Happy Holidays Friends!

Posted in Humor~Events at 10:02 pm by Dr. Trina Hess

Here’s a message from my friend Dan Hubbard, whose music is charging ahead in the charts.  For those of you in the Illinois/Indiana area, check out one of his shows this season!  

“The Holiday Jamboree with Backyard Tire Fire and Friends on Saturday was a pretty awesome night.  We raised $5,000 for the Share The Music program for kids in need.  The crowd was great, and I posted a more detailed blog about it on my website if you get a minute.

” ‘See You Again’ climbed 5 more spots to #190 on the AMA charts this week and is now being played on 116 stations nationwide.  It’s been pretty exciting watching the progress. 

“We also just confirmed our own show at the beautiful Castle Theater in Bloomington for May 21st, so mark your calenders!!!  Show time, ticket sales, and opening band still TBA. 

“I posted a song called “Postcard” from my new unreleased material cd on my music page if you want to check it out.

“Finally, I am playing Thursday night (23rd) at Diggers with Mute Karma and Chicago Farmer.  I will open the show at 8pm so all you old folks can make it out.  I will also be pulling out all 3 of my annual Christmas songs, so don’t miss it!

“Thank you so much again for all of your support, and for listening to me talk about myself.  I am grateful and thankful.  Merry Christmas and love to all.

Sincerely,
Dan Hubbard

Serendipity and the New Tom Petty

Posted in Humor~Events at 5:43 pm by Dr. Trina Hess

How To Dance As Well As Bristol Palin

Posted in Humor attitude, Humor~Creativity, Humor~Events at 6:34 pm by Dr. Trina Hess

What’s the best thing about Bristol Palin?  She—like her mother—brings ratings.  And the funny thing is, the viewers don’t all have to like her.  Many people may tune in just to see her fail. 

Doesn’t matter.

The point is, she is compelling. 

Compelling doesn’t HAVE to mean likeable.  That’s the mistake we make—trying to fit into a likeable, pleasant mold. 

Some of us just aren’t.  Never will be.  And, whether we’re likeable to a certain culture, or in a certain time frame—that doesn’t extend to a lifetime of likeability. 

So what’s the big deal?  How can that make you a better dancer?

When you’re following YOUR own, particular, idiosynchronized, authentic humor-dance, you will ALWAYS be a star! 

How?
1.  You won’t and can’t be compared to others, because yours is a category all its own.
2.  You won’t and can’t spend energy comparing yourself to others because YOU are the standard.
3.  You won’t and can’t lose because when you are in your own groove, you can ONLY win! 

How are YOUR dancing skills?  How funny are THEY?
