Eliot and I are pleased to announce that Hazel, the Broadway Bound musical we are involved in, is having a stage reading at Molloy College, Rockville Centre, Long Island, January 27th and 28th, 8PM.
We are very excited to see some of the script rewrites and changes in stage settings. This is going to be great. Hazel is wonderful and congrats to the entire staff.
Join us.
Marsha Levine, (C) dining with us at last night at Joe’s Stone Crab, Miami Beach, Fl. We sat at our favorite table, served by our favorite waiter, and indulged in our favorite Joe’s meal of stone crabs.
This is our friend, Marsha Levine, from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. We met Marsha because she frequents Miami Beach for several weeks, or sometimes for several months, every winter to warm up. We share good, mutual friends.
I have admired Marsha ever since we first met because she lives life on her own terms. Every year she has several new missions to achieve, traveling to new exotic places plus taking several courses to learn different languages. She does this mostly on her own. Even though she is in a loving, committed relationship, her partner has other obligations and can’t venture out as much.
I wanted to interview Marsha to find out what makes her tick. Unlike many of us, who get set in our ways as we get older, Marsha keeps trying new things. She is to be admired because she keeps living life like she is ageless. Her bucket list keeps getting longer and longer. A good lesson for all of us.
Please listen to her interview. It’s inspiring.
Sara and Katerina
Click here to view the recent LA40 show.
The reason why I liked this particular show so much is because host Katerina Cozias, of LA40, interviewed spiritual leader, Sara Landon. Katerina’s show is all about giving yourself the opportunity to make the changes you want to in life, no matter how old you are. This holds true for lifestyle and career. It’s never too late for Chapter Two.
Too many seniors are still not happy with the choices they made in their lives. I hear complaints all the time. While I’m not really into practicing spiritual rituals on a daily basis, I surely believe in mediation and its benefits. I also truly believe that I am the only one who could make me happy. I wish others understood how to get out of their funk and to believe in themselves. We don’t have time to waste.
You don’t have to believe in anyone other than yourself. When you hear what Sara had to say, try not to judge her for being so confident in her wisdom. The key is to appreciate the thoughts she shares and the joy you can achieve.
I hope you listen and enjoy.
Sara Landon is a globally celebrated transformational leader, spiritual teacher, and channel of The Council. She is also an inspirational speaker, author, entrepreneur, and business strategy consultant. Her vision is to help create an awakened world and inspire the rapid manifestation of The New Earth.

He And She AvatarMind iPal™ Robots
As luck would have it, the first person I approached at the iPal booth turned out to be the CEO. He told me he is marketing the iPal for the children, elder care, hospitality and retail market.
You are one of the first humans to see this robot. Check out the video
Children
iPal is a fun companion. It can talk, dance, tell stories, play games, encourage physical activity, and enable them to chat with friends, share videos, and safely connect to the internet and social media.
Parents
iPal is a teacher for their children with spoken language learning and tablet-based educational programs, providing educational content in an engaging manner that supports social development and encourages interest in science and technology. Parents can remotely control iPal and monitor their child’s safety and activity on their smartphone or desktop from anywhere and at any time.
Elder Companionship/Care
Many elders are alone and lonely. They often have problems keeping track of everyday activities, such as taking their medicine. iPal is a constant companion that supplements personal care services and provides security with alerts for many medical emergencies such as falling down.
Retail/Hospitality
An example is a chain of children’s stores where iPal greets children when they come in the door, entertains them, tells them about products, etc. Another is as a concierge/greeter in hotels to provide guests with a higher level of personal service.
I’ll let you know about future developments. The iPal Robots will be available mid-year.

My CES video interview
I have a solution for seniors who have some hearing problems, but are not quite ready for hearing aids. I was introduced to the IQbuds at CES. They are a combination of wireless headphones and a hearing aid.
Made by a company called Nuheara from Perth, Australia, the Bluetooth IQbuds are capable of cancelling out ambient noise yet amplifying the human voice. You can also use them for hands-free calls, streaming of music, and to personalize a user’s experience
They sell for $199.00.

RIP Steven McDonald, Paralyzed Officer Who Championed Forgiveness, Dies at 59
Stephen was the brother of Owen McDonald and cousin of Danny McDonald. Eliot and I worked with both Owen and Danny in the 1970’s and are still in touch with them. Stephen, a New York City police officer, was shot in Central Park in 1986.The McDonalds are a big, wonderful family. You can read all about Stephen here.
Here we go again. Hippie time. Volkswagen is planning to bring back the 194-inch long boxy van that we all know so well. The original, rear-engined bus was launched in 1950.
The new bus is nothing like the old. It’s powered by a pair of electric motors that provide 369 horsepower to all four wheels. That means the bus can travel as far as 270 miles of range.
The Beatle-type bus may even become an autonomous driving model. The spokeless steering wheel retracts into the dash at the simple push of the round VW logo. There is space for eight passengers over three rows .

Brooke Wanser of the Las Vegas Review Journal
Brooke Wanser and me at the Luxe Cafe, Palazzo, Hotel, Las Vegas.
There are five decades between us, yet Las Vegas Review Journal Brooke Wanser and I had no lull in our conversation when she came to interview me about being the only one to attend 50 years of CES trade shows. I had such a good time talking to her. It was like reliving my career as a journalist again as she told me about her newspaper beats. I thank Brooke over and over for my profile story.
Here it is.

Hi-res holographic visuals were a Showstopper at CES. Kino.mo, based in London, was offering their Hypervision holograms for retailers, advertising, trade shows, events, showrooms, etc. Watch the video. It’s quite amazing.

Full Disclosure: My Client
Bloomlife got a lot of attention at CES, primarily because women with big stomachs were walking around showing off their automatic track and monitoring systems. Bloomlife tells pregnant women the frequency and duration of their labor contractions. It’s a personalized digital pregnancy wearable.
The concept is brand new. The company is only renting the monitor for the last trimester at $149.00. While some future moms may not feel that this gizmo is necessary, I bet most will love ❤️ it. There’s nothing like having a little reassurance that’s it’s time to head to the hospital. I did a video with a company executive giving a fast synopsis of the product, and I also posted a Bloomlife one which gives you great insight.
I stayed at the Palazzo Hotel in Las Vegas this year. Our new favorite.

LG Electronics introduced its first Picture on Wall “wallpaper” TV at CES. This is pretty miraculous. David VanderWaal, head of marketing for LG Electronics USA, said the new W7 series measures just one-tenth of an inch in depth at the 65-inch screen size. It attaches to the wall via magnetic brackets that leave no gap between the wall and the TV. It’s like looking through a window.”
Customers will be able to see the new LG Signature W7 at seven Magnolia locations at Best Buy across the country: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, Dallas, Boca Raton, Fla., and Paramus, N.J.
