Yuri and I are on a race to try to get things done before the holidays hit in what seems like record time. We have a bundle of projects in various stages that we are trying to get checked off our To-Do lists, so Santa can check us off his Nice list (and not the Naught(y) one!)! We are releasing Con Artists (finally) by hosting a free convention for all: Con-Con, we have been meditating in a daily practice for every single day this year (personal goals of ours), and we are prepping for our holiday travel to Europe. May your year end with as much gusto and excitement, and here is to a wonderful 2015 for us all with naught a moment to spare!

September - boy that is hard to write, I can't believe we are almost to the fourth quarter of 2014 already. We are excited to share a short we star in that is available mid-flight on Virgin airlines, and a taste of fall, with Yuri's sassy peach & nectarine cobbler - which is sure to invite both longer summer days and cooler fall nights with every bite. And in proper back-to-school style, Yuri and I are hunkering down with pen & paper (ok, computer and keyboard) and doing own own version of homework. I hope this fall is bountiful for each of you!

We just returned from our Australian adventures and it is back to work and back to summer! Thankfully Yuri and I have been working like mad in VO, comics and videos, and we are deep in post on Topsy McGee. Yuri has been writing a bunch and we are enjoying the long days and the warm nights!

I hope July is jammed full of as much fun as you and your inner childlike-wonderment-filled self can make it!!

We are well into spring with May in full bloom. I hope you are finding love (of yourself, of life, of others) and generally enjoying the beautiful weather. You can even use hypnosis to help move you toward a more happy life! I have been fortunate to book several commercials, so let me know if I appear on a screen near you. Yuri has had a wonderful run of some new VO projects and been hard at work writing (he even won a few awards) and is working on a couple of scripts and we are headed to OZ on a summer convention adventure! May your May be bountiful and fun!

Click here to read as a pdf: Merry March newsletter, with Tara and Yuri, March, 2014

I am so very excited that it is March, and not just 'cause that means a Happy Birthday to Sir Yuri, who I am just so happy was born and is in existence. Birthdays in general bring me joy! My own goal this year is to take more time for myself and practice meditation and yoga more frequently (which I am pleased to report I have been implementing). I am doing a personal 365 Project on self love and I even got all woo-woo and did a 10 day International EFT Summit, on energy meridians and moving emotions and limiting beliefs stuck in the body! Hooray for space in life to pursue self-care!

Thank goodness for the holidays and the winding down of the year to remind us to check in with ourselves on our life's journey, and perhaps journey a bit as well. We took the time to travel to Southeast Asia, and do we have fun pix to share! The title of this newsletter is a nod to the Thai word "jaem" which roughly means clear, bright, distinct, or cheerful plus let's all "jam" in our respective areas as we move forward. What a great way to start a new year! We just finished shooting our steampunk adventure Topsy McGee and Yuri is recording his novella Tough City as an audiobook. Welcome 2014, we are raring and ready for a wonderful new year! May this year be your best year yet!

The holidays are just around the corner, and it is the perfect time to get retrospective on your life (things planned, things changed, things ahead)... Shelf Life is coming to a close (pre-order those DVD's now - you won't want to miss the bonus eps!) and new things are on the horizon. Remember, an outward network is just as important as your neural network so as you engage with friends and family this holiday season, try to treat yourself to some brain work as well! We are planning to rest and relax (and adventure a bit) for our holiday trip to Southeast Asia. Enjoy getting clear with your plans for the future and relish the holiday season as we dive into a new year!

As the days get shorter and the nights get cooler (I hope, since we are in the middle of a heat wave), summer gives way to fall and this fall I hope you get some much needed time outdoors, walking, breathing and enjoying the bounty of mother nature. Shelf Life Season 4 is finally wrapped up (pre-order those DVD's now - you won't want to miss the bonus eps!) and we are prepping for our next plan; all the while Con Artists is having its cast/crew screening in LA! Not to mention Yuri's noirvella Tough City which is now available for purchase or download. Enjoy being saucy and spicing things up this fall.

Holy Wow! It is May already.

Yuri's in a magazine and I'm on DVD! Plus I can't help singing the praises of this a-may-zing book (see what I did there?) Thinking, Fast and Slow! From our wacky wild life to yours, may we all have a bit more madcap May.

Hello friends,  

Mahalo (the Hawaiian word for thanks) seems appropriate this March already. Spring is starting to bloom and Shelf Life Season 4 is in full swing as of today, March 5th! (we hope you are enjoying it), Tara is appearing in her first big screen flick The Call and we just returned from Hawaii where we shot an episode of Hawaii Five-0 together and also got some playtime for hikes and get-togethers with friends on the island. We are filled with gratitude and love; may we all have a bit more Mahalos in our March.

Tara :) (&Yuri)

P.S. - Today is Yuri's Birthday, so if you see him (or just "see" him online) wish him a happy happy!

Holy Wow! It's September already. I love the fall so much. The baking, the leaves, the glow of lights (since the days are shorter) and the hunkering down. Yuri and I have finally taken some much needed rest and went to Desert Hot Springs for a long weekend! Whew! It is amazing how rejuvenating even a weekend of R&R can be.  And now we are hunkering down. Our second feature film Con Artists is a hairsbreadth away from finishing post-production and we will be screening it this fall. Plus, there are two films out now I think you shouldn't miss. Sweet September!

All is Well in 20-12!

 

Hello!

Can you believe it's 2012 already!? I certainly can't. Last year was a whirlwind and I expect this year to be just as exciting. We have plans for films, more episodes of Shelf Life and look forward to working on more fun projects.

I was so excited when Yuri surprised me with a weekend getaway to Paris for our anniversary! Bon Voyage, indeed! :) And then so relaxing to spend the holidays in Idyllwild and Desert Hot Springs for a little R&R.

Here's to thrilling and fantastic surprises for your year as well, and to surpassing your goals with your own New Year's Resolutions. My focus this year is on visibility (for our projects, for my work and for our company). Bigger and Better in 2012!
