Join me as I recount a magical evening spent with my adult daughter who has returned home after a year abroad, exploring an art-filled warehouse and learning invaluable lessons about perspective, understanding, and being present in the moment. 

Discover how our interpretations can act as energy blocks in our lives, limiting our ability to fully experience the world around us. By setting an intention to not interpret the reasons behind my daughter's return, I choose to savor the moments we have together. Come along on this journey as we explore the power of perspective, the beauty of art, and the importance of living in the moment.

Isn't it fascinating how affected we are by the seasons? Science will tell us that a lot of it has to do with daylight hours and circadian rhythms, but I’m looking more closely at the associated thoughts, expectations and attachments that we bring to the seasons and how they are affecting our lives.

Lisa and Emmy Award Winning Director Producer Michael Spiller chat about life, work and believing that anything can happen when you take healthy creative risks and get out of your comfort zone.

• How fear of embarrassment gets in the way of growth
• the importance of clarity, communication and collaboration
• leading by example with vulnerability
• creating safe spaces to create 
• stepping out of your comfort zone

Michael Spiller won both an Emmy and a DGA award for his directing work on TV’s Modern Family. He launched his successful directing career after years of working as a director of photography on high-profile feature films, documentaries, commercials, and music videos. After getting his first directing work on HBO’s Sex and The City, he moved to Los Angeles and continued to direct some of the hottest shows on TV. His credits include over twenty episodes of Modern Family and Scrubs, as well as multiple episodes of The New Girl, Don’t Trust The B—- in Apt 23, The Middle, Cougartown, Bernie Mac, as well as directing the pilots for Jake in Progress and Big Day and serving as a supervising producer on those series. He was the executive producer/director for the critically-acclaimed series, The Mindy Project. Other work includes Ugly Betty, Life as We Know It and the HBO series Big Love. And one of my personal favorites - Firefly Lane.
