weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

That’s how I always feel after any big PR thing, and even though yesterday’s Video Party was all about Susan and her work (and of course, Belle), I did feel that mix of being both very revved up/wired afterwards and also deeply exhausted. And in typical fashion, although I was totally wiped out...

Susan was totally awesome today during her first Video Party –– as were all involved (John & Dori) –- and of course, particularly Belle.  She  really shown during her passionate embrace of the FEELINGS DOLL Susan mentioned at the end of the first segment. I went back to my digs and brought it up –- it ...

I’ve certainly been helped by generous investors before and so I really love the spirit of Kiva –– particularly that seemingly negligible amounts can do universes of good. Semi-accidentally, I’ve loaned to two or three entrepreneurs in the beauty business –– in Colombia and Lebanon –- and as on...

Today, as is often the case, my most overworked yoga client canceled after I got there –– which means I was basically paid $150 for an hour walk (30 minutes in each direction), which I supposed isn’t bad. It’s my own version of a Fran Leibowitz line.  Basically, I could live really well on NOT-...

Since I posted exactly one thing on my facebook fanpage this week (the first time in months) –– versus my regular page –– and I had 3 new likes, I’m doing +4,437.5% better (according to facebook).  [And obviously, I need to start ramping up the fanpage with the novel et al coming out this year.] But ...

Today I had a weird food reaction –– I think I swallowed wrong, but horribly wrong –– and for about 10 minutes thought I might just die.  (I’m being semi-serious). And so during my daily pilgrimage to Trade...

Why is it all so muddled? My strongest memories of Jodie Foster are dancing with her vaguely at the Beaux Arts Ball, and  in Lit 300 –– a class that rocked my world at Yale –- and a bunch of late night movies, in particular On The Twentieth Century –– but that’s really it.  We never stayed up late br...

So the hardest thing about my appendectomy is that I haven’t been able to do 2.5 of my favorite de-stressing activities.  Spa Hot and Cold Plunges (as per Naomi Campbell, my beauty mentor) and Sensory Deprivation Floating, and sorta sweaty yoga classes (the doctor gave mixed signals about yoga, but f...

Yesterday, I was ordained a Reverend at the Universal Life Church so that I can be the officiant at Daniel’s wedding in the near future. It was a simple ceremony –– I simply clicked the tab on my computer that said “Ordain Me,” and it was done –– but a moving one. I previously became a ma...
