The consequences of taking a leap of faith are by definition unknown. I have no statistics, but I wonder if following the famed advice from naturalist John Burroughs––  “Leap and the net will appear” ––Has resulted in more broken bones than safe landings. I could easily have pr...

New Feb Meditation HERE It was an unexpected compliment. It happened on our early evening walk route, one that takes us all the way to our favorite vintage store as the farthest leg of our journey, before we circle back home. Every day we pass Vlad’s vet. Yesterday, I was inspired to drop in, k...

Honestly, it wasn’t the six flights of stairs. And although it was getting later than I wanted, it wasn’t entirely that I genuinely miss Vlad whenever I’m out and can’t wait to get home to him. Nor was it that the day had gone sideways early on, and even though it was Saturday night I still had a li...

Steve Jobs has made such a positive contribution to my life that it’s hard to be even cross with him over this kind of mistake. Namely, Jobs frequently quoted Picasso as saying: “Good artists copy;great artists steal.” In truth, Picasso probably never said that. Instead, the aphorism’s origins ...

Jan Meditation HERE Free Workshop HERE As is often the case, sometimes when I’m writing about a topic, it surfaces in unexpected ways in my life.

You see on our last walk on Christmas Eve, quite close to midnight, in the quiet park space that divides our apartment mega-complex, our quiet reflections wer...

Tell a New Story HERE It was (for me) a jaw-dropping moment. And it was also the perfect final chapter for this month’s theme: Abundant Expectancy (without expectation). A scene played out that I’d long been envisioning––to be honest, make that dreading––but completely not in the way I expected. ...

We all love Green Light Synchronicity. I’m speaking of those Magic Moments when everything just seems to align together harmoniously, all in perfect timing. One of my favorite––and quite literal––experiences of this was several years ago when I taught a Thanksgiving Day yoga class. Although ...

To be honest, I’m still processing it all. (Although I suppose you could attach that statement to pretty much everything that’s ever happened to anyone, anywhere of any sensitivity.) Even so, I admit to being a little unnerved by events this week–– although I also do appreciate the synchronicity they...
