One of the things I love most about G's dad, Owen, is his love of reading. He always has a book going and when he is not out fishing, or fixing something in our house, or making a run to the dump with G (all things that happened this morning) he is on the couch … Continue reading What are you reading these days?

How To Own The World
The Healthy and the Focused are going run the world. They will be the only ones who will be able to. Who else will be able to run companies and businesses, create art, make breakthroughs in science and technology? Who else will innovate? In addition, the Healthy and the Focused will be the only ones able … Continue reading How To Own The World
Feeling the Tribe
I still don't live with my tribe. And although this is hard for me, lately I've heard a lot of people from many different places say the exact same thing. Even people who live in notoriously cool places. I heard a podcast this week in which a pretty famous writer said that even thought he … Continue reading Feeling the Tribe
Winterlude
In the week between Christmas and New Years I rented a little apartment in Ithaca, NY. I needed a getaway: from Christmas, from busyness, from tired. I needed a retreat. But instead of booking myself into a fancy place like Kripalu, I tried a “self-guided” retreat this time, in a nearby city where I know … Continue reading Winterlude
The Return to Interiority
Even though I get melancholy when the season changes from summer to fall, and even more so when it changes from fall to winter, I have to admit that I really do love the return to interiority. I just read a piece in Elephant Journal by a woman who went to a retreat at Kripalu … Continue reading The Return to Interiority
Media Fast
I was talking to Emily the other day, and the conversation turned to what we are reading these days. Em always has a book or two going, and she was telling me that her employees are all voracious readers, too. When they are on break at work, they all sit and read. She loves that … Continue reading Media Fast
2012 Reading List
Today I gathered together the books I intend to read this year and amassed them next to my winterized Space Chair for this photo-op. It's a good list, I think, but a long one. (Vishuda is my gargoyle hand puppet, in case you were wondering.) I have had these books in my possession for a … Continue reading 2012 Reading List
Accentuating The Postive. Eliminating The Negative
Today's Reverb10 prompt is: what do you do each day that doesn't contribute to your writing --and can you eliminate it. Of course the answer is: All my internet addictions: facebook, twitter, email, blog reading. Sometimes I tell myself that the blog reading in particular gets my juices going, gets my mind thinking in bloggy … Continue reading Accentuating The Postive. Eliminating The Negative
Patanjali and Gary Vee
I’m almost finished reading Crush It, by Gary Vaynerchuk, a book about how to monetize your passion. The big message of this book is: You’ve got to love what you do, work hard, and have patience. There’s lots of other marketing advice too, but these are the big themes he pounds over and over, or … Continue reading Patanjali and Gary Vee
Food For Thought
I have made some new goals for myself recently. In addition to my daily Holosync session (I am now on day 290 of that without a miss) and my “pen” writing in my paper journal (I just re-started after a 2 week break and am now on day 10). I have committed to this blog … Continue reading Food For Thought
