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...

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’...

Practicing serenity — and to paraphrase SARK’s “How To Be An Artist” poster — while I am friends with freedom, I am not so enamored with uncertainty…NOT AT ALL. Lots of meditation breaks (aka “naps”). Began in earnest writing the new, top-secret-ish play yest...

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.  ...

Morning service at the Oakland Center for Spiritual Living which was fantastic. Awesome music by Susan’s friend Nadine Risha;  very global and vibey mix of chant-y, Sanskrit mood music and some serious Barbra, too (“A Piece of Sky”). They do this thing where they welcome newcomers, asking...
