I’ve been in a bit of a funk since we came back from New York. That let-down of returning to my regular life after something so incredibly wonderful and outrageous. As my friend told me, New York is the city of BIG DREAMS, and […]
She had left the conference the previous day with the copy of Super Rich that Russell Simmons gave out to all of us. She got in a taxi and struck up a conversation with the driver, who asked where she had been.
I recently bought a Vitamix and have been trying lots of different smoothies. Here’s this afternoon’s recipe: water 5 cucumber slices handful of celery chunks 1/2 apple 5 mango pieces 3 pineapple pieces handful of soynuts handful of walnuts handful of green grapes handful […]
I just got back from four days in New York for the Rich, Happy + Hot Conference with Marie Forleo. It was unbelievably inspiring. I have much to share in upcoming posts; for now, I’m going to share one story. The conference cost $1500, […]
While riding the Bolt Bus to New York this morning, I saw that sunrise while reading The Four Agreements and pondering the illusion of our perceived reality. Read about it in Smokey Mirrors at Cool Blue Souls. This was the sunrise this morning, a […]
This weekend I’m headed to New York to attend the Rich, Happy + Hot conference with Marie Forleo, Russell Simmons, Danielle LaPorte, Kris Carr, Regena Thomashauer, Simon Sinek, and more. One of the pre-conference assignments was to learn this dance, and now I can’t […]
I’m appreciating incredibly beautiful weather here in Maryland this weekend, perfect for hiking or anything else outside. Grace and I went hiking while a chicken cooked in olive oil in the crock pot. When we got home, I used my new Vitamix to make […]
The photo is a pink azalea I called Heart and Soul. (You can purchase it here if you like it.) I was contacted by Brittany Whittanberg of Women Empowered and Loving Life (WELL) through Etsy and asked to donate that print for an upcoming […]
Too many bloggers care more about marketing and subscribers than about expressing genuine ideas. I have a mental block toward SEO and have stubbornly refused to learn about it. I don't want to prostitute my writing, hiking up my skirt with every strategic keyword placement.
I’m sitting in a lounge chair on the pool deck basking in the sun. It’s 2pm. Nearby, a cricket chirps. It’s hot enough to be in my bathing suit, but I don’t need a tan anymore. We’re moving into long pants and sweater weather. […]
The sun is bright today, glaring into my room between the white slats of venetian blinds. I’m staring at a vast expanse of blue sky above treetops, watching the occasional bird glide by, wings wide and still. I’m leaning back, hands clasped behind my
This week I’m working on focus, trying to be more mindful of how I’m spending my time. I really want to create some meaningful rituals around daily tasks that I need want to do. Like visualize for 5 minutes. State my goals and affirmation
My intent for this site is to create a digital sanctuary, a place that is evolving as I am evolving, and to share all that I learn with you in the hope that it will help you evolve. I am working with Gwen
Today, I’m appreciating beautiful sunsets, cool brisk weather, wearing sweaters, cooking chili for dinner, sitting by a blazing fire.
Today, I walked into an office to sign in and get a visitor’s badge. The secretary there recognized me and asked how I liked my new job? I was preoccupied with the fact that I don’t have an ID badge, which they always ask
This is the question I lived with for the last two years, seriously considering what I was doing with the majority of my time each day. It settled into my psyche slowly, this question, nagging me while I worked long hours and checked email
We had a full week of cool damp rainy weather that culminated in severe flooding last week. I began to wonder if it would ever stop raining. Yet now I’m writing this outside on a sweltering sunny day. Even though it’s uncomfortable and I’m
I have blank-slated this site and am in the process of realigning it to create a digital sanctuary here, a place for daily postings of essays, discoveries and inspirations. I can’t think of a more fitting piece to start with than a response to
This is the first week all summer that my son and I have not had to wake up to the alarm and be out of the house by 7am. In fact, it’s the only week that neither of us has anything to do or
I first read Do the Work several months ago and it has significantly impacted the way I think about personal growth, risk, and taking chances. It was an interesting balance to the Abraham-Hicks focus on resistance, which usually makes it sound so benign. I
