Day 21. the best life arrives in LA.

i love it. i'm back in california and love. love. loving it. since i arrived i haven't been outside for more than an a couple of hours though. why?

i'm taking a course this weekend on neuro linguistic programming. and its just what it sounds like. its about how language can program or "de"program behaviours. i love language and as an actor its an amazing study. "nlp" was designed as a tool to use language to improve the quality of peoples lives.
fascinating. however, i'm spending most of my days in a conference room with no windows - but let me tell you the breaks and lunch hours spent under the clear blue california sky completely compensate for the fluorescent lights.

so its day 21 have we established what is going on here? sometimes i'm not sure myself.
this a blog about my year in: living my BEST LIFE...hmmm. i realize quite an undertaking eh?
so i decided to break it down into a few tangible outcomes for the year.

let me start with the triathlon which...i would like to share is taking on a life of its own. its amazing what this goal has introduced into my life. its literally elevated so many conversations as this goal is ever present in my mind. in many ways this goal has 're-framed' my thinking about so many other things.

i have just signed up for a running clinic and looking for swimming lessons in cali next week. and oh man- i'm going to swim in the pacific ocean. terrifying and invigorating. yipeee and yikes.

the stephen lewis foundation is activating an amazing campaign called a dare to remember:
