The Empress Knows what Rivers Know: There is no hurry.

Last Friday, I went to the Topanga Film Festival for a screening of What About Me? It wasn’t exactly seeing a movie in the theatre, because we were in a paddock on a ranch under the full moon, but it was even better than being in a theatre!

I can’t recommend this movie highly enough, particularly if you enjoyed What the Bleep do We Know? or The Secret. It’s an inspirational movie with a rockin’ soundtrack!

Then Sunday, I found myself at the Feel-Good Film Festival, to watch a Deaf-themed movie called Universal Signs. It’s beautifully shot, and stars Anthony Natale, a friend of mine, who is possibly most well-known for signing “You complete me,” in the elevator in Jerry Maguire. He won best actor at the festival, and this movie really shows his range. Universal Signs would appeal to cinemaphiles and foreign film buffs!

WHile I was at Esalen, I made friends with another massage therapist, and we made a coffee-sugar concoction that we used to give each other body scrubs… made with sugar, coffee, shredded coconut, olive oil, a little honey, and a few drops of essential oil. It made our skin super-soft, and even tinted it a little because of the coffee… we both looked great all summer!

I sure miss her!

I’m going!
