weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

This morning –– against all odds and with the defrosting still incomplete –– I awoke and rushed to HOUSE OF AIR for my 8 am boot camp class entitled AIR CONDITIONING.  [These photos, by the way, are from EXACTLY where I was jumping.] In summary:  I LOVED it. Really, my fitness goal I now realize is entirel...

Yesterday I quoted Brad Goreski saying “Cute does not pay the bills” and while I totally understand that, in my heart of hearts I just don’t believe it.  (Susan pointed it out tonight as well, just as we were about to enter a Fragrance Fest –– more on that soon). I do thi...

            Like Tintin, I awoke today and immediately did a long (6 minute) headstand. Apparently Tintin also does yoga in another one of his adventures, again without any explanation –– it’s just sort of happening and no one remarks or even seems to notice it. Belle...

Specifically, , a documentary about screenwriting. Seriously.  (And I think they were just going for the Script/Crypt sound-alike thing in the title for laughs without realizing they’d made an actual horror film.) But retracing my day to happier beginnings … A super-productive morning (I c...

First, I think it’s only fair to say that I’ve accepted that my best guy friend Dan has been abducted by aliens. There’s really no other explanation for 2 days without communication, particularly given that he’s in Sedona. And, more importantly, quite frankly that’s what he...

Last year on New Year’s Eve I was reclining in business class on a Virgin Airlines flight to Sydney, en route to the New Zealand/Australia cruise that really did change my life. Frankly, I’ve had a lot of New Year’s Eve experiences in my day including (in what feels like another life) my ...

What an easy, sweet and delightful day. I began by teaching 3 ladies –– the assistants at my SF private client’s firm –– and it was incredibly fun.  Belle was thoroughly invited and was at her very best behavior, basically greeting everyone, parading around with some stray socks, and then sitting qui...
