A reminder.
Stop waiting. What are you waiting for? Please stop waiting. Stop waiting to be somewhere else. It does not get better on the other side of The job The relationship The success The milestone. It does not get better because that does not exist. What exists is this moment. :: And this one. :: Oops, […]

a peek backstage into choosing from the heart:
Yesterday I was offered a lead role in an off-broadway play. Acting has edged to the wings of my life (not by choice but by providence it seems + temporarily I still believe) in this last year or two where the woo has seemingly taken over. One of America’s greatest playwrights. A marvelous character. The […]

Six blocks away, tucked in my uber-quiet apartment, I could hear the cheering. I, self-sequestered in on a mid-summer’s balmy Friday eve for an early work sesh upstate the next am, at 11pm, was already in a nightshirt. Everyone else was out, er… literally. I could feel the energy reverberate through my thick pre-war walls, […]

[slideshow]It was a mad week. I had ten toes in 11 ponds and the stretch was beyond uncomfortable, it was cricking painful.

A bestie texts me this last week: “NY Mag Approval Matrix uses the term “crazy-pants.” Never seen it written here before. #magsisatrendsetter.” The New York Magazine approval matrix, in case you’re unfamiliar, is, as they dub it: “Our deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on our taste hierarchies.” Liberal, snarky, it gives a snapshot […]

An elegant, slightly older woman pulls up next to me on tony lower Fifth Avenue. It’s a perfect Manhattan summer afternoon. I am not in a hurry. “I just got this bike: what kind is yours?” We both look down at my legs; it’s an old Schwinn. “You just zoomed by me back there,” she is […]

Here is a first foray into a V-log after a coupla requests… ask and you shall receive. I think I’m a little smarter + certainly less princess-y (perhaps) as a writer, but happy to oblige in the new medium, ‘cause I may just learn that I like to swing both ways. My friend Suz emailed […]

Sometimes I’ve felt like an ‘Elle Woods’ of spirituality. Remember the 2001 movie with Reese Witherspoon, where the “Legally Blonde” gets into Harvard law school, and although she’s smart and innovative, everyone’s all judgy, because she looks like a Barbie doll and has the unfortunate attachment of needing to take her Chihuahua everywhere? If you […]
