IF I FELL...


Falling, yes I am falling and they keep calling
me back again...

One of my all-time favorite films is A Hard Day's Night, starring of course, the Beatles. By most accounts the words to describe this sensational film are: jubilant, effervescent, buoyant, fun, and just crazy good!

I remember the first time I saw it in the theater I was so excited that I threw my entire box of buttered popcorn in the air. The line to get in was around the block, and Uncle D dropped me off and said, "Be careful." I cried and screamed the whole way through.
I have spent my entire life since mildly obsessed with the fab four. Very few things in life give me the ultra natural high and rush that I still get from listening to the Beatles.
It's hard to believe that this highly enjoyable film turns fifty this month. W-O-W!
I am celebrating with friends tonight when we all gather at the Coolidge Corner Cinema in Brookline, Massachusetts for a special screening of the film. For me, it's thrilling. Being at the movies is always exciting. Movies genuinely move me. But, when you combine the fact that this is an extraordinary film, a celebration fifty years in the making, friends sitting beside you singing every word in tandem to a phenomenally great soundtrack.....well, it really doesn't get much better than this! I am exuberant and effervescent myself.
 A man named John Gerber from a site called COS talks about A Hard Days' Night:
The older I get, the more I appreciate just how off-the-wall and non-mainstream A Hard Day’s Night really is. I agree, Leah, that their awkward laughter really sells how likeable they were. For instance, there’s Ringo’s unnatural laugh at his own joke in the train car, which is followed shortly thereafter by Lennon’s strange blinking at the stuffy man sitting beside him. I think The Beatles were hip enough to realize how ridiculous it was that they were starring in a major film and were just going to enjoy the ride- embracing the fact they were movie stars for the time being. This could have been another KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park, but fortunately the band had more than enough charisma and were deprecating enough to sell the ever-loving hell out of it. 

I couldn't agree more! See you there....
Coolidge Corner Cinema, Brookline, Massachusetts, Monday evening, July 7th at 7p.m.

If you can't make it you can always rent or buy the DVD. I promise you wholeheartedly, you will NOT be disappointed! This is celluloid bliss! I am in my glory.......I LOVE YOU PAUL!!!
Bre, and G-bro, I will save you a seat!

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE....


I am so proud to be an American and I get great joy and pride  holding our flag. Here I am on July 4th, 2007. As many of you know I got enormous joy and pride all my time with Aunty (pictured here). She was my Fourth of July, my Christmas and my New Year too. These days carrying on in her honor I still celebrate (hopefully with style) and will always be honored and humble to be an American...exactly like Aunty was. One of my many fond memories of her (and her sister, my Nana Ruth) is how they particularly loved to sing and pronounce every patriotic word of the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful!

We want you to celebrate too!

And always with someone you love...

I'LL TAKE NANTUCKET...

And You Might Ask Yourself How Did I Get Here
 
When I say "I'll take Nantucket," I actually did! The pass I am wearing around my neck,
and spot where this picture was taken prove it. You'll never guess whose house this is?!
 
This photo was taken at a posh and private after party for the Nantucket Film Festival. And, I simply had to be there...
 
I promise to share it all with you...after all it is all for you!
We are in this together. So, please come back tomorrow for all the fabulous details of what it's like inside a well-established and well-run film festival. And in this case....on a "faraway" island with parties galore!

MAKING THE MOST OF SUMMER...

DON'T LET THE SUN GO DOWN ON YOUR SUMMER...

 The summer of love returns…

Are you looking to experience something truly splendid and memorable this summer? Do you want to truly transcend the ordinary and expand your mind and psyche? Well, to start just get to the beach. I mean it. Here at Ageless we get to the seashore any way we can and any chance we get.


Take a peek at the above photo. Here we are on Cape Cod just last weekend. The Cape is magical. You are surrounded by beaches. The ocean is exhilarating and healing.  And, it’s free (well you might have to pay to park but it’s worth it, even just for that first full relaxing breath). Ahh……
A Bad Hair Day is Still a Great Day on the Cape



Harwich, Mass

Next, I am so thrilled to announce a profound and moving happening like no other anywhere. Go see the Hanumen! Before someone like Oprah discovers them this is your chance. I have been right before with discoveries like this (remember Snatum Kaur, well now you see her with Oprah). The Hanumen are a soulful and compassionate group of men who can sing, chant, drum, elevate, and move you as high as you want to soar! I could not sit down the first time I saw them. Wear your love beads and let loose…open your heart and you will float away and smile to your core. I can’t wait.

The Hanumen  with Mike Houlihan
Sat Date: 7/19/2014 From: 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Sponsor Roots to Wings Yoga Byfield Ma.

SUMMER LOVE...

Picnic Perfect...
 
Dear Friends of mine are new proud parents. We celebrated their first Father's Day in nature...with a baby, a blanket, and lots of homemade food!
 And I fell in love...
Looks like it's reciprocated!
 
Something tells me it's going to be a wonderful summer~
