medicine doe body
One cardinal rule in behavioral medicine is that unless it is interfered with, your body knows exactly what it is doing and always does the best thing it can do under the circumstances. Consequently, if you are overweight, you may reasonably assume that the extra fat itself is your body's best adjustment to the circumstances you are providing.
fitness weight-loss healthy
Living a healthy lifestyle will only deprive you of poor health, lethargy, and fat.
dream say-anything actors
When you're an actor working in the theater, you would never say anything to the writer, never alter the dialogue, never dream to ask for changes.
acting honest being-honest
To be honest I never thought the acting thing would get off the ground.
needs models
To be a good model, I'd need a lot more confidence... and more confidence to be more bare.
children writing parent
I've found it easier to write, to coalesce my thoughts, since having children. It brings you back to what you experienced yourself as a child, and you empathize with what your parents went through.
writing stuff gone
I'd gone through the ups and downs and curveballs that life throws at you. I found writing to be very therapeutic and it helped me with a lot of the stuff I was going through.
running yoga sanity
Running - and yoga, too - is my sanity and my saviour. It's just finding the time to do it!
running opportunity giving
Running gives you a great opportunity to work stuff out in your head.
live-life adventure journey
I like someone who embraces life; who wants to be on a long journey but has no particular plan or destination in mind. An adventurous man, open to the concept of living life in the moment.
believe thinking-about-you who-i-am
If a nuclear disaster occurred, and you had to live out those final painful days just stretched out somewhere thinking about your life--This is who I am. This is what I love. This is what I believe--who would you want hearing your whispers? Or perhaps better: Who do you trust to hear your whispers? Whose breath do you want mingled with your own? Whose flesh still warm beside you?
writing building dollhouses
Building a dollhouse is a lot like writing a novel because you are God of the Universe.
garden thinking choices
Certainly if I were to think in terms of a field that would have required a different mode of education, I think I would have leaned in the direction of being a therapist. And without the education, or a different kind of education, I think my first choice would be a landscape architect. I love to garden.
real writing together
I feel very protective in the first draft, when all the pieces are coming together. I work in a way that is not linear or chronological at all, even with the short story. I will just be writing bits and pieces, and then when I have all the pieces on the table, that for me is when it feels like the real work begins.
