Cutting Loose
When was the last time you really let it rip? Shattered the BS about “Children should be seen and not heard” – annihilated all memory of being told “Be Quiet!” you’re “too loud” or “Stop being obnoxious” or “You’re not being appropriate” etc etc and just let it all...
Missed Flight
Back in my TV days living as an adrenalin junkie, I loved seeing how close I could cut my arrival times at the airport. Heart-bursting races to the gate were a bizarre badge of honor signifying my cavalier attitude towards jet travel. Collapsing in my seat, wiping the...
Tug O’ War
You want to fly! But part of you holds back. You're jazzed about creating a fantastic life! And part of you sits in the corner, sucking your thumb in self-doubt. Sound familiar? I used to think this was the inevitable war playing out between my Higher and lower selves...
Standing naked
This whole time back from my seven-week, drop-everything-that-doesn't-work-or-feel-good journey through CA/AZ/NM I've been housesitting at a friend's place in Olympia. And I’ve been filled with ??? Where to next? What next? Wanting ANSWERS!!!!! Like NOW!!!!! And yet...
Living from the INSIDE OUT
Since I cut loose and ran off to the Arizona desert in March I’ve been on a roll. All the heaviness of 80-hour weeks prepping for a book launch that fell flat—all the horrible self-judgment and feelings of failure because I didn’t sell 5,000 copies in the first month...
Seeking safety
Devotion means you have seen the limitations of who you are and you have seen the boundlessness of what life is. ~ Sadhguru I want safety. Security. I’m 65 and damn well feel like I need these companions more than ever. And yet safety and security have rarely...
YOU are the message
So, I’m sitting in PF Chang’s at the Sherman Oaks Galleria in LA with my friend Robert Rabbin having lunch last week. Robert is like no one I’ve ever met before. I could use normal descriptors and say he’s “really real” or “genuinely genuine” or “incredibly...
Turned on All the Time
We’re supposed to be “ON” all the time. Right? On at work. On at home. On in bed. Where the hell did that expectation come from anyway? Even a freaking light bulb burns out and needs to be changed occasionally. Maybe this is pure projection on my part, but it seems...
Road Trip!!
I don’t know what it is about the words ROAD TRIP … but it sure gets the juices flowing—even when it would seem there’s no juice left. Frankly at the moment I feel a lot like one of those pithy green limes that keep showing up in the grocery stores nowadays. You know...
Lions and tigers and chemtrails … oh my
So I was on a radio show the other day, talking about (what else?) The E Word, the ego, evolution, and enlightenment. Thankfully I never get tired of sharing this information with people. It’s new every time. Plus every show host brings her or his unique perspective...
