Remember that moment in NOTTING HILL where Julia Roberts says: “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Oh, how movie star Julia Roberts yearns for simplicity in such a heart-breaking way. I feel similarly every time I try to take a yoga class: “I’...

Fantastic Thanksgiving yesterday. First a beach walk with Susan and Belle in the misty rain and fog.  I have never seen the tide as high.  I’m not good with distance in the abstract, but I’d say that 2/3 of the beach had vanished, leaving tons of odd, root beer-like foam on the shore. Returning...

I really like this picture I took today of Belle on our beach walk — it feels very lunar voyage.  More about that tomorrow. I also love the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  It feels like the most chill day of the year. Morning skyping to India to get the Facebook page revved up for UPWARD DOG. Email f...

I awoke this morning to learn that the site for UPWARD DOG was down. And simply because I had forgotten to renew the domain name. For $12.95. Yup. The thing is, that was all happening on the day before Thanksgiving.  And two days after Thanksgiving — on Saturday — the major PETA email goes out ...

The morning was devoted to getting the driver’s side mirror fixed. It is like the best/simplest metaphor for clarity.  (I also like that the way Raymond the mechanic wrapped the window; it looks like it’s just had a face lift).           I found my Alignment thrown of...

Yesterday began at 4am — awakened by Belle but also that oddly magical Brahma Murti Time. Cleaned and organized for three or four hours and then went back to sleep. Excited for my friends Taniya and Michael’s baby shower at Dosa, as I was leaving at 11:15, a loud scraping sound stopped me. The ...

Especially at the Apple Store. I feel about the Apple Store like Holly Golightly felt about Tiffany’s — NOTHING bad can ever happen to you there. Sure, I’ve been there once or twice with a problem (one they’ve always solved), but mostly it just feels that I’ve stepped into a b...

I remember this day vividly, but only time for a shorter entry tonight. Intense practice in the am (7 minute headstand), then taught my Lotus 12:30 to the largest class ever (I have no idea why).   I also went into it with a complete freedom to just teach what I felt was most compelling for me, even throwi...

The morning spent at the high-speed wireless temp office space, uploading photos from the NYC events for THE LATEST on this site and on the UPWARD DOG site, too.  Lots of thank you emails and updates and internet promotion that required being around young dot com types and those bulletin boards you can wri...
