It’s happening. The daylight hours are waning, and here in Los Angeles at least, the nights are growing chillier and the mornings require a sweatshirt to walk the dogs.

Happy 2016! At the dawn of a new year, personal growth naturally moves to the forefront of our minds. Some of us set fitness and health goals; some of us decide to improve our professional and financial situations; and some declare the end of a harmful habit. At one time or another I’ve done all of the […]

The process can be a valuable (not to mention humbling) lesson in letting things go. Here’s a perfect case in point. At the beginning of the holiday season, TaskRabbit contacted […]
Last week I chatted with the amazing Jessica Murnane for her One Part Podcast, and the interview is now live! Jessica had reached out to me after reading the intro to Sage Living and wanted to know more about the journey that led me to write the book. We chatted about the relationship between our […]

In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing more about the concept of the book, as well as the process of writing it. For […]
