Your Charmed Life

I love doing Monday blogs since they’re so full of the wonders I discovered over the weekend.  The first joy was the documentary, Valentino: The Last Emperor. The clothes were so exquisite; his relationship with his 45-year partner in both business and life was so loving; and the chance to spend an hour and a…

Fairly often, I get a question from a reader about exactly what I eat. Especially now, with my book The Love-Powered Diet: Eating for Freedom, Health, and Joy, coming out next month, this aspect of life is one I’m thinking of more and more. Here’s a question that came from a lovely woman named Lana…

Good Lord, we’re in a lot of debt! We’re in debt as individuals and we’re in debt as a nation. This is bad metaphysics. You cannot dig yourself out of a hole by digging the hole deeper. But you can do something in your own life to say, in paraphrase of the classic film Network:…

When you read this, I’ll be away. I speak five or six times a year at the New Age Health Spa in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. These are some of the sweetest times in my whole year. I’d heard of the New Age from several friends and finally took myself there as…

These are strange times and for a great many people, very difficult ones. But we’re all connected and, however severely or marginally this economic season has impacted your life, we owe it to one another to come through graciously, generously, and with an eye on healing both our economy and our world. 1.

I saw daffodils in Central Park today. I was coming crosstown on the bus, looking at the tall buildings to the south and thinking that this isn’t such a great spring for many of their inhabitants. Stock portfolios have tanked, jobs are precarious if held at all, and there’s fear all around as we look…

    My husband, William, and I were at a benefit, talking about spiritual things with a woman I know. William, whose top score on the Beliefnet Belief-o-Matic quiz was secular humanist, volunteered that he views the Bible as “no more true than a comic book.” The woman said, “Well, I see the Bible as metaphor.”…

I was walking south on Broadway at 86th Street and heard my name. A gentleman I know from church was walking uptown with his Fairway Market bags. I told him he looked wonderful (he did) and he gave the credit to his new acupuncturist. Now, this was interesting because I’d been dealing with tendinitis about…
