Sometimes, it’s glaringly evident that the Universe has a keen, even biting, sense of humor. I was keenly aware of that this week as the quirkiest signs and synchronicities––all surrounding birthdays––repeated and amplified. It all began when, due to more pressing commitments, I had to abandon my pla...

Vlad’s B’Day Invite HERE Feb Meditation HERE I knew it would be the highlight of my week. Specifically, my semi-annual dental exam and cleaning. After years of neglecting my teeth in my 20s, I’ve become religious about my routine. Even though I’m reading Werner Herzog‘s ne...

Although it’s often part of our longer Sunday walk, Vlad and I rarely make purchases at the used bookstore in our neighborhood.

Jan Meditation HERE Free Workshop HERE As is often the case, sometimes when I’m writing about a topic, it surfaces in unexpected ways in my life. I’m delighted to say that’s happened this week as I explored Reinvention––the theme of this month’s new meditation HERE and of the webinar I’m teaching ...

It’s certainly an odd combination. Specifically, one of my favorite traditions and one of my pet peeves. Each year Vlad and I (and previously Belle) invite our friends over for a Christmas Tree Trimming party. Beyond how delightful it is to host some of our favorite folks, it’s also an astonishing...
