weekly inspiration to help you transform your life

(+ plenty of dog adventures)

Although I’ve long been a complicated yet passionate fan, I’d never heard of The Streisand Effect until yesterday. Basically, this dude and his company compiled 12,000 photos of the California Coastline for a government sanctioned program about land erosion.  Apparently, Barbra flipped out that...
Those were the angels I received during our (highly abbreviated) 1 hour transformation game with Susan and Joshua today (first time player). Other updates for the day (Bikram, long chat with Andrea Lake) but I am struck by the connection to my transformation question (about next creative projects) and this...
Here was Belle’s day today. Waking at 6 and allowing me to putter with things like meditation/alignment. Beach walk at 7:30 where she passionately swam and chased sticks in the ocean for 45 minutes. Supervising a photoshoot I volunteered to do for my friend Rhiannon.   [At one point, when the sun was...
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I loved, Marina Abramović The Artist Is Present. I started out merely curious and then became passionately involved. I don’t think the trailer fairly represents the film in terms of its impact and emphasis (there’s too much about the “shock” ...

Belle and I awoke for our morning client at 9 am. Then several hours just organizing all that I have to do + responding to basic emails. Got my plane ticket to Seattle for the Alaska cruise in August, although postponing the return flight until plans are more solid. An auspicious return to Bikram, where so...
NYC and the wedding were amazing. And now back with Belle in San Francisco, which — despite how much I loved my centuries in NYC ––  really, really does feel like Home. And now –– sleep!
Yesterday I tried to blog from my phone because I decided to leave my laptop in NYC with Nicky’s doorman before heading off the the wedding Upstate.  That, however, proved to be impossible … and so I missed a day. There’s much to relate but basically the wedding was GORGEOUS –&...
