Although I have really taken a deep dive into Lumosity –– a website that promotes brain activity –– and through a few minutes of daily training my Brain Profile Index has doubled in the last 19 days (according to them) … tonight I had a moment of thinking, “What the hell is wrong with me?”...

In some ways, I have a pretty thick skin but in other ways, I do not at all. The Universe keeps sharing its lessons whenever I send out a mass-mailing. Four mailings ago, when I merged several old mailing lists, I heard from someone who was quite wonderful, but who wanted to rehash a transaction from 1998....

Belle and I traveled to Big Sur (after 2 early morning client calls) on 2/14/13 to be ready to marry Daniel and Lana in a magical, impromptu ceremony (involving rose petals on the ground, some toning, and staring into each others eyes) in national park.

So last Monday, I had a BRILLIANT consult with Joanna Penn, who is a writer of mysteries and also has one of the best blogs focused on writing and publishing EVER.  I left the consult inspired (and a little exhausted) but mostly totally on fire about all the vast possibilities we had to promote my new...

After a wonderful morning client call –– and a no show consult with someone in Australia who clearly did not understand the time difference –– I went with D&S to Ecstatic Dance in Oakland and … well, even though I wish it were, it’s not really my thing. For example, I deeply admire the free...

One of my many favorite things about Belle is that whenever she gets her leash caught on something –– the gate in the garage passageway, the wheel of a parked car when she’s rounding a corner –– she simply stops and waits to be released. She never tugs or tries to pull or do anything to aggravate the...
