weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

I awoke this morning to learn that the site for UPWARD DOG was down. And simply because I had forgotten to renew the domain name. For $12.95. Yup. The thing is, that was all happening on the day before Thanksgiving.  And two days after Thanksgiving — on Saturday — the major PETA email goes out ...

The morning was devoted to getting the driver’s side mirror fixed. It is like the best/simplest metaphor for clarity.  (I also like that the way Raymond the mechanic wrapped the window; it looks like it’s just had a face lift).           I found my Alignment thrown of...

Yesterday began at 4am — awakened by Belle but also that oddly magical Brahma Murti Time. Cleaned and organized for three or four hours and then went back to sleep. Excited for my friends Taniya and Michael’s baby shower at Dosa, as I was leaving at 11:15, a loud scraping sound stopped me. The ...

Especially at the Apple Store. I feel about the Apple Store like Holly Golightly felt about Tiffany’s — NOTHING bad can ever happen to you there. Sure, I’ve been there once or twice with a problem (one they’ve always solved), but mostly it just feels that I’ve stepped into a b...

I remember this day vividly, but only time for a shorter entry tonight.

The morning spent at the high-speed wireless temp office space, uploading photos from the NYC events for THE LATEST on this site and on the UPWARD DOG site, too.  Lots of thank you emails and updates and internet promotion that required being around young dot com types and those bulletin boards you can wri...

Very intense leaving at 4 am for San Francisco, but delightful to land at 11 am and have the full day ahead. As I said, I spent a large chunk of the flight listening to my Human Design reading, one that has totally rocked my world and redefined so much for me.  Still processing it all but took extensi...

First time this is challenging to write as I just got back into SF post 4am wake-up for 6 am flight.  But I will be a disciplined writer and forge on! Post TRIXIE + PEANUT, I … Spent the morning on complex financial transactions (a tax payment, then a confirming call to the IRS — we are on grea...

Belle’s first signing was a triumph. Trixie + Peanut was an ideal venue. So heartening that the first two people there who bought books were  … STRANGERS!  This great guy who learned of it through twitter and then another woman who was shopping in the store and drawn to the book. So many wonder...
