weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

Over 1.4 Million people get the DailyOM email blast every morning. And honestly a short nugget of spiritual inspiration isn’t the worst way to start your day. They also offer a ton of online classes where you can pay either a suggested $25 (or $10 or $40) and then either “Find True Love in 2...
More and more friends, creative clients, and yoga students are sharing with me feelings of being OVERWHELMED. I often feel that way, too. Here’s one thing that’s helped. Last June I started using a Productivity Planner that has definitely transformed my life. One genius thing about this particu...
I’d reveal more about this very charming and magical synchronicity except it involves a client…so I can’t. But let’s just say sometimes when a month flies in the window and lands on your desk it’s a very good sign. Frankly, sometimes it’s the universe winking at you!

Mid-afternoon on December 31st, I played a game of Transformation with two very beautiful ladies who are two of my dearest friends — Broadway star Cristy Candler and writer/poet/yogi Sarah Herrington — and a wonderful photographer I’d just met. Towards the end of the game, I got these ...
