Yoga and Dating 101
I just did Yoga for the first time in years. Why, you ask? My friend Jackie sent Jo and I a Christmas gift via mail. It was a DVD/Book of the Basic Yoga poses. My first reaction was to hand it to Jordan and say - this is more for you than it is for me - as he is a big Yoga nut. But this morning I woke up and it was the first thing I saw and I suddenly thought - what if it isn't for Jordan? What if it is for me? No accidents, right? So....
I popped it in my DVD player and did the Yoga. It felt good to stretch and, more than anything, it deeply relaxed me. It is 10am and I think I now need to go back to sleep. *Yawn*. Not thinking that Yoga is going to be the way to rev me up for my day, but I think my body has missed me. As a dancer all my life, it has probably put my body into slight shock, becoming so inert. Yes, it was good to move. I chose something different. Will I do it again? Yoga, that is. I put no expectations on it. It is possible. Maybe next time not so early in the morning.
Another strange and wonderful surprise. To sum up a very long story, my cousin Leanne and a counterpart Christine Hart have spent 2005 putting together a reality TV series proposal called Dating 101. Christine is the owner of 6 Minute Dates in Calgary, providing Dating services and coaching. The show concept is based on a team of 3 women that would help one hopeless chap with bad dating karma. Well, without me knowing, Christine decided she would be the Dating Consultant on the show, Leanne would be the Image Consultant and I would be the Interior Design Consultant. The first time I heard about any of this was during the holidays in Moose Jaw. Leanne called me and said - ummm, I am going to need a bio...we have included you in a TV series proposal and Christine has a meeting with a very big Canadian producer in Toronto in a few days. !!??@!! Needless to say, I sent my bio.
The cool part comes yesterday when Christine emails Leanne and I and says...
GOOD NEWS!
They love it and see that it has a lot of potential. They have an entire production team in Calgary already to start shooting so they've asked us to put together an agreement before any more work is done. I'll fill you in on the details via phone when I get back but things look good. The ball is entirely in our court now so the faster we can draft an agreement (outlining what we'd like, roughly) and get it off to them, the better. I have standard formats to follow as a starting point.
Talk to you soon!
Leanne called me last night and was kind of speechless. I mean, It could still amount to nothing, but It could also amount to something and, to me, it all seems very surreal as I didn't directly have anything to do with any of it. Ease, joy and grace, baby. I must have Something, Somewhere working for me. Affirm, Manifest, Repeat.
Neato burrito.
