How I did it: My practice for over a decade has been every 4-6 months to make an appt. at Vidal Sassoon Academy usually something like 1-2 weeks in advance.

- many luxurious hours of sleep
- newly washed clothes!
- my hilarious niece and her identification with cheeky monkey
- overabundance of snacks (which I must remember to give away instead of consuming absent mindedly)
- M and her smartness and generosity (even while recovering from hardcore partying)
- that I managed to keep my eyes open long enough to roll into SF without hurting myself, the car, or anyone else
- snow, hail, sunshine, the flowers that bloom in the spring – all in evidence in Ashland OR within moments
- playing cards, wild dancing to xmas music, and genuine surprise
- old friends and the perspective they provide
- clam chowder, I wasn’t planning on it, but it hit it
- for J Michael Walker and All the Saints of the City of Angels.
- Roderick Sykes and St. Elmo Village
- Karen Mack and LA Commons
- the rocking and soulful choir at St. Agatha’s Church
- for everyone in the gift economy, who values the act of sharing, who finds joy and sustenance in community and creativity.
