About this site

Welcome!

Here you'll find entertaining and sometimes funny content about 1). all things spiritual - I'll take some deep dives, so you don't have to - 2). single urban living as a gay man (however this content works well for all single, urban dwellers), 3). travel (I lived all over the world) and just for an odd mix, 4). creativity. I hope I can help you with all four of these things, but if not, I hope it'll be at least entertaining and sometimes funny.

James the Mime offers a unique, trusting voice in today's chaos. Let's have fun!

On the creative front, I - James the Mime - was, you guessed it, a professional mime. Mime was a blast. I worked on cruise ships, off-Broadway shows, and with symphonies and operas. As a playwright, I've been featured at HERE, The Abingdon, The Actor's Studio, The Great Plains Theatre Conference, The NY Fringe, The John Houseman Theater among many others. My writing has been published all over the web including at HGMLQ, fictionontheweb.com, The Story Shack, and I was awarded a prestigious Hawthronden Fellowship in Playwriting.

However, besides mime, creatively I was unable to make a living. I had an opportunity with a Broadway/film director in 2003 (He directed my play at The Abingdon), but it was too much for me to do such comprises. So I turned down his offer to make my play into a film. I've come now to realize the goal of life is to die with your soul intact. I always made money with mime.

Spiritually, I've always been a seeker, and consider myself a Celtic Christian. I'm a certified Boot Camp intuitive, have my Masters in Education from California State University. I'm also a certified Tantra Yoga instructor, where I spent thirty days in an ashram in Nepal.

As far as travel goes, I've lived and taught in Saudi Arabia, UAE, China, Thailand and Nepal. And I've always lived as a single dweller, so I have learned several things over the years on how to save money on travel and urban living. Many teachers spent a lot of their money when they taught overseas and had nothing to show for their efforts, other than good memories.
