I recently (September 1, 2011) gave a talk at Ignite Boulder 16 on “Plus Less Than Three: The Algorithm of an Amazing Life.” It was inspired by a late June conversation under a tree in a thunderstorm with my friend Lark. This was my second Ignite talk, and I was excited to take the stage. [...]
Last night, while walking down Pearl Street after devouring the cuppa magic that is an affogado, two fellow artists (and devourers of life) and I ruminated on the meaning of ‘a la mode.’ Meaning at once “with ice cream on top or on the side” and “the current trend,” it is a rich word to [...]
A few weeks ago I read this article in Elephant Journal and emailed it to myself to savor later, too. Later just happened whilst sinking into this day of interdependance. “Swollen with Light” is a worthwhile read in resonance with everything I feel so deeply here at love.life.art.work: that “your life is a moving prayer” [...]

Yesterday I awoke from the most amazingly chillaxed day in the history of Ali: I had 4 hours of yoga with Seane Corn and Kathryn Budig at the Hanuman Festival over on the BHS lawn next to the rushing creek on Friday, and found myself at dinner that night, draped in the patio chair like [...]
I revised The Inspiration Book a bit this morning – edited some copy, added in some brighter images, had some fun. Be sure to check it out, send a copy to your pops, and tell all your besties. It’s still very free, just more rich in vibrance.
