I know that some of you, visiting this blog are perhaps thinking x-rated thoughts of me (one can only hope, right?), but when it comes to hiring me to be your very own creativity coach, someone to help you get your mind right, you’re all, “Oh, no, I’m fine. Fine and dandy! I don’t need…

I’m still deeply, madly, truly hungover–despite eating a ton of fried food and chocolate, so now I feel both very hungover and guilty and bloated–but this article about Rachelle Friedman, the bride-to-be who was paralyzed last year in a freak accident involving one of her bridesmaids, despite which she remains so resolutely upbeat and positive, is just too inspiring:…

Okay sports fans, I’m going to try to be professional today–ha, why start now, right?-since last night I broke the cardinal rule of not eating enough when you mix a great deal of alcohol, so currently–and it hurts me to admit this–alcohol is not my friend. A dear friend gave me a can of gin…

I have approximately four million and one things to accomplish today, so I really should not be reading more coverage of the News of the World/hacking scandal, especially since it just raises my blood pressure.

Even days after reading it, I remain beyond blown away, still astonished by the courage displayed in this incredible article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/10/opinion/sunday/10als.html?emc=eta1 Makes me feel bad for ever bitching about anything, ever.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the importance of self-confidence, and how damaging the lack of self-confidence can be on ones’s ability to make and sustain the hard choices necessary to success…and that formed a link in my mind with the phenomenon of the “scambloggers:” some (understandably) pissed-off men and women who blog about…

I’m more than usually maniacal today since I’ve been awake since 3am brainstorming–it started out with me about to drop-kick one of the cats out the window, since I was rudely awoken by profuse vomiting, but then I was wide awake and had a great idea and yes, I’ve been awake and working for quite…

I had a boring date Saturday night (meh, it happens.), that after two hours, and two double gin & tonics, I bailed on: had to get home to Adult Swim, The Kitten, my love affair with the taco truck, etc. But the funniest  (translation: not funny whatsoever) part, was when the boy said, discussing his…
