Today began with my nearly-impossible-to-schedule private client’s office emailing at 7:30 am to see if I could fit in a session at 10 am, which I did after a great and productive morning client call.  YOGA EMERGENCY RESOLVED. Lots of productive work stuff during the day, but the real highlight if we...

Belle and Otto went off for a beach excursion today with Susan and Jennifer and Andrew while I stayed home and continued my computer file sorting process (such strange bliss indeed.) Prior to leaving for the Party –– now moved to Mill Valley at Val and Clark’s hotel, post-flood –– that Susan organize...

Today, I devoted EVERYTHING to sorting through files on my computer. Susan is totally united with me on this –– and I know that there are others of you out there who would agree –– but there is NOTHING more satisfying than this kind of internal housekeeping. (And, of course, it̵...

That’s what Dave Ramsey calls each and every one of his financial coaching tips –– Baby Steps — which is both deliberately non-intimidating and disturbing. On the way home from teaching my private client today, Belle and I found this solo baby sneaker on the street, complete with a ...

This morning began with a tremendous reunion, with Emily Stone –- friend, supporter, and one of the first buyers of my visual art, recently portrayed in the New York Times.    (And by this article, she has outed herself as “not poor” in the yoga community –– so brave!). Emily is so smart and so...

Today’s first class at Acre both sold out (and had a wait list) and was also postponed. All the reservations filled up and then I learned some friends of mine were also coming.  Apparently, something internal having to do with the owner Jenny’s two stores required that we postpone (sigh). ...

Today I returned to some truly serious editing of the screenplay, mostly inspired and empowered by watching Gosling in DRIVE. Thinking endless about his supremely effective “less is more” approach with that character, I finally took the proverbial gloves off and started cutting Voice-Over secti...

Today I re-read a favorite novel from my childhood, HALF MAGIC by Edward Eager (I had totally forgotten his name, but now I totally love it.) I didn’t remember much about HALF MAGIC except its premise –– children find a magical coin that grants all their wishes, except only by half. What I loved abou...
