Belle had a bit too much sea water yesterday, which meant that when we retired at 2am (with a solid 88% of the scenes of the novel now screenplay written), she woke me at 4 am to go outside.
Her method of doing this is to sit upright in bed and basically smile at me. It’s a little unclear if she needs to go outside or just feels like a pre-dawn conversation.
After a quick and necessary walk, I thought about returning to bed but decided to do the workshop prep I was planning to do mid morning from 4:30 am onward.
A wonderful Facebook Chat with Katherine about a posting in our Miracle of Money group around 6:30, but mostly organized all my old notes and created a playlist.
Somewhere around 9 decided to try sleeping for a bit and woke at 10:20.
Coffee at Acre.
Feeling a little out of sorts (a few hours of sleep and workshop prep, plus my mind mostly on Downton Abbey and my screenplay) I thought a quick soak to cleanse and revive myself seemed prudent before teaching at the Lotus.
The workshop, frankly, was for me a great triumph.
I synthesized all my old data, all of which is prep for an online course I want to create and film this spring.
Most importantly, what I loved about the workshop is that I actually TAUGHT SOMETHING. Tons of useful info + several key take-aways that offered powerful yet simple core strengthening.
This was not Belle’s first yoga class (she often attended my one hour AOL corporate classes in Beverly Hills), but this was her first 2.5 hour workshop. She was FLAWLESS, basically napping in the sunlight while the rest of us grunted and groaned (she’s just so goddamn smart.)
Jeremi took the workshop and we hung out briefly afterwards. He’s just a great guy — and can I tell you it means a lot when someone treats you after teaching or an event, even if it’s just a delicious bowl of cream of broccoli soup.
[By the way, although I didn’t do everything in the workshop, I demoed so many crazy challenging ab things, that I’m very curious what my abs will feel like tomorrow morning.]
A 2 hour massage with Robert followed — UNBELIEVABLY GREAT, in fact better each time — and then dinner with Susan and Belle at Hillstone.
Susan noticed that I seemed a little tired at dinner, and we laughed knowing that 2 hours sleep, teaching an 2.5 hour ab workshop, and a 2 hour massage can produce that effect.
MIRACLE PARKING on the way home via my old friend Brian — the one who lives 151 feet away — so I got to introduce him to Susan for the first time.
And now … just praying that Belle lets me sleep through the night, since this is like our biggest Miracle Week ever. Like 45 marketing meetings and the Home Stretch for the screenplay.
By the way, I love these three photos together the way I sent them on my newsletter, with Belle and me somewhere between these 2 ab possibilities. (Although Frankly, I’m feeling closer to Buddha than anonymous washboard guy — but then again, now that I’ve taught the workshop, I’ve got no excuses.)
