It’s been … an intense week. Seriously. And I have to say that I’m so so glad I rented Hansel & Gretel:  Witch Hunters. I know that it has a 14% (out of 100) rating on Rotten Tomatoes, however, the reviews from the people are strongly different. (Basically 80% on iTunes give it 4...

Well, I hope not, however, I just turned in a piece for MIND BODY GREEN entitled “7 Things No One Tells You About Being a Yoga Teacher.” The editor-in-chief Kerry Shaw is awesome, and even though they want their pieces to be 800 words, and I turned in 2700, it’s basically all good.  I cut...

So yesterday was the launch of DOWNWARD DOG and (I think) it was a spectacular success. Meaning, that I really have no idea what one is supposed to happen during the launch of an eBook.  It’s not something I’ve any cinematic references for or that frankly –– even though I know tons of authors –...

I’ve always loved that Einstein quote:   “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” But I want to offer my own riff on it: “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though everything is easy.  Th...

Well, almost. I am –– I admit –– compulsively opening up iTunes, searching for “Vilga,” and checking the ratings and reviews of my novel DOWNWARD DOG (coming out June 11th). And I swear literally every time I am about to burst into “Living On A Prayer” by the genius Bon Jovi because...

And today, when we were totally unable to find a cab (at rush hour) (in the rain) (from the UWS) Belle took her first subway ride. She was, of course, perfection –– and she has flown across country 7 times in the last two years so in some ways it was No Big Deal. Still, it was her first introduction to sub...

I remember when we were shooting the 1st indie film I wrote and directed, Tony Winner John Glover said to me at one point (with agreement and irony), “My mother taught me that two things are important in life:  Winning Prizes and Being Popular.” More and more, I realize Mrs. Glover was probably...

I mean SERIOUSLY. I was thrown out of whack (aka ALIGNMENT, thank you Abraham-Hicks) yesterday with a well-meant but silly email which described in part that someone was Sooooooo (and I counted, there were literally SEVEN zeros in the word “so”) busy that she couldn’t do a 30 second task ...

I am living for the moment on Tuesday when not only do my  new business cards arrive, but also my new notebook. I love Vistaprint but it is always a bit of a hassle when after you complete your order and start the Check Out process, they insist on making you go through what feels like a dozen pages of opti...
