The Dali Lama and why he isn’t my BFF
Deborah Kimmett | Feb 15, 2012 | Comments 0
Dear Diary,
Not a good day. I went to hot yoga to get the creative juices flowing. All that heat activates the creativity in the right brain especially the part at the end when you lie on your mat and nap.
During the corpse pose the woman on the mat next to me starts texting, I try to be Zen and breathe deeply. I try to stay philosophical but she won’t stop pinging. I give her my best sad emoticon face. Then she turns to me and says LOL.
I do not Lol.
I’m old-fashioned. I say ha, ha, ha.
People use LOL randomly. Your dog is dead, LOL. You’re fired. LOL.
Then I went home and I went on Facebook only to find out Dali Lama had Unfriended me.

Do you have a story to tell but life gets in the way? Or did you used to have good ideas but they seem to have dried up? Or do you have writer’s block inside you that is the size of an iceberg? The kind of frozen block that did the Titanic in?
Well the lifeboat is here folks!
“Drawing on 30 years of writing and teaching writers I know how to get you writing, (or painting, or any other ‘ing you can think of ) back in action.
Though a series of right-brained exercises, let me help you get the creative juices flowing and those ideas on the page.
Sign up for a special Chip off the old Writer’s Block workshop set for Sunday, March 4th 10-4pm. at the Wellington Public Library.
Ages 12 and up are welcome, as are all levels of experience.
REQUIREMENTS: Pen. Paper. Open Mind.
Besides spending a day writing, with like minded people, you will be entertained and inspired and you will walk away with a toolbox of ideas to keep you going after the post workshop glow, fades.
Second City and CBC Radio performer and writer Deborah Kimmett is as writer, performer and funny lady, but spend a day with her and you’ll know she lives to write – and wants you to write as well. She is author of two books, seven plays and two movies.
