Our VRBO here in Pacific is what Emily calls "fancy." Scott says that's just because the cabinets hang straight. This is Obie's first time sleeping away from home. And Dude's, too. (Dude is the chihuahua.) This is the "fire drill" trip for their Alaskan cruise in a few weeks. After we settled in, we went … Continue reading Pacific City, OR Day 1
He's getting used to us. Here is G feeding him breakfast: And Dude begging. Then we went and scoped out the new house and the new neighborhood. There's a playground practically in their backyard. Obie is a bit too young for anything but the baby swings, so I tried out the rest of it … Continue reading Portland. Day 1
Getting up at 3:30 wasn't so bad. And even though it was foggy as hell driving to the airport, got there without hitting a deer. (I am the only person I know who has never hit a deer. The streak continues.) My luggage weighed 32.9 lbs. I won "the lightest luggage" contest among my travel … Continue reading I paid $3.99 so you could read this
Our flight leaves at 7 AM tomorrow morning which means we have to be there by 6, which means we have to leave here by 5, which means we have to get up before the ass-crack of dawn. It's okay though. I'd rather do it this way than get in to Portland at 10 PM. … Continue reading The Alarm is set for 3:30 AM
Today I packed for my trip to Oregon. I must say, I am a huge fan of packing cubes. Omg. I love these things. Here is a week's worth of stuff, including beach clothes all ready for the suitcase. When I get to the hotel, my pajamas and robe and all the stuff I need … Continue reading How did I ever pack before Packing Cubes??
So as it turns out I'm not Wonder Woman after all. I can't write and meditate and blog and strength train and get in 10 thousand steps and teach Power Yoga and clean the studio and walk Boomer. Today I crashed and burned. No writing. No meditation this morning either. (But that will get done … Continue reading Dropped the ball
See people the way they want to be seen. It's magical. All you have to do is see people, but nobody sees anyone anymore. We all live in a narcissistic, ego-centric bubble in which we want to be seen but no one wants to do the seeing. So, if you can climb out … Continue reading How to Motivate… Everyone
Dear Brynne and Jesse, G and I wish for you what we have: Someone who sees us as we wish to be seen and not necessarily who we are...yet. Someone who sees our best self, the self we are cultivating, the self we are striving to be. Someone who forgives our shortcomings knowing that we … Continue reading #brynneandjesse
I got knee-deep and dirty into my book today. I changed my working title from "Amp Your Vibe" to "How to Create a Project-Driven Life" which is really what it is about. There are list-making exercises. There are ways to beta-test project ideas before you commit to them. There are tips on how to build … Continue reading How to Write Your Personal Manifesto
This is a post from 2009. I went into my archives looking for what I might have been doing in early June in some other year. I found this post from 6 years ago. I was so tickled with this one because it has a picture of Fred and I. G and I just came … Continue reading The Dominant Doe Goes With The Flow
