weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

After Belle and my beach walk this morning I picked up the photo transfer of the canvas I’m going to paint for my January Cavallo show. And let’s just say I was thrilled. It’s a little over six feet wide and when I sent the image to the lab, the guy kept discouraging me about the resoluti...

My juicer is astonishing.  I honestly can’t imagine life without it. It makes such incredibly delicious, healthy drinks and lets you feel virtuous (aka smug) at the same time. Early morning client, followed by magazine interview, then 8:30 am nap. And –– in honor of 12/21 –R...

There’s going to be no stopping my relationship with green juice. My juicer arrived this morning and it’s amazing.  So easy to use and simple. I have dim memories of using a friend’s juicer 15 years ago and it was IMPOSSIBLE to clean.  It literally felt like it took 30 minutes to wash it....

So this morning I went to my UPS mailbox to get something sent registered mail. And immediately after leaving, I got an email saying that I had a package.  [Later that day I got two more such emails and that, I think, accounts for everything I’m expecting in the post.] Anyway, even though the recover...

Today it suddenly became overwhelmingly necessary that I organize my toiletries better and so a trip to Ikea was called for. I met John there and –– even though somehow it was weirdly complicated to get the cabinet not off the floor or in the large item section, but that I had to get an employee to do the ...

Today, after teaching one private, I found myself unbelievably exhausted. So since last night I decided to start ONCE UPON A TIME and (even though it reminds me so much of the first script I wrote and had optioned for a TV series), I can’t stop and have watched five episodes. I love that The Huntsman...

So fun to re-watch ANCHORMAN:  the legend of Ron Burgundy today. I love that the trailer has scenes that are totally not in the movie: After my first long beach excursion with Belle since the surgery and one new yoga private, following a dinner with Susan and John, I am feeling well … overwhelmingly...

To write about myself and my life after the CT shootings today. And –– although I have experienced so much Magic and Grace personally today –– I’d rather let it go at that. I love what my friend Sarah just posted and I’ll close with that: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the ne...
