I decided a while ago to MEMORIZE the Financial Meditation created by Abraham-Hicks as a way of deepening my connection to the material (and keeping my brain alive.) I also think it harkens back to a piano teacher in college who was big on memorization, insisting that you didn’t really “know...

Today marks a full 40 days before I leave for Cancun and it’s time to get really serious about my fitness goals. Like, time to cut all wine out of my life for 40 days level serious. And because I thrive best when something becomes a Creative Project, I started a secret blog elsewhere just to chronicl...

I do admire how much Belle loves to swim in the ocean, no matter what the temperature. I wish I could be like that but now at least I’ve found a terrific salt water swim experience:  my Chinatown YMCA has an incredible salt water pool.  I’ve gone three times since joining last week an...

I stayed up until around 2:30 last night reading through the novel one last (for now) time, fine-tuning a various lines and fixing a few more typos before the copy editor does his or her pass.

Although I have really taken a deep dive into Lumosity –– a website that promotes brain activity –– and through a few minutes of daily training my Brain Profile Index has doubled in the last 19 days (according to them) … tonight I had a moment of thinking, “What the hell is wrong with me?”...

In some ways, I have a pretty thick skin but in other ways, I do not at all. The Universe keeps sharing its lessons whenever I send out a mass-mailing. Four mailings ago, when I merged several old mailing lists, I heard from someone who was quite wonderful, but who wanted to rehash a transaction from 1998....

So wise today that I decided to watch again THE LADY IN QUESTION … IS CHARLES BUSCH. He is a genius –- and there’s a hint of this in the trailer for the documentary: And it’s funny because with the novel/movie going out soon to the world, I’ve been asking myself “What&#...
