I know it's not quite the holiday yet but this might be the last log for me til after that clusterfugazzi called "Christmas".

We are going to Sundance! Well, I am not actually going physically but will be there celluloidly. The film I did back in the spring called "Grace" has been accepted to the Sundance Film Festival. Not sure of exact details, just got a message from a very proud Paul Solet, the writer/director, last night.

It was a feature we shot in Regina, Saskatchewan that has got kind of a vampirey-sci fi, love story, drama thing going on. Don't quite know what that means in terms of when you can see it, but when i know, i'll pass that info along.

I am off to Seattle for a couple of days. LOVE Seattle.

For Christmas I am off to this rather high-end health spa in the hills near San Diego. I know.....look at me! Well la-tee-dah, Ferris! It was a birthday present from near and dear family friends. It's all very healthy and lovely. Yoga, hiking, meditating, guest speakers, phenomenal food grown there on the property etc.....

Not your typical debaucherous Christmas filled with spiked egg nog and crazy family members but i am not really into the Griswald Family Christmas style gong show......for those of you who don't know, the Griswald's were the family from National Lampoon's Christmas comedy movies with Chevy Chase as the dad. Something always went wrong, the christmas tree caught fire, someone got stuck in the chimney, grandparents got electrocuted ..... etc.... slapstick stuff.

So my Christmas dinner will probably be organic beets and wild brown rice. Hmmm. The only Christmas where i will come back healthier then when i left. A novel idea.

So whatever you are up to, wherever you are in the world, and regardless of your crazy uncle Tom (cause every family's got one), hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy new year.

May 2009 bring peace and happiness to all of us. Around the globe and in our own lives. A rather sage friend of mine always picks three things to work on about herself for the upcoming year. Mine are gratitude, tolerance, and positive thinking.

Be happy. Be safe.
