weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

Dismayed to wake up after a day of  perfect fitness and diet to find that … I am exactly the same. Down to the tenth of a pound, or fraction of an inch, or percentage of BMI (Body Mass Index.) I don’t know what I was expecting, but I wanted at least a little reward after all my Good Behavior. I...

Anyone who knows me, knows that my very favorite fitness book ever is CONVICT CONDITIONING by Paul “Coach Wade.” I love its subtitles:  “How to Bust Free of All Weaknesses –– Using the Lost Secrets of Supreme Survival Strength.” The author spent 19 years in San Quentin and the like ...

I have one private yoga client who spends weeks in Asia and we work via Skype. For a while now, I’ve had Creative Coaching clients in NYC, LA, and SF –– and recently one in Australia. As of today, I have a new one in London. So in any given week, I am scheduling people between both U.S. coasts, Austr...

I decided a while ago to MEMORIZE the Financial Meditation created by Abraham-Hicks as a way of deepening my connection to the material (and keeping my brain alive.) I also think it harkens back to a piano teacher in college who was big on memorization, insisting that you didn’t really “know...

Today marks a full 40 days before I leave for Cancun and it’s time to get really serious about my fitness goals. Like, time to cut all wine out of my life for 40 days level serious. And because I thrive best when something becomes a Creative Project, I started a secret blog elsewhere just to chronicl...

Just ever so slightly overwhelmed by all I have on my plate, and thinking now that when I return from Cancun on April 20th, maybe I should hang out for a day in SF but then head to NYC. I do want to meet with my publisher. And I do want to shoot the book trailer so it’s available in early May, at lea...

I do admire how much Belle loves to swim in the ocean, no matter what the temperature. I wish I could be like that but now at least I’ve found a terrific salt water swim experience:  my Chinatown YMCA has an incredible salt water pool.  I’ve gone three times since joining last week an...

I stayed up until around 2:30 last night reading through the novel one last (for now) time, fine-tuning a various lines and fixing a few more typos before the copy editor does his or her pass. Not having looked at it for a few months allowed me to have a much fresher eye, like when you visit your storage s...

As a last minute, semi-neurotic measure I had two friends read through the novel before I was going to turn it into my publisher for production. One was super–enthusiastic and corrected about two dozens typos (although I’m sure the copy editor will find a few more.) The other was also enthusiastic bu...
