weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Today was Susan’s birthday and we celebrated with an incredibly lovely, extremely hand-crafted gifts-oriented gathering at Anamandara. It is also the site where I first met Val and Clark and Jonah, almost a year ago to the day. The morning began with both an intense script-revising sessions –&#...

I’ve been future bribing myself all day with “if you just get through X, Y, and Z you can watch MISSION IMPOSSIBLE tonight” and well, I’m almost there. I just sent out a preview draft of my first tele-seminar email to some trusted friends for comments.  [I want to make sure it&...

Back to writing … and back to visualizing. Last Tuesday night was the screenplay reading and honestly –– although I took the script with me to Vancouver –– I haven’t looked at it for more than 2 minutes over the last 6 days. Tonight I began work again, feeling that it...

The board game Transformation technically does not have winners –– but honestly only losers say those kind of things.

My blogging schedule has been thrown off by Vancouver. I returned late on Thursday night back to “The Loft” where I was staying.  Coming in post midnight,  changed everything.  [The Loft by the way, is fantastic –- owned by these two super-great guys and incredibly quirky and comforting all at ...

There’s a lot more to say about yesterday –– flying to Vancouver in the am, re-visiting spots where Adrian and I spent 4 months in Fall 2009, and mostly seeing the private screening of LLS’ new movie. But right now only have time for this if I’m going to attempt taking a yoga class (I can...

Susan reminded me of that Jack Kornfield title AFTER THE ECSTASY, THE LAUNDRY today, except for Belle and myself it was the DMV and the Parking Authority (both). After a screenplay reading, I always feel totally wiped out.  It’s the combination of rushing to finish the work close to the last min...

It’s a big spiritual and part of the Civil Rights movement, but I love the idea of The Welcome Table regarding the creation of art. AMAZING screenplay reading tonight. And I am too elated/wiped-out to write more until tomorrow morning. Just a huge shout out to my actors and friends (and actor-friends...
