I'm gonna live-blog the Oscars for as long as I can stand them tonight! Which may not be very long, given the incredible horror of Barbara Walters that I already withstood, and now Regis Philbin is talking on the red carpet. Holy crap I may not make it through this! George Clooney on why people want...
I've decided I need a 12 Step Program for Life. No, I don't drink, smoke, do drugs (except really good Free Trade Coffee), don't have an eating disorder or gamble (except when I drive on the Turnpike) and I don't have any "isms", at least that I am aware of. But it seems every now and then that my...
Life is meant for entertainment purposes only. - Abraham-Hicks I love this quote. When I start taking myself too seriously (which has been happening quite a bit lately), I am reminded that yes, life really is just about love, laughter, helping others, and having a good time doing it. And one of my...
I am trying to do some things differently. Changing patterns.....giving some things up, taking some new things on. I am focusing on gratitude. I am writing my Morning Pages (yes - that means I am giving "The Artist's Way" one more shot.......) I sped through Julia Cameron's 400 page memoir, "Floor...
But man she takes a lot of shit-kicking in the press, especially blogland. She doesn't offend me in any way -- generic blondes have that effect on me -- and I think she has done well to elevate herself in a cast that's almost uniformly more talented than her, and I also think she is not the Second...
Entry 5: On Self February 12, 2008 Well, here we are at Day 7 of Lent and it is already difficult to remember I'm in Lent. I think it is the word "self" that creates the problem for me. Lent is about "self" examination, "self" discipline, "self" denial. It's even about "self induced action: prayer,...

I'm starting to think that maybe it *is* possible to be reading too many things at once. I still don't think one can *own* too many books... but alas, it may be possible for an individual to *buy* too many books. And it may be possible that I don't read as fast and with as much focus as I used to....
to bloom, open out, come out; (of a person) to bloom, blossom (out) This French word perfectly describes my current state. I am still here in Paris. It still feels good to be me. Feeling radiant and rooted despite being in what can sometimes feel like a rocky place. Feeling like an ocean washing...
I've been away from the page for a while.... for a couple of reasons really. Those of you that know me in real life - (only a sprinkling of you, as I keep this URL pretty close to the vest...) You are here because you are safe. You are my real friends in my real life. Julia Cameron writes that when...
A fun little book meme I "borrowed" from Fattypants . . . I also left off the tag part so go for it if you're interested . . . 1. One book that changed your life: Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams. It was the book that led me to the Science Fiction/Fantasy section of the library...

this is my reading and writing-only blog. I started another blog last year about writing, but I hate that all the posts are public.... sometimes I'm not ready to share something yet. so that became an excuse for me to stop posting regularly. but dammit, this time I need some accountability. so I've...

My question this morning is: How do I find time to read all the books I want to read? I currently have a 35 pound totebag of a variety of things from Anne Lamott (love her), to Jhumpa Lahiri, Julia Cameron, to Rosemary Mahoney, to Mary Pipher. The books run the gamut from writing and creativity, to...
