Back to the Present!

I'm back on the west coast (Yay!), living in Ojai, Cali and it is Sept, 2016... and I am back to writing! So much has happened...I am creating a teen Internet series that will springboard into a social force for teens. My vision is to change the conversation among teens around social issues that are greatly affecting them and to fuel teens to express themselves safely and constructively.
I am also a Certified Advanced Practitioner of The Akashic Records. I have been accessing my Records and the Akashic Records of others in the form of Akashic Readings. I have come to realize that I have always had the gift of opening my heart fully to access the Divine. When I was little, it was called the Catholic church, which was way too restrictive for me. I've been a spiritual seeker for over 30 years, and my spirituality and studies have led me to the Akashic Records. It is said that people working in the Akashic Records have been 'called' to the Records. This is definitely how it happened for me. I was not seeking them, in fact, I did not know what The Akashic Records were! But as soon as I began to study about them, and began to access my Records using the Pathway Prayer Process, which is a specific prayer that 'opens' a sacred path for the Divine energy to come through, I felt as if I had come home. Life really is good!

Back in NYC

I moved back east last April, and am living in NYC, in Washington Heights. It's been fours years since I last blogged. My experience in LA was very interesting. I was there for twelve years. Lots of lessons, lots of spiritual growth and an amazing group of special friends that I will honor for  the rest of my life.
I'm so amazed, as an entertainment industry professional, at how closed the industry is in LA, especially for women. I feel, after working for over thirty years for the three major television networks in LA and NY, that the world of female directors is still way too small. Part of my stepping away had to do with my discouragement over this. But now that I am back in NYC, and reconnecting with the down-to-earth forthright-ness of this city and my colleagues, I can feel my directing 'mojo' coming back.
Thanks to a very special friend, colleague and talented executive producer, Tammy Leech, I just finished directing my first film. It will be screened here in the city, then off to film festivals. What a terrific feeling and experience it has been to be working again with such talented actors and crew.
Mary's back and looking forward to fabulous next projects!

More manifesting!

OK..biked 45 miles on Sunday..got a flat tire again on the 126..bummer..BUT I was near the same bicycle shop as my last flat and the owner came to pick me up, fixed my tire and I continued my ride ending at the Pacific ocean just in time for a magnificent sunset! The only restaurant we could eat at was rather expensive, but our group set the intention that the Universe would take care of the bill..well it did just that for me. I received an unexpected check in the mail the next day, which more than took care of the restaurant bill. These are great Universal exercises in the power of manifestation.

Universal Choreography

OK..here's a good one...Four of us cycling together on a rather long run..the goal was to go from Santa Clarita to the ocean..42+ miles.Beautiful ride, beautiful friends. At about mile 28, my back tire went flat...somewhere in Santa Paula..we ask a passerby if there's a bike shop around..turns out it's right across the street about 50 feet ahead! And it's a performance bike shop. Tony Ragatz..custom designs his own racing bikes..veteran racer..passionate about his work...takes care of all four of us..not only replaces my tires, switches out my handlebar stem for a better fit, replaces the (very bad) tires on Christine's bike, tailors Lisa's bike for her and speaks with John about his next bike (which he's been desiring!). Oh and Lisa finds the bicycle pants she's been wanting! We learned tons about cycling, and Tony has offered us a free bicycle maintenance class the next time we pass by.
So ya think that flat tire was choreographed? Can't be anything else..Angels, guides,my mother from the other side, simply the law of attraction, call it what ya want but there's definitely something big out there that listens to us. Honest, folks, this happens every day..sometimes we just don't notice!

Easy to manifest!

It's amazing how easy it is to get what you want...to manifest every day what you need or desire. I'm gonna keep sharing how often this happens for me on a daily basis. The key here is to be grateful for all the great stuff..wonderful people and things we already have in our lives. This is not a religious blog! Religion and spirituality are personal. This is simply about how easy it is to bring what we want into our lives. My first example..I've been wanting to upgrade my Final Cut Pro editing program..this morning I saw on twitter a special deal on the FCP Upgrade...low price...free shipping! I love when this happens!! The Universe listens!!!!!!
