When I stopped teaching at the Laughing Lotus, I suggested they retire the slot I’d had for 9+ years –– Saturday @ 5pm –– as a gesture towards Retiring the Jersey. And today, I decided that it was time to eliminate from my wardrobe a key and vital element:  an Angès B pullover I’ve had since &#...

It’s been … an intense week. Seriously. And I have to say that I’m so so glad I rented Hansel & Gretel:  Witch Hunters. I know that it has a 14% (out of 100) rating on Rotten Tomatoes, however, the reviews from the people are strongly different. (Basically 80% on iTunes give it 4...

Well, I hope not, however, I just turned in a piece for MIND BODY GREEN entitled “7 Things No One Tells You About Being a Yoga Teacher.” The editor-in-chief Kerry Shaw is awesome, and even though they want their pieces to be 800 words, and I turned in 2700, it’s basically all good.  I cut...

So yesterday was the launch of DOWNWARD DOG and (I think) it was a spectacular success. Meaning, that I really have no idea what one is supposed to happen during the launch of an eBook.  It’s not something I’ve any cinematic references for or that frankly –– even though I know tons of authors –...

I am personally quite appreciative of this, but I’m not sure I would have advised it or done it myself. Mastin Kipp is a dude who’s on the rise and say what you will about him –– and I’m not going to say anything –– I love how he describes his gamechanger for The Daily Love. The Game Chan...

Belle’s incredible illness and miraculous recovery this week really did throw off my schedule –– I feel like I lost two full days –– but I was so thrilled that I managed to visit my forever friend Genevieve’s new restaurant that opened at the end of April. It’s Mulberry & Vine in Trib...

I’ve always loved that Einstein quote:   “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” But I want to offer my own riff on it: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though everything is easy.  Th...

When you’re writing something that’s MAJOR (whether it’s a book or a screenplay), there’s always that weird moment when you first start to share it with the world. I remember with my first produced feature film script, when during a meeting a producer told me how much she loved Fran...
