I took a Lyft for the first time to pick up my car from the dealership. Halfway through the ride, the driver received a call through the car's system—it was about his own car, which was about to be repossessed. He quickly took the call off the system and told the person on the line he could pay it in two weeks. From my own experience, I knew that when a car reaches repo status, they usually don’t want to hear promises of future payments.

I asked him a few questions to understand his situation and then made a decision. I called the bank and paid off his account. Seeing that young man cry overwhelmed me, and I ended up in tears too. He never asked for help, which made the moment even more meaningful. I’m so glad I could help from the heart, not for attention.

Before I left, I told him, “Some of the best people, including me, have been where you are. Keep going—better things are coming.” It’s a true blessing to be able to help someone in need.

Here’s a great dog, being fostered by a neighbor of mine in Rancho Mirage, still looking for her forever home. Do you have room in your hearts and home for the special girl? If not, please share.

Worst birthday ever?
Sitting in Air France Biz Class lounge awaiting departure to LAX after flight from Nairobi, Kenya wrapping up a phenomenal safari birthday trip from hubby Al, and until an hour ago was exited and hopeful about our presidential election. But as the TVs screens all over the lounge and emails are coming in, the unthinkable, unfathomable seems to be happening in our great country - the crowning of King Trump. And Pub control of the Senate as well as statewide losses.

The announcements are today Nov 7 as votes are being tabulated but the voting was cast on Nov 6.

This will be a birthday to remember for the wrong reasons.

I fear that the younger generations will not enjoy living in a democracy as those of have and that history will report that AMERICA’S great experiment as a Democratic republic commenced its decline in the age of Trump.

Little River Band @ Pechanga in Temecula. No originalMembers from 1979?/80? When I met with the band to sign their recording? Publishing? Contract, when original signatures ( pre -electronic ) were required. As an unaccompanied 29 year old woman at a hotel/casino/concert venue I ended up ordering late-night room service after the concert. Not terribly exciting but safer after being followed thru the casino to the elevators. I pretended to forget something and hi tailed nack into the casino , weaved in & out & ditched him.
Such was a sample of the sexism & bulls..t that I dealt with as a young female music lawyer in s male/ dominated business. If I had smart phone then or a better memory now I could write an exposé!
