(+ plenty of dog adventures)

Just got dropped off by Dan after dinner with Susan and Adrian and Belle at Plant, and lent him my car so that he can traipse off to Ecstatic Dance tomorrow morning (Adrian and I will be at Bikram and then going to the owner Bev’s birthday pizza moment.) Post client call, this morning devoted to The ...
Bikram with Adrian –– he is so brave! –– in the morning, followed by an ASTONISHING $5 haircut in Chinatown. Then we executed a highly successful errand for the Secret Project (more will be revealed) in between laundry and then teaching a private client before dashing off to pick up Dan who was arriving fo...
Today I experienced: √  Fine-tuning ceiling/trim for Val & Clark √  Edited one colleague’s postcard content (basically drastically minimalized text) for which she was grateful 1 Bikram Class (at 116 degrees), my 49th since May 4th 3 Clients (all of them awesome) 5 DMV practice tests (online) 7 Ep...
Last night right before bed I did an amazing session of EFT Tapping, so good in fact that I couldn’t sleep. After 45 minutes of pseudo-meditation, I got up and resumed work on the script from about 2 until 5:30 am.   [And I more or less finished.] During one of my breaks at around 4 am, I s...

After Bikram, I weighed 4 pounds less than when I started (same scale, I swear, that they’ve recently installed in the bathroom). And this puts me at a whole new “decade” of weight loss –– meaning I’ve gone below another 0 and thus lost 18 pounds. (Although, since I am technically N...
Today had a very dream-like quality –– and I can tell if it’s because I’m on Day Three of the Juice Cleanse or because I’m super-immersed in the screenplay rewrite. A blur of a morning where I know I walked Belle, worked on edits, napped briefly, and then went to Plant for 2 c...
It’s a Cat Stevens song from 1967–– covered by Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow –– and it’s still true to this day. Except, I mean diving into this revision of my script. I started cutting with some Rumi quotes that I loved: “Let beauty we love be what we do … ...
And by that I mean my new sunglasses, which are amazing. I’ve been limping along with a $5 pair I bought in a thrift store on the way to the wine country with Adrian in February when I realized I needed to do SOMETHING. But today my new Warby Parker pair arrived and it’s, quite frankly, a total...
