I just watched the video clip of Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga singing “Shallow,” from "A Star is Born" at the Oscar’s Sunday night. I haven’t yet seen the movie and I missed the Oscar’s, but I do have a tiny connection to Bradley Cooper! Last week I was in Los Angeles for a on...

One of my favorite things to do is to walk along the beach and listen to the uplifting recordings I've made for myself — recordings about who I want to be, how I want to live my life, and inspiration to connect more deeply with the world. Yesterday morning kicked off a weekend "writerc...

Last week I wrote to you about my experience nearly NOT going to see the blood red wolf super lunar eclipse. A few days later, I read this piece by Alexandra Franzen, which is along all the same lines. (How easy it is to get talked out of things that bring us joy.) I want to...
