weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Inexplicably, my iPhone 4 screen cracked yesterday. I didn’t drop it –– just put it into my bag –– but somehow the screen was semi-shattered. After a visit to the Apple Store with Belle, I did upgrade to the 5 (let’s be honest, I’m in it for the long haul with Apple) and decided also to s...

This weekend, I remembered once again just how much more refined one’s sense of time becomes during the editing process. Film captures images at 24 frames per second, and my editor and cinematographer and I spent hours shaving off 4 frames (or a 1/6 of a second) or adding 2 (or 1/12 of a second) and ...

Last night, Sarah and I went to see Joy Harjo speak at a PEN event, where she said a lot of interesting things, a lot of poetic things, and some things that were just plain … bananas.  [My favorite –– which just may mean she’s not great at math –– was talking about how many families there are w...

I thought the word “fork” was in the Frost poem somewhere, but it’s not. Nonetheless, this does not diminish the LOA miracle of last night. After walking to and fro Cristy’s pad (60 minutes each way), and realizing I wanted some pasta before Adrian swung by, I also had a dim recolle...

Yesterday, Belle and I moved into our amazing digs for May and the little dog immediately found her place in the sun. So many metaphors –– from all my filming experiences over the weekend, to finding the spotlight as I launch into major promotional mode for the new book –– but just so thrilled to be settle...

Whatever you believe is the source behind my cold –– Abraham’s lofty belief that my body hasn’t caught up with my new higher vibration; or sick building disease re: the AC in Cancun;  or just stress behind moving and a new book release;  or good, old-fashioned germs –– one thing is for sure: Ge...

When you’re up at 4:30 and on set by 7 am on a Sunday morning to film your book trailer, you can help but feel supremely virtuous and enormously productive. The shoot was splendid –– actors were amazing, my crew spectacular –– and I have to say the footage looks INCREDIBLE. And now –– exhilarated but...

Today, my cinematographer and I trolled around NYC and Dumbo shooting the cityscape we’re going to project on our male model’s body tomorrow. This included the Meatpacking District, and the West Village, and even my old digs in Chinatown. Super-fun –– and then off to American Apparel to buy fou...

Sometime after the Dolphin swim, my system was overloaded with Abraham-Hicks high vibrations and I lost my voice. Then I returned to SF and moved everything else out of the cottage, fled to Mill Valley to stay with my college roommate for 2 nights (which sounds like the plot of another god-awful Adam Sandl...
