While they sometimes outdo themselves, it’s clear that the forces of irony and synchronicity are always hard at work.
In the same way, I’m reminded of my own paraphrase of a line from the Sufi mystic Hafiz (really from his “translator,” Daniel Ladinsky) that has helped me through many rocky mo...
After it happened, I did a little research.
In the many thousands of Zoom meetings I’ve hosted or participated in, it’s never happened before.
Apparently, this specific glitch shows up less than 1% of the time, and most estimates put it closer to fractions of a percent.
The fact that it happe...
It seems like the perfect metaphor for the past year (or at least my year).
Last night, in the middle of a full-blown snowstorm, our drive home from a holiday gathering not only took twice as long, but also included one wildly swerving moment on the ice.
Given that we awoke to seven inches of snow, m...
Apparently, I may not be as self-aware as I like to believe.
I learned this exactly yesterday, in a medically reviewed article in which I was interviewed as one of four experts HERE.
Specifically, according to Tasha Eurich, PhD, while 95 percent of people describe themselves as self-aware, ...
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
If that’s true, how much is a box of pictures worth, especially if they’re irreplaceable?
A friend of mine found that out this week and I had the pleasure of watching it unfold in real time.
Patricia Scanlon and I have been friends foreve...

Specifically, it happened on my most memorable equinox moment ever, when I taught a live yoga class in Times Square.
The annual event — dubbed “Mind ...
I thought the most memorable moment this holiday was when — on our final midnight walk — Vlad and I saw a fully grown deer bolt across the privately lit community college parking lot, only to stop and stare back at us from a relatively safe distance.
We frequently see deer on our mountain hikes — and on...
Nowhere am I more conscious of this month’s theme — It’s All In The Timing, Meditation HERE — than on Friday afternoons at precisely 2:29 pm.
No matter what I’m doing — often in the middle of a creative client session, more than once during a nap — I’ve set my iPhone alarm to ring.

Although I had (wisely) budgeted time for delays, this was one I hadn’t anticipated.
When it comes to publishing mechanics, in my experience, Amazon tends to underpromise and overdeliver.
They told me it would be up to 48 hours for tech approval to order proofs of my new book.
In 4 hours, I had an...
