It is so easy for a woman to lose her way. A trip through the morning headlines can ignite grief, frustration, despair. A glance in the mirror can trigger disapproval which can be hard to shake. A day flooded with tasks, both surmountable and insurmountable, can suck some serious wind from anyone’s sails. And let’s...

Before we get into today’s post, I wanted to share a video feature on me that just came out in Best Self Magazine – one of my fave interviews ever! Our conversation went all over the map – it’s powerful, info-packed and so much fun. Click here to access the full video interview. Meanwhile, today,...

Darling, Every morning, I start my day the same way: I dance naked for 10 minutes. Two full songs on my playlist. Every morning. Even when I don’t want to — especially when I don’t want to — I dance. 10 minutes in the morning. Then, little 30-second tune-ups throughout the day, when I start...

Darling, I have just gotten the single mother break of the century. My daughter has a whole weekend sleepover with a camp friend, in the country.  She gets fresh fall air, changing leaves, and giggling all night with friends, and I have time to ride my horse, catch up with friends, and sip a cup...

Darling, Sensuality is power. Not domination.  Not force. It is something different.  It is both more practical and more numinous. Yesterday, I was traveling seven hours with my daughter, to have a weekend visit with my college chums on Cape Cod.  The day before, I had packed up our beach house and moved us back...

Darling, I am so deeply impatient with mediocrity. Irritated off the wall with settling, with compromise, with shrinking. I cannot even stand on a line without questioning it or inventing an alternative. Yesterday I was on a line at Briermere Farms, trying to pick up a going-away pie to bring to my friend Amanda. And...

This week we look at relationships: How do you take a relationship and have it grow better and better over time? How do you create and acknowledge the space to allow THE relationship to be unveiled? How do you see through what you think you need, to where your pleasure is actually found?

Ohmygoddess! LOOK at your body. I mean, LOOK at it! Really. Look at it. What do you see? Do you see beauty? Flaws? Flab? I was having dinner with a friend in the Hamptons on Saturday night, and there was a moment when we were in her bedroom, getting ready for a party, and reviewing...

Life transitions… Such a polite way to describe what are really the dark nights of the soul, those dark, difficult turning points in life. Just when you think you have it all figured out… WHAM! Life turns you upside down and shakes you. I know that many of you are going through your own exploding version...

Darling, Reinvention. Really? We have to do that—again? But I just re-created myself! I thought I dealt myself a brand new set of cards, after taking untold risks and doing a gut reno on my life. Why again?? (Big exhale.) It’s all about desires, sisters. As women, we are the holders, the bearers, the inhabitors...
