meet Flavor Flav for an interview. He’s got a new book out, The Icon, and I couldn’t resist a little time with Flav to ask the questions I want to know.
Flav’s a bright guy, multi-talented and an admitted addict to the front-line/hype scene, look-at-me-I’m-Flav. Deservedly so. If the cops weren’t watching him, millions of people in front of the television were. He’s been the face of the number one progressive rap group Public Enemy and has himself caused many public enemies. Mix all that up for 30+ years and you’ve got some flavor.
Catch the interview here: http://youtu.be/SrxGYqJF79w or above in my archives.

Saturday, April 30th, 2011Each day you will consume the following diet. If you prefer (or need to) have the main meal at lunch, that is fine. Make SURE you are drinking enough water (I did not post all water consumption that is necessary, drink prior to each meal and in between), eating enough foods (smoothies, fruits and veggies) and getting enough rest. NOTE: EITHER take the fiber (psyllium) drink OR an herbal detox tea (for regularity like Smooth Move or Get Regular). DO NOT take both. Consult your health care professional.
The times are suggestions but try to set a schedule that works for you consistently each day.

Detox Precautions & Notes
Friday, April 29th, 2011A few precautions before you begin your 3-Day Detox….
~You may experience cravings, moodiness, a bit of lethargy or feeling slightly “not right” – this is normal to a certain extent as the cleansing is taking place. Drink plenty of water and make sure you are not starving yourself – this is NOT a starvation or liquid diet cleanse.
~Staying hydrated is extremely important, in particular if you are taking psyllium or other fiber supplements/teas during the cleanse. Also, if you are exercising to the point of sweating, taking hot baths or have a demanding job, it is crucial to stay hydrated and supplement with electrolyte water/vitamin or mineral water during the cleanse.
~If possible, take a 3-day break from your normal supplement routine.
~If you are taking medication for any reason, consult with your doctor prior to cleansing.
~If you are hypo or hyper-glycemic, consult with your health care professional prior to cleansing.
~If you are pregnant, nursing or menstruating, do not follow the detox diet at this time.
~If the yoga/movement exercises are too intense or you do not have the proper mat, please do not attempt. Modify or ask for other suggestions.
Good luck and happy cleansing! The SHOPPING LIST is posted, and the DAILY DIET for the 3-Day Detox will be posted Saturday, April 30 and the following 2 days!
