Today was my first tele-call and I actually think it went rather well. Andrea was A+++ as the moderator –– she really couldn’t have been better –– and Susan was unbelievably generous and inspiring and awesome (frankly, I wanted to work with ME after her extraordinary unsolicited plug). Of course, I t...

I found this business card on the street last night as I left Val and Clark’s temporary housing after babysitting Jonah. … Bella Vita … The Beautiful Life  (especially as experienced by my Beautiful Belle, here befriending, maybe even comforting, a mannequin at Acre). Today I spent some t...

— At least on Earth Day. And definitely if you’re going to Muir Woods on a Sunday morning, not knowing really registering that it is, in fact, Earth Day and that admission is free (and parking is therefore IMPOSSIBLE.) Went with Belle and Rhiannon this morning after her Crunch class on the Emba...

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.)

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...

Having finished the entire Dave Ramsey CD course, I guess I am now officially a graduate of both his Financial Peace University and David Neagle’s Miracle of Money course. Ramsey’s step one and three are about creating your Emergency Fund. And I will say this … For all my crackpot friends...

Today Susan, Belle and I visited Cavallo Point and were joined by Elissa.  It was amazing to see the space again since my visit 3 weeks ago with Adrian, knowing that in January through March 2013 I’ll be having a show there. Leigh, the curator was AMAZING –– so BEYOND and great and I...
