This weekend, I remembered once again just how much more refined one’s sense of time becomes during the editing process. Film captures images at 24 frames per second, and my editor and cinematographer and I spent hours shaving off 4 frames (or a 1/6 of a second) or adding 2 (or 1/12 of a second) and ...

Last night, Sarah and I went to see Joy Harjo speak at a PEN event, where she said a lot of interesting things, a lot of poetic things, and some things that were just plain … bananas.  [My favorite –– which just may mean she’s not great at math –– was talking about how many families there are w...

Yesterday, Belle and I moved into our amazing digs for May and the little dog immediately found her place in the sun. So many metaphors –– from all my filming experiences over the weekend, to finding the spotlight as I launch into major promotional mode for the new book –– but just so thrilled to be settle...

Whatever you believe is the source behind my cold –– Abraham’s lofty belief that my body hasn’t caught up with my new higher vibration; or sick building disease re: the AC in Cancun;  or just stress behind moving and a new book release;  or good, old-fashioned germs –– one thing is for sure: Ge...

When you’re up at 4:30 and on set by 7 am on a Sunday morning to film your book trailer, you can help but feel supremely virtuous and enormously productive. The shoot was splendid –– actors were amazing, my crew spectacular –– and I have to say the footage looks INCREDIBLE. And now –– exhilarated but...

Today, my cinematographer and I trolled around NYC and Dumbo shooting the cityscape we’re going to project on our male model’s body tomorrow. This included the Meatpacking District, and the West Village, and even my old digs in Chinatown. Super-fun –– and then off to American Apparel to buy fou...

Sometime after the Dolphin swim, my system was overloaded with Abraham-Hicks high vibrations and I lost my voice. Then I returned to SF and moved everything else out of the cottage, fled to Mill Valley to stay with my college roommate for 2 nights (which sounds like the plot of another god-awful Adam Sandl...

Oddly. those were the names –- “Athena” and “America” of the dolphins I swam with today. Although I definitely wanted more “free time” with the dolphins, I have to say it really is pretty extraordinary to pet them and hug them and see how incredibly intelligent and inter...

Woke up at 4 a.m. –– a surprisingly good night of sleep considering that I dropped Belle off last night with Kate, her pre-guardian before Daniel and Lana (FYI, Kate is spectacular and her parents even raise labs as guide dogs so she is more than well qualified for a night of Belle-sitting) –– all to catch...
