weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Can it really only be six days ago that we left Florida? Filmed the book promos today with Dan and Belle in full talk-show format.  Based on the quick screen grabs and in-camera playback I’ve seen, Cyrene did an incredible job.  Here’s a close-up of Belle looking at me: Filmed segment two at t...

My little dog was a superstar on the flight back from JFK to LAX.  Her seatmate asked me to snap their photo so he could text it to his girlfriend. Back in LA for four days of video promo filming for UPWARD DOG before heading to SF. Superstar Crackpot Dan Scranton picks us up at the airport and whisks us o...

Today I had my second meeting at La Grainne which Belle and I both love. The day began, however at Bosie, my friends Nicky and Kiley’s tea parlor in the West Village, with breakfast with Sarah Herrington (an awesome red-haired poet/yoga teacher).  Sarah is fantastic and so is Bosie — I am deter...

Trying to recover several important paintings of mine that are “lost” — and ignoring crisis mode and just visualizing their happy return.  Met Isaac outside Sankalpah Yoga Studio for one last attempt at possibly finding them.  After inspirational call from Katherine, managed to keep the f...

Awesome breakfast with Tevis and Christina (my new Director of Everything). Shopping with Amy and Harry. New sneakers for the book promo video shoot on Friday purchased at Urban Outfitters. Wonderful reunion and creative brainstorming with Cristy Candler (seeing her Tuesday for the third time in WICKED). D...

Sunday in CT for family reunions and to see HOPE — awesome new black lab puppy of my sister. Took tons of video footage of Hope and Belle for editing into the book promo video reel — and for my own pleasure. The very noisy rental car got me there and back in record time (including exploring a c...

So many themes this summer, particularly on a cultural level.  It seemed EVERY movie or TV show we watched directly referenced DIRTY DANCING (seriously, it happened a dozen times, culminating in a tribute scene in CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE.) Another was STONEY END — first the Barbra version, then a discuss...

Why this photo is so great — but it just is … On our near final day in NAPLES, I have perfected the quirkiest tour ever (“here is the place where I mailed that definitive letter to X”) and Adrian and I are now celebrating the last mailing here with another definitive mailing.  The F...

Amazing to have this time off. A matinee yesterday (for $8) of CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE (again more Ryan Gosling consideration happening). DEAD AGAIN on netflix for the evening entertainment. Took a series of photographs of the Beach House (can’t believe we are leaving on Saturday after 2 months) to remem...
