It was a dark and stormy night! Ha, truly I can’t seem to escape crummy weather even though I left Boston a few days ago and am back in my old stomping grounds, Santa Barbara, at my first book party in California. (Well, I did do a CNN interview that will air in March—more about that as soon as I get the air dates). The evening was spearheaded by my old friend Sheridan Rosenberg and her friend Nina Grimison who handled a lot of the coordination.
While the rain pounded outside, we partied at the home of Jill and Ron Dexter who are legends in the commercial film industry. It blew my mind to meet them because I worked as a stylist in commercials in the 1980’s. I kidded Jill that I thought she may have fired me off a job once, and Ron piped in, “That was probably me, hire and fire.” (How times changes our perception of events. The job I was fired from was a champagne commercial starring Catherine Oxenberg who is 1,387 in line for the British Throne, who took one look at me and asked for me to be dismissed. It was traumatic then, but funny now.) I never did cross paths back then with Jill and Ron. It was fun to talk about the industry and our common friends.
But back to the book party. You can see how gorgeous their house is, filled with amazing art and antiques. The food was unbelievable. Ron was kind enough to take some photos for my blog. It was another great group of people, some I had never met, a couple of my writer’s group friends, and my former hairdresser.
Thank you, Sheridan, Jill, Nina, and Ron!
Om Shanti.
My blog is dedicated to my Life Mission: Living a happy and fulfilled life, caring about my body and spirit, women’s issues, and the planet. I hope you come back and read how you can define, explore, and live your Life Mission.
