ALL FOR YOU...

Say Cheese

While Ageless Aunty takes her beauty naps, this blog will take a slight detour onto the Yellow Brick Road Connector….There I will entertain you with my zesty quest for everything first-class and spectacular. Part of my yearning for such grand things is my personality. It has simply become the Renee Way to go after anything that may seem impossible to others. I just don’t hear NO. And, like many of you, I am no shabby dreamer. I know I am not the only one to have a taste for Cristal on a Boone’s Farm Budget. We should all get together. I can see us now, we’ll want dinner at the Ritz, seven is fine, but end up at Olive Garden with some cheap red wine.

And….those around me, and new people I meet, are amazed and amused by my continuous mad-cap adventures. They are always asking, “How did you manage to pull that off…you hot ticket,” (like maneuvering my way into a party to meet actor William Macy, and successfully demanding to be in an MTV video once). When a savvy New York agent told me to “start a blog” I did.

So there you have it. I am not trying to be J. Lo, I am just naturally high. And I am not Jennifer Aniston, but I do relish the cherries of life right down to the Pitt. Here I am. My stories are true, and they are all for you…

Where There's a Will There's Renee...

Not Mine (Yet)

By now, you all know and love our Ageless Aunty. The clamoring crowds she garners in real life are now following her on the Internet. She is no longer just a legend in her own mind. But, some of you may be wondering who I am, and why this blog.

I feel like I have mastered the art of living well (and I don’t mean with lots of money or material things). I simply am able to find joy in every day living, and I would like to share that with you. I have also been blessed with a bubble bath full of chutzpah…. I never sit in the back row. I always find my way to the front, and often backstage. Here I am holding another screenwriters' Oscar (for charitable purposes). My glass (a crystal blue champagne flute) is always half full! I raise it to you for joining me.

I write memoir, screenplays, and now this blog (which I share with my Great Aunty Helen, our resident Ageless Guru). Through my written communications, via blog, book, and screenplay, I hope to show my readers/audience (what my friends have been saying for years)….that life is a banquet the Renee Way, and, Ageless, with Aunty!

ANTI-AGING GIFTS...

Hello Kitty and Ageless Aunty

Keeping up with the spirit of giving….Here is Our own Ageless Aunty holding a gift from a friend. Aunty has many admirers and people that love to bring her presents (including me). Our dear friend Grace brought Aunty this darling little Hello Kitty pillow the other day. “Just because I love my Aunty so much,” she said. When Aunty opened the package she couldn't stop giggling. She hugged the puffy piece several times before hugging Gracie. I thought to myself… if someone gives me a Hello Kitty anything when I am Aunty’s age, then this blog will have worked because appreciating and enjoying such a youthful gift…. is Ageless. Then I realized I had recently been given a Hello Kitty Book for Christmas…. And I haven’t put it down since! Only once, and that was to take some mints out of my new Hello Kitty Clutch, another funky gift from a friend.

Aunty and I know we are blessed with such whimsical gifts from our childlike friends. Someday, when Aunty is older, I might bestow her with the Hello Kitty Crystal Business Card Holder . It’s brilliant. But for now she likes the little girl things.

GIVE A BIG HUG...

That’s my gorgeous sister J who always signs her emails with the words “Big Hug.” Here she is holding Mr. “Big Hug” the adorable fellow I gave her for her recent birthday. I had been trying to figure out what else to give her that I could afford. I mean what do you give someone who has a rainbow of diamonds, lives in Beverly Hills, and has poured Grand Dame Champagne for a "bubble bath?"

While I was skimming through a catalog (it may have been http://www.thewirelesscatalog.com/) I literally saw what was described as a BIG HUG; “plush and cuddly with rosy cheeks and a fluffy sprout of hair on top.” How could I resist? The act of finding him, wrapping him (and in her favorite Wishnick paper which she almost loved more than the gift itself) and giving him to her made me feel great. And although my sister is already ageless, she is even more so now because I got creative and gave from the heart. She loves him! Generosity makes everybody a winner. Don’t you think even “Big Hug” is happier having such pretty hands holding him every day!

FIND YOUR GURU...

Ageless Aunty

When the student is ready the teacher will appear. This powerful statement should bring you some peace. When you are ready to bring your life up a notch…and take the high road instead of the easy way out…pay close attention, your teacher is near.

Everything is set up for our benefit. We can trust this and should be able to find our wise guides without too much effort.

At the top of my (living) guru list is my Ageless Aunty. She is an extraordinary woman and the best teacher anyone could ask for. She not only inspired this blog, but everyday she teaches me what is most important in life, and that is helping others. Ever since I can remember, I have watched her give her constant and unchanging love to an entire family. She does not keep score ever, under any circumstance, even when I felt she should. My great Aunt transcends everything, and continues to rise to human greatness with her selfless humility. All this goodness keeps her radiant and ageless.

This remarkable woman is all I hope to be, and the best part of who I am. She is pure spirit. What a gift to live with her and be in her presence daily. Aunty is so happy, that by looking at her, other people become happy. The more I emulate and care for her, the more ageless I become.
