If Today Was Your Last Day

Heather Vale Goss — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:33:25 +0000

I just read about an influential writer and producer named Joe Bodolai who helped create Canadian comedy TV. He was instrumental in the creation of The Comedy Network, shows like Kids in the Hall and Comics, and co-wrote the original Wayne’s World movie with Mike Myers. He also wrote for SNL. Our paths crossed with [...]

Beautiful on So Many Levels

I just posted a video on the LWL blog that inspired me on multiple levels, and I’m sure it will do the same for you. Read my article and watch the video here: Playing for Change in Japan. Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries of Life! Beautiful on So Many Levels is a post from: Heather Vale [...]

A Grimm Ending to America’s Got Talent

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 19:32:19 +0000

Well, another season of America’s Got Talent has ended, with yet another disappointing (or shall we say Grimm?) ending. Yes, that’s right: the results of the show, once again, are poppycock… but unfortunately not of the princely variety. Last year the talent-challenged Kevin Skinner (who I prefer to call Boomhauer) won the competition. I’m not [...]

Famous People Players Were Fighting Gravity First

Heather Vale Goss — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 16:30:36 +0000

As America’s Got Talent moves into the finals, there’s a group of young, funky, awe-inspiring performers called Fighting Gravity that could go all the way. They’re Barry’s favorite act, and one of my faves too. They’re former college students — 13 brothers from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at Virginia Tech — and they’ve mastered [...]

Act As If You Have What You Want

Heather Vale Goss — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 14:10:08 +0000

As someone who was born painfully shy, with little self-esteem, I made friends with the “act as if” method (also known as “fake it ‘till you make it”) in high school. I went from a quiet sophomore to a confident, wildly-dressed junior, all thanks to my drama club and one very empowering exercise. See, my [...]

Can’t Americans Judge American Talent?

Heather Vale Goss — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:13:40 +0000

So a new season of America’s Got Talent has launched, and this time with American judges suspiciously absent. It was strange enough that it previously featured two Brits — Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne, with heavy accents to prove it — but now the only previous American-born judge, David Hasselhoff, has been replaced by Canadian-born [...]

Fighting Spirit = Fabrication or Inspiration?

Heather Vale Goss — Sun, 30 May 2010 17:08:37 +0000

A couple of days ago, some anchors on Fox’s Good Day New York said Bret Michaels must have been faking his illnesses over the past few weeks, because nobody can recover that fast… and because Michaels has gotten some nationwide sympathy over his ordeals. Here’s a video of the accusation: I admit, I wanted Bret [...]

Why People Love Underdogs… and Hate Villains

Heather Vale Goss — Thu, 20 May 2010 20:17:07 +0000

Last year I wrote a post about British singing sensation Susan Boyle called Why Does the World Love an Underdog? It wasn’t picking on Susan — it was pointing out limiting patterns many people have, and why we need to provide value in order to receive it — but it caused quite an uproar from [...]

The Raging Debate on the Spiritual Side of Avatar

Heather Vale Goss — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 06:57:48 +0000

There’s been a raging debate going on the past week or so about James Cameron’s movie Avatar. Barry and I went to see it a week ago, and both agreed it was the best movie we’d ever seen… both visually and intellectually. We chose the 3-D version, which has come a long way since the [...]

Boomhauer Goes To Vegas

Heather Vale Goss — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 03:53:51 +0000

… and Aerosmith calls for a recount. But more on that story in a moment... So another season of America’s Got Talent just came to an end, and with it came a lot of, “Holy $@*&!” and “You’ve GOT to be kidding me!” in our house. It got so passionate around here that Barry thought [...]
