Today I experienced: √  Fine-tuning ceiling/trim for Val & Clark √  Edited one colleague’s postcard content (basically drastically minimalized text) for which she was grateful 1 Bikram Class (at 116 degrees), my 49th since May 4th 3 Clients (all of them awesome) 5 DMV practice tests (online) 7 Ep...

That’s how the Driver’s Ed manual says I should approach dangerous situations. Somehow “Taking Dangers One at a Time (page 53 of the manual) reminded me of this wonderful passage from Anne Lamott’s BIRD BY BIRD. “Thirty years ago my older brother, who was  ten years old at the...

Bikram, then Primer, Surprise Beach Walk w/Amy, Harry/Belle Reunion.

Last night right before bed I did an amazing session of EFT Tapping, so good in fact that I couldn’t sleep. After 45 minutes of pseudo-meditation, I got up and resumed work on the script from about 2 until 5:30 am.   [And I more or less finished.] During one of my breaks at around 4 am, I s...

It’s a Cat Stevens song from 1967–– covered by Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow –– and it’s still true to this day. Except, I mean diving into this revision of my script. I started cutting with some Rumi quotes that I loved: “Let beauty we love be what we do … ...
