Possibilities & The Divine Law of The Ugly Chair, my guest post on BinduWiles.com

In a past life, I did a bit of interior design work to pay the bills. This was a common scene: The homeowners and I do a walk through of their house. In the living room is a garish chair. Fugly. Usually a lounger, often with some kind of floral pattern. The couple has brought me in because they want fresh, contemporary, comfort. “What’s with the chair?” I ask. “We know it’s horrible, we hate it. But we haven’t had the money to get a new one.” Me: “Get rid of it this weekend.” Them: “But what will we sit on?” Me: “Sit on the floor. Pile up on the couch. You’ll figure it out. The sooner you get rid of it, the sooner the right chair will show up.”

Here's the monumentally important philosophical point: The Divine Law of the Ugly Chair applies as much to furniture and stuff, as it does to lovers, jobs, and thought forms. Please head over to BinduWiles to read the full article.

I just gave my website a facial. Newness =
: HOT SHOP! which now includes an extended list of People You Need To Know (like, coaches, writers, and other life-supporters), some Most Recommended Resources, and a spiffed up personal Amazon store.
: RAVES! fabulous things (most of it unsolicited, even!) that purchasers of The Fire Starter Sessions are saying.
: GIGS: A calendar of upcoming speaking gigs + events in NYC, Seattle, Vancouver, Portland OR, and next week in the Salt Lake City area.

NEW YORK, I love you.
Two things:
1) I'm speaking at the Rich, Happy, Hot Live event at Donna Karan's Urban Zen Center on November 13. It will be an epic 3 day event. I'll be hanging for most of it because I'm mad-crazy about everyone involved and the chickas who have registered so far. Not sure, but I think it's almost sold out (only 150 places.) Check it out, make it happen if you can.

2) SAVE THE DATE. Tweet up Anniversary! Were you at the Thom Bar in SOHO last September with some really hot mamas + me? You'd remember if you were. Details are in the works but Bindu Wiles (who I met at said legendary Tweet Up) and I are looking at Thursday November 11, Wednesday November 10 for a gathering. Just to drink and laugh. No microphones or sign up sheets. The world is invited. Stay tuned.

Lovetothelove,
