weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Yesterday, I swear I searched for five full minutes for matches to light one of the burners on the stove, only to discover that they’d been there the entire time. Or at least I think so … Bashar –– my favorite channeled alien –– speaks a lot about shifting between endles...

Morning conversation with my amazing producer-to-be re: the novel’s option and her attorney about the contracts.  There will soon be a “break out the champagne” moment but this was just really nitty-gritty clauses and such (versus our exuberant “let’s put on a show”...

Taught my 4:30 Lotus class and I really wanted to start out mentioning Buffy but found myself holding back.  How well do I really know these students, I wondered, thinking I’d play it safe and talk about the “normal” Hindu deities they’ve come to expect in a Lotus class. Midway...

Astonishingly lovely drive to Sonoma to visit John Curry and Janice Crow, two artists who are friends with Susan who were having a show of their work over the weekend. I loved so much of their stuff –– took several photos of pieces that might just work perfectly with the decor in my unmaterialized San Fran...

Amazing Friday afternoon at the beach listening to the Emperor Concerto (Brendel & the Chicago Symphony Orchestra) while Belle threw her heart and soul into fetch.

Yesterday was Belle’s birthday.  A lady never tells her age and I will not divulge Belle’s, but without losing an ounce of Puppy Enthusiasm, she now blends Soulful Maturity and Enduring Grace into her awesome mix of virtues. Although not officially her party, last night was the opening bash for...

Spent the afternoon in a momentary tizzy over being censored. Had posted “something” “somewhere”  that I thought “someone” had deleted –– and then the next day (right before I called the ACLU and Alan Dershowitz) –– I discovered that I was … (drumroll) … WRON...

I really love this picture of Belle I look last night. Every night while staying in the Magic Cottage, I lift my 75 pound pup up to the loft bed we share.  And 90% of the time she immediately positions herself central in the bed so there’s no room for me. I don’t take this personally. Instead, ...
