Enjoy My Post @HuffingtonPost.com - Got Gas? My Road Trip to Dreamforce in San Francisco

Enjoy my new post @HuffingtonPost.com!

I was so excited to attend Dreamforce in San Francisco this year, along with 130,000 other tech enthusiasts from all over the globe. The annual conference is hosted by Salesforce, with CEO, Marc Benioff as the Master of Ceremonies. This year's keynotes included Yahoo CEO, Marissa Mayer, Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg, thought leaders Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer, among other luminaries.  

I decided to drive, so I could include a couple of meetings on the way back. Midway from LA to San Francisco, I was startled to see that my gas tank was on empty. I had filled it up the day before my trip, and wondered how I had not noticed the low fuel indicator light. As soon as I started looking for signs of a gas station, I passed a freeway sign that read, "Next Gas Station - 20 Miles." Yikes! I said a prayer, and exited the freeway in search of a local gas station.

I pulled over and reached for my trusty apps. I Yelped. I Googled. I Mapquested. Just like the sign said, it looked like it was 20 miles to the nearest supply of petroleum.

Surrounded by farm fields, I pulled up to the one and only building in sight. The sign said, "T & A Shipping." My only reference for T & A harks back to my days on Broadway. In the song, Dance 10, Looks 3, from the mega-hit musical, A Chorus Line, one of the female dancers sings praises for her new "tits and ass," and raves that her new assets are helping her to get noticed at casting calls. I hoped that T & A Shipping was transporting something else, and went to look for help.  

I yelled into the silence, "Hello! Is anyone here?!"

A man with a kind face popped out from around the corner. He had his phone in his hands and had been taking photos of the huge beautiful rainbow above our heads. I hoped that the rainbow was a sign. I had just driven through a torrential downpour. At the very least, I felt reassured to know that I wouldn't drown in a flood today.

The man asked, "Are you Ok?" I told him that my fuel indicator was at the bottom of the empty range, and asked if he could direct me to the closest gas station. "Well... it's about 20 miles from here." Being a girl from the big city, I smiled and insisted that we were obviously having a misunderstanding of some kind. There has to be a gas station in the vicinity!

I could feel myself starting to panic. This is the United States of America, land of oil and gas subsidies. Ifever I needed payback for my busy tax dollars at work, it was now.

He smiled knowingly, like he's been through this conversation before, and replied,"Nope. The closest gas station is 20 miles from here." I took a deep cleansing breathe. I asked, "Can I pay you for enough gas to get me to the closest gas station?" He replied that they only used diesel in their trucks, and my PT Cruiser could not digest diesel fuel.

OK - On to Plan C. "Can you tell me where we are?" The man disappeared into the building and came out with their address written in magic marker on a piece of paper. We were in Cantua Creek, [7] as in "U-a-can't" get there from here without gas in your tank!

I took another deep breath, found my AAA card, and made the call. I pay extra money for AAA+. AAA's extended coverage area plan, which I was hoping covered farmland. The operator tried unsuccessfully to locate my whereabouts on her map, and transferred me to another operator in another call center. The second operator told me that the address I had just spelled out for her from my piece of paper did not exist. Uh-oh...

Just when I realized that my deep breathing had morphed into hyperventilating, the man told me he would be right back and disappeared into the building again. I steadied myself, and hung in there with the AAA+ operator, while she searched for my whereabouts.

The man came back with his co-worker, who was carrying a gas can!! "Wow! Thank you so much!" I hugged them, and called it quits with the AAA operator, who was still trying to determine our general location.

The good Samaritans, Mario and Francisco, kindly poured the priceless petrol into my tank. Then they started my engine to make sure that the fuel level indicator registered enough gas to get me to the gas station. I tried a couple of times to pay them, and they would not accept payment! Wow!!

I wanted to thank them for their kind generosity. So I told them about my invention,  

My Wake UP Call^® Motivational Alarm Clock^® Messages and My Good Night Messages^™

and gave them download codes for complimentary months of messages.

And then Mario and Francisco gave me a big portion of what I call, "Soul Food."They both looked so touched that I had wanted to "bless them back." They received my gratitude gift with such openhearted appreciation that I got "God bumps."

I hugged my new friends, and got into my car to get back on the road. Francisco told me not to leave and ran back into the building. A minute later, he came out with a box filled with his freshly picked lettuce. T & A Shipping transported lettuce around the country!

The lettuce is really delicious and a great reminder. "Let us" always have enough gas in the tank to get where we are going! Lesson learned!

My Newest Post @HuffingtonPost.com - Out of This World: My Spectacular Birthday Gift This Year

Enjoy my new post at The Huffington Post.

To help celebrate my birthday this week, my husband, Tom, kindly offered to take me and our two Maltese dogs, Hope and Faith, for a sunset sand run at my favorite beach in Malibu. I love this beach -- it is one if my favorite places on the planet.

After our moonlight run, we sat down on a nearby bench to put on our shoes, when the sky lit up with a spectacular silent air show of brightly lit orange flying domes! I wish I could say that I had the presence of mind to sit there and take it all in. I didn't. I panicked, fearing that we were suddenly being hunted by drones, in an obvious case of mistaken identity.

I fearfully picked up Faith, (this irony does not escape me), and started running towards our car a few blocks away, leaving our other dog, Hope, with Tom, while he frantically tied his shoe laces.

It suddenly occurred to me that these flying balls of lights could not be a squadron of drones. They were completely silent, unlike the drone I had seen and heard whirl past my window in Santa Monica the day of the Santa Monica College shootings earlier this year. And there were at least twenty of these glowing globes, which would definitely be "overkill" for drones.

I stopped and turned to wait for my husband. As I watched them silently soar through the sky, I reached for my iPhone and shot a couple of photos. From this side view, the orange globes appeared white.
  

My always mild-mannered and even-keeled husband caught up with me and yelled, "This is so freaky!!!" We thought we were the only humans within earshot, until we heard a man scream from his yard across the street, "Holy (Bleep)!!!!"

Once I relaxed, I knew this was the most magnificent birthday gift I have ever received. It was as if the night sky was a giant chocolate birthday cake with brightly lit circular candles! Each globe went dark and vanished into thin air, once it cleared the cliffs and was flying over the ocean. A few minutes later, the sky show was over.

Tom turned to me and said, "I don't know how I will be able to top this next year." We reached our car and sat there searching every possible keyword we could think of until I searched "UFOs Malibu CA." To our surprise, Malibu has quite a history of documented UFO sightings. The photos we found online showed brightly lit orange globes that looked exactly like the ones we had just encountered!

We shared our experience with a few friends, one of whom happens to be a rocket scientist - lucky us! We thought there may be a "logical" explanation for our out of this world encounter.

What if these unidentified flying objects had just been weather balloons? Well, it turns out that weather balloons don't fly straight in regimented configurations, or have orange bright lights which they independently turn on and off themselves. We wondered if we had misidentified a meteor shower. Meteors were nixed for the same reasons we had disqualified the weather balloons theory.

As the inventor of My Wake UP Call ^® Motivational Alarm Clock  ^® Messages and My Good Night Messages ^™ , I've always believed in being as open-minded as possible, without letting my brains fall out.

This universe is incredibly vast and contains so many other planets and galaxies. It seems short-sighted and extremely self-centered to hold onto an antiquated belief that our little planet is the only one in this entire universe, and those beyond, with intelligent life on it. We realized the most reasonable and rational explanation is also the most realistic one.

"To infinity and beyond!"

Sleep Deprived? Sleep Soundly with My Good Night Messages & My Inspirational Lullabies @MyGoodNightMessages.com

                                                        

Do you or someone you know suffer from insomnia or sleep deprivation?  Sleep deprivation affects millions of Americans every night and is a leading cause of health issues like obesity, heart disease and Diabetes.

Did you know that sleeping pills are now the most commonly prescribed medication? As Dr. Oz points out, this is not good news. Studies show that a good night's sleep includes transitions between light and deep sleep, REM, which is absolutely crucial for replenishing brain cells and waking up feeling rejuvenated. Sleeping pills just make you crash.

AND have you heard about one of the most commonly reported side effects, in addition to drug dependency? Brace yourself! -- Users report sleep-binging in their kitchens while they are sound asleep, and even worse, getting behind the wheel and sleep-crashing their cars.

Did you know that your mind is the most open during the last five minutes of your day – when you are transitioning from your conscious mind to your subconscious state?  And most people go to sleep with the news.

So as Dr. Wayne Dyer says, “If you don’t want to be trying to solve the world’s problems and the murders you just witnessed in your sleep for the next 6-8 hours, don’t watch the news before you go to bed. You can actually program your mind positively and help yourself to have a good night’s sleep. 

 We have the solution for you. I partnered with Psychoneurologist, Dr. Sylva Dvorak, to create My Good Night Messages^™ - research-based, safe and sound sleep solution messages. Each patented, nightly five-minute message includes simple sleep tips and tools, and relaxing meditations. Also included are My Good Night Calls^™ bedtime reminders, and My Inspirational Lullabies^™ — new inspiring lullabies, which I wrote and recorded for dreamers of all ages.

Enjoy the great night's sleep you've been dreaming of - safely and naturally - with  My Good Night Messages and My Inspirational Lullabies @MyGoodNightMessages.com
