We all love Green Light Synchronicity. I’m speaking of those Magic Moments when everything just seems to align together harmoniously, all in perfect timing. One of my favorite––and quite literal––experiences of this was several years ago when I taught a Thanksgiving Day yoga class. Although ...

To be honest, I’m still processing it all. (Although I suppose you could attach that statement to pretty much everything that’s ever happened to anyone, anywhere of any sensitivity.) Even so, I admit to being a little unnerved by events this week–– although I also do appreciate the synchronicity they...

I have mixed feelings about cliff hanger endings. Sometimes it’s just as Oscar Wilde wrote in The Importance of Being Earnest: “The suspense is terrible.I hope it will last.” And other times, as with a few recent Netflix series I love that may or may not be renewed, cliffhangers seem at best delib...

It’s certainly an odd combination. Specifically, one of my favorite traditions and one of my pet peeves.

One section in Rick Rubin’s The Creative Actparticularly resonates with me. It’s truly an essential concept around Creativity (this month’s theme and meditation HERE). Namely, the paradox of Connected Detachment. It’s an eternal dance–– perhaps “negotiation” is more accurate––between investing pas...

Although this week’s newsletter is devoted to what Twyla Tharp declares “a philosophical tug-of-war,” on a daily basis I encounter a less lofty version of that game. It’s mostly an evening activity, usually when I’m finally ready to kick back and relax, and it happens invariably whenever Bobby, Malibu’s...
