When two people share their lives, like G and I do, they entrain to one another’s energy and patterns. I zig where she zags, and vice versa, and in this way, day after day, we create a particular kind of “vibe” together, which in our case is fun, exciting and nourishing. So when one of … Continue reading Too Much Yin

Happy
I often feel guilty about the fact that my life is so happy. That’s because so many people are not so happy. Some are lost, others are bored. Some are unsettled, others are burdened. Some are taking depression meds, others need to be taking depression meds. They are dealing with time stress and money stress … Continue reading Happy
The Mindful Meatloaf
The other day I decided to make a meatloaf. I came across a recipe online and bought a pound of grass fed beef and a lot of expensive spices and exotic ingredients so I could try it. It was a pretty complicated recipe for a meatloaf. But I delayed making the meatloaf because my life … Continue reading The Mindful Meatloaf
4 Goals For The Next 12 Weeks
This morning during my meditation, I was forced to confront the fact that my project has slowed down. (Who am I kidding? It has come to a halt. Not a screeching halt. Just a quiet, rubbery thud of a halt. Which is the worst kind: a thud can go unnoticed, but a screech gets your … Continue reading 4 Goals For The Next 12 Weeks
The Doyen of the Detox
G posted some pictures on Facebook today. Pictures of dirt. Pictures of the ground. Pictures of people not wearing coats. I don't remember that. I looked in the mirror today and let's just say, I'm not a "winter." My skin is the color of a codfish.. The bags under my eyes could hold my wallet, phone, … Continue reading The Doyen of the Detox
Spring break, Day 1. Boomer and I adjust.

She almost always spends her birthday on the road with her team. She'll be home by St. Patrick's Day though, and then we'll celebrate her birthday in … Continue reading Spring break, Day 1. Boomer and I adjust.
Learn it, Live it, Give it
One of the people who really inspire me is James Altucher. He is a bit of a goofball, and sometimes I wish he would stop talking so much, but he is so adorable and he is so audacious in the questions he asks in his podcasts, that he totally disarms his guests, and I am … Continue reading Learn it, Live it, Give it
How I am surviving this hellish winter
This has been a very long winter. But surprisingly, I am okay. I am not great, but I am fine. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being overjoyed and 1 being suicidal, I have maintained a solid 7 all winter. This is huge. (This is weird.) This is what has helped. Vitamin … Continue reading How I am surviving this hellish winter
Too poor to be brave
Today I gave my personal trainer 2 letters. One letter was a conventional recommendation letter he asked me to write for him for graduate school. The other was an unconventional letter, the letter I really wanted to write, explaining to the school that he really didn’t need them because he already had the skill set … Continue reading Too poor to be brave
Why am I blogging?
When I started this blog I had a clear intention for it. I was going to report on all the things that inspired me in a day. Inspiration Location. It didn't take me long to run dry, and then I had to scrounge around for inspiring things. But even that wasn't too bad, because I … Continue reading Why am I blogging?
