The Bliss Blog

  The photo that welcomes the viewer on Barnet Bain’s webpage seems to personify the energy that fairly oozes from a man whose film credits include What Dreams May Come, (starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Annabella Sciora), The Celestine Prophecy, Jesus, as well as The Linda McCartney Story. It portrays someone comfortable in his own skin, encouraging…

People are stressed, short on time and – especially in today’s economy – short of money.

Technologies and online social media like Facebook and Twitter provide us new means not only to socially connect and motivate people…

  One of my greatest joys over the past twenty-some years, has been interviewing transformational teachers, those I refer to as “movers and shakers” who make a positive difference on the planet. Last week, I had the opportunity to ‘double my pleasure’ by doing a joint interview with Will Arntz; one of the producers of…

Created by Gene Wilder, Joanna Bull and Michael Radner (the husband, counselor/friend and brother, respectively of Saturday Night Live launched comedian extraordinaire…

  In the early 1990’s I happened upon a man whose words captured me from the pages of a book that had literally fallen off the shelf into my waiting hands. It was about a Jewish approach to 12 step recovery. At the time, I was living in South Florida and my husband (a recent…

  Jeff Brown is a sculptor and his medium consists of nouns and verbs that he lovingly carves with finely honed tools. The results are exquisite word creations that truly belong in a museum. I am in awe each time I read his postings and when I moved through the pages of his book entitled…

  Sitting on my Mom’s South Florida screen porch mid afternoon. Light breeze is wafting through the fronds of my favorite palm tree that stands like a guardian at the door. Engaged in conversation, imagining that we are on the beach that she no longer has the energy to get to, as a result of…
