Recently John Stevens, a 7th dan Aikikai and Buddhist priest came to our dojo, Bay Marin Aikido. Stevens, who has written over thirty books on Buddhism, Aikido and Asian culture, is considered one of the foremost authorities on Aikido. The experience was enriching, wild-hearted and intense. Beginners and experienced Aikidokas (Aikido practitioners) were challenged by [...]

I’m bronzed and relaxed. Recently I media trained Dr. Brian Alman Ph.D in clinical psychology on the beach in San Diego. This was a first for me as sand, sea and sound bites don’t usually go together. I loved it! The beach is where he does his private sessions. All day. He does 20 [...]

On the way to Philadelphia for the holiday I met a stewardess who made my day, and inspired me to reflect on what I wanted to bring to bear for the new year. First, she soothed the ruffled feathers of my sweetie. We were flying first class and were a bit late to the gate [...]

I have an Italian temper that I’ve worked my whole life to transmute from lead to gold, but I’m so mad I could scream like they do in those horror films. My sweetie and I have tended to variety of trees planted against the back yard fence – Cypress, Pear, Lavatara, Sambuca, beautiful and full, [...]

It’s intense. The story, which includes deception, sex, celebrities, heiresses, spiritual leaders, gambling and lots and lots of money is unsettling. The challenge is to find the core of the story while telling the truth — no matter how hard, ugly or disturbing. My client is risking everything so other people won’t get hurt like [...]

Knowing how valuable it is to get in O, consider your competition and understand that, like The Oprah Winfrey Show, the standards at the magazine are some of the toughest in the industry. O prides itself in being a publication that values beauty, courage, attention to the finer points of relationships, and people doing amazing [...]

I spoke at a Film Angels event, a program that matches filmmakers with venture capitalists who want to support the film industry — while making a profit.
