weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

I loved the off-Broadway show Full Gallop about Diana Vreeland, and saw it several times.  [Here’s another review.] Somehow that phrase — “Full Gallop” –– feels very apt for all that happened today, and how quickly things are moving forward. Awoke to several LLS mes...
Last night Val guided me –– via text –– through a releasing the bubble meditation before I sent out my mass email about my Summer Coaching program. I did modify it a bit –– substituting Peonies for Roses, given that I’d just bought a bouquet that day at Trader Joe’s –– and I improvised a bit fu...
Today I got my first pedicure with polish. I’ve had dozens of pedicures in my adult life, really starting as part of being a yoga teacher.  People look at your feet and well, it’s just sorta a necessity. Yet until today I’ve completely resisted getting any polish. But today after jump rop...
Today I took my jump rope practice to a whole new level:  no longer 1 minute on and 1 minute off, I began doing 2 minutes on and 1 off.  (I still jumped for a total of 12 minutes, but split up differently it was somehow even more intense and more playful.) I experienced this greater freedom and e...
One of those against all odds things happened today in Words With Friends: In the last round, I got J, Q, and Z –– each worth ten points (because they are so challenging to place) –– and practically nowhere to place them since the board was filled.  Even lame places, like non-T...
Today I reached a new jump rope peak (12 sessions of 1 minute jumping and 1 minute recovery after each) and it was my fifth Bikram class in a row. [By the way, the world jump roping record is 27 hours –– which is clearly quite insane.] The plot has thickened at Bikram in that I now know my enemy’s na...
Last night, my fantastic Godchild’s Birthday Party (totally fun and lovely). Major progress at my morning jump rope routine.  (Seriously, getting boxer-worthy). Awesome lunch with Amy Ahlers and Susan;  spectacular food and even more spectacular visualizations. Fell in love with a new hangout, Cafe P...
Susan thinks I can coast on this for more than a day –– but I severely doubt that will happen –– but I was ecstatic by my conversation today with my amazing producer about the script. Basically, she offered that it’s actually totally ready to send out, but she had a few sage s...
Last night I went to Marnie’s signing for her book CREATING TIME at Book’s Inc. One of the chapters is about synchronicity and I received just such an event while attending: While in a Book’s Inc. store for a friend’s book signing, I received an email from Book’s Inc. rejectin...
