Your Charmed Life

Not only is a revival of the quintessential ’60s musical Hair opening on Broadway this spring, but many astrologers agree that the “dawning” is finally over and the arrival is nearly here – happening, ever so delightfully, on Valentine’s Day. When I wrote last Friday that I’d have a Valentine’s Week surprise today, I didn’t…

As Valentine’s Day approaches (and Valentine’s week continues!), there’s a lot of thought extant about falling in love with somebody. But how about falling in your with yourself, your life, and your very own company? I write about this in my book, Fat, Broke & Lonely No More: “Fall in Love with Your Own Company”from…

I’m seeing this week of love as going outward in luscious ripples — we love those closest to us and let the love flow out to embrace as much of the planet as we can get to. To that end, I have some love-flowing Valentine’s suggestions for your consideration: I’m gonna sing you a love…

As Valentine’s week continues, I’m offering some suggestions for any fellas out there who are smitten with a woman of the vegan (or vegetarian) persuasion. Her book, Dating Vegans, based on her column of the same name in American Vegan magazine, is coming next year from The Book Publishing Company. Among the couples to be…

Happy Valentine’s week! I am a big fan of celebrating everything celebratory and spending enough time doing it.

This afternoon, my daughter, Adair, and I went to Barnes & Noble where…

Oops…Have you ever promised someone you’d do something and then totally blanked on it? I did that: I told my lovely editor at BeliefNet that when this blog officially launched and got a few days of “front page” exposure, I’d write a blog that was more of an introduction — to myself, my work, and…

In times like these when what’s going wrong is far more obvious than what’s going right, and being afraid is easy and can even seem sensible, we need to infect one another with whatever optimism we can get hold of. It’s funny where it comes from, that feeling of uplift that can just take over…

I didn’t expect to have anything in common with the cab driver. She picked me up at my hotel in Delray Beach Monday morning. We could have been the subjects of a fashion magazine story on divergent styles of dress and presentation. I’m the girly-girl character, in my Mary Jane shoes from MooShoes and a…

1. Make a gratitude list in your head before your feet touch the floor in the morning.When you remember ten things you’re grateful for first thing, before worries and stresses start to intrude, you build the foundation for a great day. 2. Have some quiet time with God. A lot of us agree that meditation…

Everybody else has a bailout plan for the economic woes facing our country and the world, so I figured I could come up with one, too. My plan isn’t national and political; it’s personal and spiritual. I started formulating these ideas in late October when I was invited to Iceland to inspire people there in…
