The reason I started this blog...

Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!

Really, it's not that hard to imagine driving off Mulholland Drive...

So, one of the many things you must do when in California (or so we were told), is to take a drive down Mulholland Drive. 

The following are words I'd use to describe this road:

winding (whose idea was it to put a road on top of a mountain) 
scenic (I'm assuming; the only thing I ever saw were the floor mats)
breathtaking (don't forget your nebulizer)
awe inspiring (how did the contractors ever get building permits )
fast paced (the guy driving behind us might as well have been sitting in my lap, or at least have put a dollar tip in my underwear)
glamorous (it definitely pays to go to acting school)
hair-raising (never have I seen such a large percentage of toupees in convertibles in one place)
untamed (the rattlesnake and mountain lion warning signs were a little unnerving)

It was fun, and challenging, and oh so memorable, and next time I promise I'll open my eyes!
