weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

There was a time when I was quite faithful to my blogging. For almost two years, every single day –– except for minor exceptions like Major Surgery –– I wrote something. Lately though –– with all the demands of my novel’s release (including numerous guest posts and...
When I’m directing, I have mixed feelings about improv. Sydney Lumet said it best –– and I’m totally paraphrasing –– but something like, “Do people really think the line that someone makes up on the spot is going to be better than the one the writer spent endless t...
One of the Grand-Daddies of all meditations is the “So Hum” one –– “I Am That” –– breathing in on “So” (silently) and exhaling on “hum” (silently). And that’s all well and good and ancient, but given that this has been one of the roughest weeks I’...

I mean SERIOUSLY. I was thrown out of whack (aka ALIGNMENT, thank you Abraham-Hicks) yesterday with a well-meant but silly email which described in part that someone was Sooooooo (and I counted, there were literally SEVEN zeros in the word “so”) busy that she couldn’t do a 30 second task ...
I am living for the moment on Tuesday when not only do my  new business cards arrive, but also my new notebook. I love Vistaprint but it is always a bit of a hassle when after you complete your order and start the Check Out process, they insist on making you go through what feels like a dozen pages of opti...
