Love List: Join the Crazy Sexy Diet Revolution!

January 26, 2011

  I am blown away, humbled and stoked! Guess what? We find out whether we made the New York Times Bestseller list TONIGHT. Am I nervous? No. In fact, I’ll go out on a limb, against all my superstitious judgment, and say that I think we did it! I think YOU did it. But you know what’s bigger than the acknowledgments? The movement we’ve created. I see it firsthand. I see it in the bookstores,… Read More >

Love List: Gratitude Journaling

September 29, 2010

Since I mentioned how much I love Bridget Morris’ journals in my last love list, I thought I’d put them to use this week with a little gratitude is the attitude doodling. As I’ve said before, the best way to tackle glass-half-empty thinking is to remind yourself of the things that are working in your life and to take stock of the beauty and special people/experiences that charge you up. Now, I know it’s tough… Read More >

Love List: Soulful Scribbles & Vegan Treats

1. Journals are one of my greatest loves. Each morning I begin my day with some soulful scribbling. This has been a treasured ritual for decades and one of my most powerful tools in pushing through life lemons, working out personal challenges and discovering creative nuggets of joy.

1. Betabrand Cornucopia Bag: Check out this redonkulously cool Farmers Market Backpack! The geniuses at Betabrand sent me one of these bio-fabulous bags and I must say – it’s damn useful. Back in my NYC food shopping days I would have killed a carrot for one of nifty veggie toters. This bag is better than Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. And speaking of chambers, inner pockets galore keep your treasured foodie delights separate and… Read More >

July 28, 2010

Love Warrior, Last week I launched my Love List series. Well, amen, hipshake, cause sooo many people wrote their own and tweeted and FB’d it. There’s even a Love List group on myCSL (go join it hot pants). Love Lists heal. They are fun and funky and free. Love Lists remind you that life is deliciously sweet, like a big drippy emotional ice cream cone (sans the glycemic spike). Tune in every Wednesday for my… Read More >

Love List: Chandeliers & Airstreams

July 21, 2010

A Love List is a reminder of glass half-full/brimming over living and lusciousness. Love Lists tap you on the shoulder when you get lost or slip into darkness. Because life is too sweet to be bitter and sometimes you need the universe to whisper in your ear, “Hey, there’s lots of beauty and majesty out there, lots of things you adore, so why the sourpuss?” You can write a Love List any time. You can… Read More >
