The Way Forward

There’s a pair of sleek Theory pants that I have my eye on. I’ve been tracking them all season, waiting for a sale. Today I noticed they were 30% off. Considering whether the moment had arrived for the purchase, I had a chilling thought – when will I ever be getting out to wear them?

A New Walking City

Something I never thought I’d see here in Los Angeles. Few cars, lots of pedestrians.

Finding the Spark

This week, one of my clients who trained to be a violinist but is now a corporate lawyer, told me about an uplifting moment. She was hunkered at home with her family when she heard this beautiful sound coming from the neighborhood. Someone who she couldn’t see was playing Bach. She was so moved that she decided to go outside on her front steps with her violin and accompany whoever it was. And as these strangers played together, others on the street came out to listen.

What New Thing Have You Tried?

Have you cooked a new food, baked bread, streamed an exercise video, power walked, cut your hair? What’s your coping innovation these days?

I’ve been streaming yoga classes and this is pitch perfect.
