Halloween in Hawaii….

My Oct. portrait…..tan and rested

My Malibu…

My Malibu….It’s always nice to go on an adventure, BUT it’s soooo nice to come home. My Malibu is what I love. I love the fall here, I love when you can just start to feel a “crisp”  in the air. I love when the beaches empty out, when driftwood comes in from storms, and when sea glass is rampant. I love the silence and aloneness you feel on a beach in the winter…….oh I cannot wait!

My friends Gabe and Tristan…

 These are the Eggerling boys….you are going to see a lot more of these guys. The older brother Gabriel is going to be the new voice of Shroeder in a brand new “Snoopy” release.

I met these 2 characters and their wonderful family years ago. I was working at a co. that places children with talent agencies. I knew the minute I saw Gabe that he had a special look for the camera. He has that classic Ralph Lauren type of look, and it proves it in this photo.

His mother has gone on to help place this adorable face in projects that are uplifting and special so these boys definetly will be recognized for their future endeavors.

Gabe has done feature films, commercials, voice over work, and is currently up for a TV show.

I am so proud of the work that he has accomplished and he really enjoys it. THIS is a far cry from Toddlers and Tiarras…..wouldn’t you say?

Good Luck Gabe, I’m behind you buddy!

THE shot of my trip… Kona, Hawaii

palms of Waikiki…

I really love palm trees, they are so adaptable. I’ve seen them in 50 mph winds bending almost in half and the next day be up-right swaying in a warm breeze. They really are amazing. There are so many of them in Hawaii, I just adore them…..nothing says the tropics like a palm tree. Did you know there were 2600 species of palm trees today? Palms mostly grow in the tropics, but there are 130 types that will grow elsewhere.

The palm tree is used as a symbol of tropical vacations, but in past cutures it was used as a symbol of peace, fertility, and even victory!

Palm sap is sometimes fermented to produce palm wine or toddy, an alcoholic beverage common in parts of Africa, India, and the Philippines.

The “art” of being a parent…Dad and fishing

This photo is one of my all time favorites of my son and my husband…..It’s not the best quality but oh so special in it’s own way.

There is really a magical quality about it…a Dad fishing with his son.

My son the dreamer, dirty, staring off into his world, and his Dad totally engulfed by this magical moment.

It is moments like this that make being a parent so worthwhile.

Tibetan filmmaker sentenced to 6 years..HELP Dhondup NOW!

We’ve just learned that Dhondup Wangchen, the Tibetan filmmaker
who made the remarkable documentary “Leaving Fear Behind,” has
been sentenced to a six-year prison term. According to Radio
Free Asia and the Tibetan Government-in-Exile, he was sentenced
on December 28, 2009. The Chinese government has yet to confirm
the sentencing but Dhondup Wangchen’s family has released a
statement based on information they received from Tibet. Read
the statement here:

http://www.studentsforafreetibet.org/article.php?id=2126

While we are saddened by this news, we believe that
international pressure is making a difference in his case. It
appears that Dhondup Wangchen is trying to appeal his sentence,
so it is critical that we keep the pressure on.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION: Send the letter below to Chinese President
Hu Jintao. Your letter will also be sent to China’s Ambassador
to the United Nations Zhang Yesui:

Please also call the Chinese authorities in Washington, D.C. and
Beijing to demand Dhondup Wangchen’s immediate release (note:
Beijing is 12 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time.) The Chinese
government refers to Dhondup Wangchen as Dangzhi Xiangqian
(phonetic: Dang-Jeh She-ang Chi-an.)

In Washington, D.C

6596 3100
Chinese Ministry of Justice: +8610 6520 6706 or +8610 6520 6706

Tibetans and their supporters are organizing protests and vigils
in response to the sentencing to show China that people
worldwide are gravely concerned for Dhondup Wangchen’s
well-being. For more information and resources, please contact:

More ways to take action will be posted shortly on SFT’s
website: http//:www.studentsforafreetibet.org/leavingfearbehind
