Vision It
Wednesday * January 30, 2008 MAIN MUSINGS: This evening I had the delight of leading a visioning workshop for the teens at the Dorothy Day Apartments in Harlem. The event was held at the Tribal Spears Gallery & Cafe – a beautiful new space on 116th. We wanted to get the ladies and gents in…
Catch Up
Sunday * January 27, 2008 MAIN MUSINGS: Since I was traveling last week, today is my catch-up day. I slept in and then did a long workout – running and then yoga. I needed to feel more balance in my body from all of the decadent foods I ate on the road (though I must…

Back Home
Tuesday * January 22, 2008 MAIN MUSINGS: I’m back in New York now. With the flight delay from San Francisco, I finally got to sleep in my own bed at 3:30am. Even though I enjoy traveling, it’s nice to come home. Do you feel at home in your house? Does your space represent who you…
Travel Woes
Monday * January 21, 2008 MAIN MUSINGS: Right now, I’m sitting in the San Francisco airport. My flight back to New York is delayed. This is a point where one makes a choice, asking the question: Am I going to be annoyed, or am I going to be productive? Or, am I going to wallow…
