Downward Dog

weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

With the book launch, plus managing the Naples Design project, plus other creative Big Picture stuff, I’m constantly looking to upgrade everything in my bag of organizational tricks. And although I love the simplicity of the REMINDERS program that comes with my Mac, I’ve googled some other possibilit...
Today I was struck by –– and I don’t mean to oversell this but … – a stroke of New Age Genius. So much is happening that I needed to create some project boards to keep track of everything going on, but of course they had some Vision Board elements (how could they not?) But then I remembered som...
In all honesty, there are no monkeys involved in this blog post, although on two levels, I have been fascinated with the number 1000 regarding the unseen masses all day. Today was a indeed wild ride beginning with my first MindBodyGreen article being published online this morning. I didn’t know it wa...
When I stopped teaching at the Laughing Lotus, I suggested they retire the slot I’d had for 9+ years –– Saturday @ 5pm –– as a gesture towards Retiring the Jersey. And today, I decided that it was time to eliminate from my wardrobe a key and vital element:  an Angès B pullover I’ve had since &#...

It’s weird that tomorrow my novel DOWNWARD DOG will suddenly be available on Amazon (and everywhere else).  (Note:  weird AND great.) But weird perhaps for no reason other than it feels like so much work has gone into launching the book … and yet I’m not sure exactly what has happened / i...
I am personally quite appreciative of this, but I’m not sure I would have advised it or done it myself. Mastin Kipp is a dude who’s on the rise and say what you will about him –– and I’m not going to say anything –– I love how he describes his gamechanger for The Daily Love. The Game Chan...
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...
