weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

I read the rest of SAVE THE CAT last night over two glasses of Malbec at Don Pistos and I totally loved it.  (This was after watching the finale of “It’s A Brad, Brad World” with Susan and Belle which was somehow intensely moving and silly all at once –– although I had tremendous Déjà vu ...
I loved the moment when Elaine Stritch on 30 Rocks says to Jack’s wife Avery who’s expecting:  “Remember, when you’re pregnant, it’s only one bottle of wine a day, AND THAT’S IT!” Yesterday, I began my juice cleanse –– if you read my Unauthorized Bio on this site y...
After a lovely day –– coffee at Acre, planning meeting, lunch at the super-zen, super-gorgeous, Japanese Tea Garden, and teaching a private client  ––Adrian and I had an early dinner at Don Pistos. It’s true that on my very first visit, I went with Susan at 7pm, but that was before I registered with ...
I really like this picture I took today of Belle on our beach walk — it feels very lunar voyage.  More about that tomorrow. I also love the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  It feels like the most chill day of the year. Morning skyping to India to get the Facebook page revved up for UPWARD DOG. Email f...
The morning spent at the high-speed wireless temp office space, uploading photos from the NYC events for THE LATEST on this site and on the UPWARD DOG site, too.  Lots of thank you emails and updates and internet promotion that required being around young dot com types and those bulletin boards you can wri...
Wrote this entry however many thousand feet in the air — saved it — and now it’s gone.  Have landed in NYC and pre-sleep, must summarize Friday. Friday — 11/11/11 — and at 11:11 am frolicked with Susan on the phone and 11:11 pm dove into a hot bath to cleanse and renew. My Lot...
A morning of cleaning and organizing –– moving from the upstairs back down to the Magic Cottage –– and all the sorting and paring down and laundry and filing felt very therapeutic, frankly. Then three lovely reunions: Class with Dana who arrived from Laughing Lotus NYC for several days.  Among the joyful s...
Yesterday, I swear I searched for five full minutes for matches to light one of the burners on the stove, only to discover that they’d been there the entire time. Or at least I think so … Bashar –– my favorite channeled alien –– speaks a lot about shifting between endles...
My tribe is always a little hungry. Love this bear resting in a large coffee mug at Acre-SF (still mysteriously hard to find on the web, but I did).                         A day substantially devoted to discussing and uploading logos for sponsor...
