weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Such an intense day, I don’t know where to start (well, I know when it started –– at 5:30 am and that it’s midnight and I’m still working away) … however, even though I’ve just spent a few hours watching the videos for Hoot Suite and the last thing in the world I now want to d...

So today, on Easter Sunday, I decided it was time to finally remove my beloved live Christmas tree from my wonderful garden. I loved this tree so much –– as did all the neighbors and those who could see it –– but perhaps 3 months after the fact, it’s time to take it down. Since it was kept outside, i...

In Bikram today, the newish teacher –– someone I think is intelligent and competent and nice –– super-bizarrely decided to open all three windows and keep them open … even though the temperature had plummeted to 97 degrees. The standard for a Bikram class is 105 degrees, so her doing this was totally...

I realized I need a hat for Cancun –– I think my little ski cap/beanies aren’t going to work in Mexico –– but fortunately we live near a FANTASTIC Hat Store called Goorin Brothers (established 1895 and now run by super-nice hipsters). I do love the fedora I bought –̵...

I’m happy to say that on my secret tumblr blog where I write about my diet/exercise regime every day, reporting my weight loss (or gain), waist size, Body Fat and BMI (taken from a $40 device I bought on Amazon, so I’m not sure how precise it is), I now have exactly one follower. And frankly, I...

As I try to rein things in and simplify the volume of activities that I feel are incumbent upon me … my DATA went crazy. Meaning, AT&T texted me to tell me that I’ve used up 95% of my data for the month in the first 4 days of my billing cycle. Clearly something is wrong –– and they totally ...

Today I fully realized that things have expanded so in my life that I can’t just rely on “it’ll all work out” as a scheduling strategy. I am a master scheduler, having lived for many years in NYC via private yoga clients, and now scheduling my creative ones (across three continents ...
