Shambhala Mountain Center Writers’ Retreat

Have been at SMC for a week, teaching a meditation retreat for writers. It’s been incredible–magical, sweet, tender, and a little nutty. As has been the weather. We’ve had sunshine and snowstorms, darkness and light… Enjoy…

Office redo

Office redecoration underway. This weekend, I repainted. Should be done by tonight. To egg me on, Duncan cooked an amazing dinner last night: corn, tomato, parsley salad &  scallops in coconut milk with pineapple, scallions, and red chiles. For dessert, caramelized bananas. Unbelievable.

GDE Redux Status Report

How was my week? I’ll tell you how my week was. Look at my office. Look at it!! Does this look like the space of a super on top of things person??

Starting to paint and redecorate office this weekend. Very exciting. Going with Benjamin Moore “Clear Skies.” Cheers to the whole concept of clear skies.

I have so much faith in change to reinvigorate and inspire. I really do. This is a chance to start fresh in all things work-related. Which is basically almost everything.
