I got what I wanted. Exactly what I longed for. At the precise moment that I wanted it. Wow. Life is amazing. I am amazing. Who has ever had the opportunity to say those words? Seems like desires are somewhat more mysterious than that. Somewhat less generous. We get what we want long before we...

I am writing from a small café on the Champs-Elyseés, soaking in the final moments of my time in Paris (pics below!). After four days together in this breathtaking city, we just completed the graduation session for the Creation Course, and I’m overflowing. Overflowing with pride, with joy, and with volumes of gratitude. These women...

Darling, It’s very nearly July 4th. Which has me thinking about freedom, intense effort, and something I have noticed. There is nothing more erotic than giving your all. Whether it’s to create freedom for yourself, or others. To stand firmly for what’s right. Pulling out all the stops, no holding back, and offering all of...

I am sure you have noticed. Babies cry every single day. Sometimes briefly, sometimes inconsolably. They also laugh every day. Not to mention wriggle, crawl, bounce and flap. And they move smoothly from emotion to emotion: wailing, then settling back to a set point of happiness pretty easily. Nothing like a woman. Women are encouraged...

I just got back from Paris. With 80 gorgeous women. Their beauty makes me weep; can you see what I mean from these photos? Paris. Why Paris? The food? The architecture? The museums? The Gauloises? No. Not really. There are no words to describe the pleasure we each got from all of those things. But that’s...

Darling, The seed versus the flower. I am compelled by the resilience of a seed. Throw them anywhere that approximates good conditions and you can have yourself an oak tree growing in a sidewalk crack. On the other hand, some seeds can be stored for years and years—if the conditions are right. For example, did...

Darling, I am writing to you on my last night in Paris. All the women from the Creation Course have just left, and I just had to share that I am so deeply grateful. Swept away. So moved. So astonished by the sheer raw beauty all around us. And so deeply, deeply touched. This trip completely...

Darling, This is it. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since the conception of the Creation Course last year. Paris. In just 48 hours we will all be converging at the Warwick Hotel on the Champs Elysees, as we begin our total immersion in the city that was, and is, the engraved invitation that...

Darling, There are days, there are times, there are actions that we inhabit that ensure our mediocrity. You know this feeling. You drag yourself from bed, follow the deep grooves of the tracks you laid the day before, and the day before and the day before. Perhaps “rut” is a better word. You show up...

Darling, In exactly 16 days, a group of 65 women will board a plane and land in Paris. These women are part of my intimate inner circle called The Creation Course. Our purpose? For each of us to ignite and inspire and re-consecrate our Inner Courtesan, in the city that gave birth to her. We...
