Letting Go
I have loved this flat in Istanbul! But the time has come for me to let go and turn towards what is next. Old Constantinople is not going anywhere anytime soon – so it’s a great time to invest in this world class city.
Pigs or Politics?
I had dinner with 2 friends last night, both of whom have lived in Ubud for over 10 years. What do you think we talked about? Politics? Football?
No, we talked about pigs.
A New Face For Communal Living
I have dreamed of living in community for the past 3 years, and although I had thought it would happen in Bali, it has come to fruition in Marin, California.
Borders
How is it that we erect arbitrary lines between countries, keeping some people out and others in? Why do we do this???
Good Morning Bali
In this moment, in this skin, feeling this heart, sitting outside surrounded by rice paddies, bare feet, wrapped in a sarong, soft tropical air bathing body, tasting Bali coffee and cashew milk on my tongue, hearing a scooter motor past, birds twitter, and unseen things cackle and crow life into being, the flutter of wings, the buzz of a bee, all of us … greeting this moment.
Meanwhile, Back in Bali
I talked to my students about being in relationship to their writing as if the writing were an intimate partner. And so in honor of living what I teach. I’m here to say, I love you writing and I’m committing to more intimate time with you.
Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, October 2013
At the recent Ubud Writers and Readers Festival, there was an Indonesian author who touched me deeply.
Stepping Up
Most people don’t set themselves up to do things they don’t want to do. So why do I? I can’t really say. All I knew was that it was time.
Just Breathe
Whether you would like to recover from writer’s block, painful memories, negativity, the inability to solve a particular problem or whether you simply wish to experience incredible bliss, peace and blasts of insight that will change your life, breath work can take you there.
An Interview
So much has taken place these past 4 months…Now what? I’m packing up to return to Bali to facilitate “Breathe Life Into Your Book” at the lovely Kumara Sakti Resort in Ubud, Bali on October 6-13, 2013. We have just a few spots left, so if you’d like to join us, please email [email protected] ASAP.
