I’m in Antigua for a third time. I love this island and think I have found my favorite hotel yet. My room overlooks a private beach that I have been the only person on all week. I’ve fallen asleep to the sound of the waves crashing just below my verandah every night. perfect.

Willie Nelson (with Johnny Cash)- Always On My Mind
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind…this song always makes me want to cry
i have a musician, Jimmy, he plays at my restaurant on tuesdays and thursdays. he always plays this for me. and he says it took him years to learn how to play it without crying.
“ The thing about her is, she’s good-natured. He knew it the second he saw her standing by the parking meters. He could just tell from the soft way her belly looked. With women, you keep bumping against them, because they want different things, they’re a different race. Either they give, like a plant, or scrape, like a stone. In all the green world nothing feels as good as a woman’s good nature. ”
John Updike
i chopped so many poblano peppers for dinner tonight, that my fingers are still burning and tingling. feels good in a sorta weird way, just have to remember not to touch my eyes.
This is the cover for the cookbook I’m editing for a charity yogathon. my very talented friend, jennifer, designed it!

VIRGO (August 23-September 22):
This week is a major turning-point for you, Virgo, in that you’ve hit the moment where you must make something of your past few months’ passions and/or perturbations… or you’ll merely prove yourself to be a glutton for punishment, for no other reason than masochistic pleasure. Okay, maybe that opening sentence is a bit heavy-handed, but no less true. Now that your solar 9th house will be getting all the planetary action, you’re due to reach a higher understanding of what this has all meant to your ever-developing character… how it’s inspired you toward or away from certain types of activities, because they boost or undermine your sense of being proud and morally stable. On the chance your recent past has been disorienting or demoralizing in some way, this is your moment to take a dramatic step in the other direction. It almost doesn’t matter where that step takes you, as long as it’ll provide a vastly different backdrop for evaluating your life as a whole (not just this past period in hyper-magnification). Maybe now is the time to get back in touch with a magical motivating presence from your past? to launch into that new activity you’ve been curious about? to plan a transformational getaway? And even if your recent past has instead been enchanting and captivating, you still have to find a way to bring it back down to earth… to sustain what you’ve gained from it, without continuing to overlook other parts of your being that have been temporarily pushed aside. In any event, you’ve got to bring everything together again—for your own unity of being and meaning. Otherwise, you’re basically living multiple realities, which breeds disintegration—not integration—of self.
