Alora is on a distinguished road
Default Hello from the Bay Area

Hello!

I've been a fan of StevePavlina.com for about a year now. My husband found the site online and showed me an article. He went about his business but I stuck around.

Perhaps it was the pregnancy hormones. I was pregnant with my second child when I found Steve's site, took one look at it and said, "Yes! That's what I want!" and I was driven like a mad woman. I moved from doing psychic readings all of the time to writing more. It's been a great shift.

I've got two great daughters and a great husband (who Steve reminds me of, actually, in his wild test-the-world-think-different ways - and it amueses me also that Erin is a psychic medium like myself - I do not know them personally but I have a feeling that I can relate that that wonderful, ever-changing, idea-generating, energy-filled home life).

I've been doing improv comedy for 10 years, I do Law of Attraction fun stuff and I'm working on a website for metaphysical moms in addition to my current work.

Life is good!!!!
Alora

Hey Alora, welcome!

Great to meet you! Do you have any videos of your stand-up?

Hi Dan,

It's not stand up comedy, although most people think I mean that when I say improv. It's improv like "Who's Line Is It Anyway?" where you make up scenes and skits and songs on the spot based on audience suggestions.

It's very fun! And no, I don't have an video.

Thanks for asking!
Alora

Sounds fun! Stand up is one of those things I've wated to try for ages but haven't gotten into yet. Sigh.

I think I am going to dedicate my thirties to learning the entertainment business. Music and comedy, specifically.

Pretty awesome that your husband reminds you of Steve.

I worked as a tech support call center operations manager a few years ago, and I was always trying different experiments to see how we could improve efficiency. After a while our center director would just say, "You're bored with life again, aren't you? Yeah, go do it!"

Where do you do the improv? Could I come see a show?

I do improv at ComedySportzSanJose.com. Yes, you can come see a show - you can also take a class. The beginning improv class is taught by the founder, Jeff Kramer, and he is fantastic at helping everyone and anyone learn the basics, improve and have fun. I highly recommend him.

alright welcome to the neighborhood alora! Go ahead and post a thread with your deepest concerns. I have found when I first joined the community was very helpful and did not judge me.

I have grown leaps since.
