Here’s one of the many things I like about this photo of my one of my godchildren, Atherton:  it seems as though he’s a celebrity ducking the camera (like an 80s Sean Penn), when in fact I just randomly shot this to show Susan the awesome parking he found when we met to have dinner tonight. [He...

It wasn’t quite that, but there was an intense moment tonight where the wireless just wasn’t happening. The airport was on.  It was connecting to the modem.  Five full bars.  And yet … I couldn’t get online.  And I was TERRIFIED. I began thinking about Worst Case...

Today began with my nearly-impossible-to-schedule private client’s office emailing at 7:30 am to see if I could fit in a session at 10 am, which I did after a great and productive morning client call.  YOGA EMERGENCY RESOLVED. Lots of productive work stuff during the day, but the real highlight if we...

Belle and Otto went off for a beach excursion today with Susan and Jennifer and Andrew while I stayed home and continued my computer file sorting process (such strange bliss indeed.)

That’s what Dave Ramsey calls each and every one of his financial coaching tips –– Baby Steps — which is both deliberately non-intimidating and disturbing. On the way home from teaching my private client today, Belle and I found this solo baby sneaker on the street, complete with a ...

Then I logged into Facebook and another friend found me –- Sophie Chiche who did our INTERVIEW for her great site LIFE BY ME –– followed by Val last night when I mentioned I was play...

This morning began with a tremendous reunion, with Emily Stone –- friend, supporter, and one of the first buyers of my visual art, recently portrayed in the New York Times.    (And by this article, she has outed herself as “not poor” in the yoga community –– so brave!). Emily is so smart and so...

I bought this wine at Trader Joe’s because I really liked the label (I have a thing for Owls).  I also like its name –– BABBLE –– and since I’m feeling slightly unfocused at the moment, I figure why not have it inspire my title. Actually, a lady clerk at Trader Joe’s named McKenna asked m...
