Is someone who jumps rope. Seriously. I love everything about the idea of jumping rope. First, it’s EFFICIENT. Look, I loved the days when I took Dana’s Sunday noon at the Lotus.  But that involved leaving the house at 11 am.  Class usually ran two hours plus.  A brief shower since I was drench...

Awoke on Friday morning to AWESOME news:  five canvases of mine that I love that had been missing for months are being returned to me. For many reasons, I will not reveal the entire drama around all this — and I honestly don’t care anymore, I’m just relieved and utterly thrilled my art is...

Yesterday was such an intense day that today I slept in to compensate. First, I showed up for my new client only to learn that somehow the lesson was not on –– non-tragic but slightly confusing. Then because of another Belle 2 am thing, took a delightful mid-morning nap.  (Last night we both slept like bab...

My worldview is in a very fragile state.  I cannot honestly decide if Tyra Banks is a genius or a lunatic (I guess those are not mutually exclusive propositions but …) Just look at this article about Modelland.  Is Tyra working on a super-human/super-model plane heretofore unknown?  [Tyra directed a ...

Back when I was in NYC and creating/producing/living a lot of theater, I remember one time my parents came to visit to see a show I had produced as part of a solo festival.   (I think it was MY LEFT BREAST by Susan Miller which won an Obie, which is kind of a Big Deal.) For some reason, I’d previousl...

During my seemingly endless computer crises yesterday, I was constantly reminded of Mercury Retrograde and how this is supposedly a better time to edit and refine rather than initiate.  All those computer glitches reminded me to back up, delete files, and INCREASE ONE’S BANDWIDTH. I’m not sure ...

Well, not really. Just my email. All of my correspondence, in fact, from the last two years is downloading AGAIN on my computer. I don’t know why, but I currently have 18,000 unread emails. Perhaps I scoffed at Mercury Retrograde one too many times, but this is the final touch today. I woke to get an...

Took Steven’s class at the Lotus yesterday — which I loved — and felt again post him and Jeremi on Friday morning, that connection to “I wish I could do that.” Most of the fancy, party trick poses that I lusted after are now in my repertoire, although if we’re being tota...

Remember that moment in NOTTING HILL where Julia Roberts says: “I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Oh, how movie star Julia Roberts yearns for simplicity in such a heart-breaking way. I feel similarly every time I try to take a yoga class: “I’...
