So stressful — even though it was triumphant — to watch Jeremiah’s decorating challenge on RZ.  I understand that the show (all entertainment, in fact) deals with tension, but the manufactured, impossible obstacles nature of this challenge struck home for someone recently off a decorating...

My tribe is always a little hungry. Love this bear resting in a large coffee mug at Acre-SF (still mysteriously hard to find on the web, but I did).                         A day substantially devoted to discussing and uploading logos for sponsor...

Well — not really, but still one hour before class text from Jasmine at the Double L asking if I wanted to sub for her at 4:30. Class was delightful and spontaneous. I loved EVERYTHING about it. Monday morning brought the final version of the book promo video — such a delight to share. Cyrene d...

A quiet Sunday morning with Belle doing something she rarely does:  waking me up early.  Specifically at 5, then 7, then 9 am (almost exactly on the hour) for outside bathroom visits.  Well, the 9 am one was where she stayed inside to throw up a small charcoal-like stone (about the size of a large avocado ...

I believe one of the nicest things Adrian ever said about me this summer is that I am a “ruthless editor.”  Now that may not be your idea of a favorite compliment, but it’s definitely one of mine. An interesting morning — a knock on the cottage door by the neighbors involved in our ...

Mid-morning beach walk with Belle and Susan — endlessly wonderful. Once again, Belle demonstrating another version of yesterday’s lesson about guidance from the universe. My little dog is such a pro at chasing sticks and frisbees, that somehow she’s now confused by tennis balls. She’...

Morning spent debating the pros and cons of being on a HSN show for holiday gift-giving.  I’m surprisingly extremely excited about the possibility. Lunch with Susan while watching Rachel Zoe.  Entirely in love with the show this season although beyond stressed by Jeremiah’s challenge:  decorati...

First week in San Francisco is nearly complete which is unbelievable.  Truly. Yesterday, I decided to explore Kabuki, a Japanese bathhouse.  Impossible not to compare to my favorite Beverly Hot Springs, though.  I prefer BHS’ deeper pools + the hot water is hotter. Kabuki has the better Steam Room.  ...
