weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Attended Jasmine’s class this am per her request since it was being filmed for the website.  Fun to attend and delighted that I’ve still got a fully bloomed Peacock Pose in my repertoire. Pic not of me but of Yoga Colleague Simon Park in the one-handed Peacock variation –– which I’ve sort...

Taught my first 12:30 Lotus Happy Hour on Friday and it was delightful. It’s always a moment or two before I can tell how much of myself I can really reveal to the room — will they be charmed or confused — but the very small class and I were totally on the same page. Played (twice) James ...

Wrote two scenes –– well really lines/short monologues if we’re being honest–– for the new play this morning before racing off to Jasmine’s 9 am class.  A parking MIRACLE allowed me to arrive exactly on time.  Nonetheless, perhaps 85% of my waking hours yesterday devoted to brainstorming and ex...

Why is no one talking about this? Robert Morse way back in 1961 was playing the lead (and won a Tony) for HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING.  And now — 40 years later — is playing the head of a 60s business in MAD MEN (Bertram Cooper).  Amazing on so many levels. Watched most of ...

I admit that lately I have felt close to Patti Stanger (the Millionaire Matchmaker) level of frustration about my inability to “set the date” for various signings and events. Of course, I know that for TV for the new book, I am more or less on call and at the whim of network TV’s changing demands. (Somethi...

A Moody Monday for everyone I know, particularly me because I wish I could have been back in LA for Dan’s birthday at Cafe Gratitude.  Two East Catholic Youths have to stick together –– plus Dan is the co-star/interview of Belle’s promotional video, after all –– but I took consolation in that I’ve finally ...

Sunday morning brought another (non-iced) coffee at Acre, although indisputably delicious. [More 3 — or is it 4? — of my AWE program:  wrote a scene, aligned via a little Horowitz, and taking advantage of my empty stomach, practiced Uddiyana Bandha.] Realizing almost immediately on awakening th...

I awoke truly bent out of shape after watching VAMPIRE DIARIES online until 2 am.  It took a major breakfast at Cafe Divine to start getting me sorted back into any kind of shape to face the day. This is such a difficult transitional period –– the one where we have to standby as the good vampire turns bad ...

Such an interesting and intense Friday. Rose early to begin my new regime for a more AWEsome life: A Alignment  — W Writing — E Exercise Enjoyed awesome morning meditation and then crafted one scene for the new play and then some rolling around on the floor for yoga practice. Subbed at the Lotu...
