what inspired me this week?

– a wine & watermelon margarita fueled Friday afternoon with new friends Mary, Jacki & Lindsay and old friends Rachel & Erin. It was an epic afternoon in the sun. They are a seriously soulful and interesting group of woman.

– my new personal essay writing class at Writing Pad with Taffy Brodesser -Akner. There really is nothing better than spending a few hours once a week with other writers.

– yoga class with Tamal on Tuesday night. Every time I leave his class I wonder why I don’t make time for it everyday. I swear it changes my whole perspective.

– the new healing crystals (pink opal, serpentine, blue topaz & aventurine) that I bought in Sedona. I sound like a total hippy, don’t I?

– the book “Why We Write

– the book “How To Write A Screenplay in 10 weeks”. You know I love goals.

what am I grateful for this week?

– I think I found Frank!!

– finding a new therapist I loooooove.

what surprised me this week?

– everything you need always shows up exactly when you need it. Why do I forget this?

sweet Brian for surprising me with a compilation CD of songs he thinks could be contenders for our first dance at our wedding. Probably the most romantic thing ever

I am so grateful for Rachel of One Part Gypsy for taking our engagement photos. I honestly didn’t know I could love pictures more.

My home. It’s always filled with light and I feel so lucky it’s my space to live and work in

recently my life has been filled with unexpectedly lovely surprises, especially regarding work. I love it when this happens. So much better than a string of unexpected shitty events, huh?

What surprised me this week?

I had my first therapy session after many many many years. I expected it to be hard to pull out of my shell but instead I was SOOOO CHATTY. Couldn’t shut me up.
