Here's the failed vision board- I tried to post it with the thing about how I suck at vision boards, but I couldn't even manifest the proper posting.

I Suck at Vision Boards

Last night I went to a vision board party, yay! 

I was really excited, I mean it’s good to have a vision for your life, right? And it’s fun to cut out pictures from magazines and paste them on poster board, plus it tells your subconscious and ultimately THE UNIVERSE, what you want to manifest! So I was psyched!

But, crystals and mantras and sage and magical wish paper not withstanding, I floundered and failed to make a vision appear- ON THE PAPER- so it’s no wonder I can’t get that shit to materialize in my life!

At the end everyone proudly showed their altruistic and wise visions, explaining the deeper meaning and kick-ass trajectory their lives would soon be taking. 

On mine some trees, some sparkles, and a lady with nice hair, were all lamely stuck on, like the images themselves were embarrassed to be seen with me. As I held my board up, the word ADVENTURE curled off the page and fell to the floor, as if to say: nice try Reiser, not gonna happen. 

So there you have it. In an attempt to better my life, I found I suck at even the arts n’ craft skills necessary to better my life.

I suck at vision boards.

Ah, Hope… you still there? Sing me to sleep tonight with your sweet eternal song, cause I still believe…

This interview makes me so proud of the work I did with her!

Totally moved by this video.

I was such a hard-core environmentalist when I was in high school and college, I studied wildlife in Kenya, and wanted to be a wildlife vet. Now, living in Los Angeles, I forget to show my love for the wilderness and the earth.

I have to figure out ways to help the Earth everyday and stop being so self-absorbed all the time!

So proud to a part of this short!

Sullivan in utero- at 29 weeks taken with a 3D ultrasound. That is his foot by the top of his head and his umbilical cord is in his mouth.
