37days book (“Life is a Verb”) coming this fall from Globe Pequot Press

Maverick writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman once wrote that "life is a verb." It is a sentiment echoed by the likes of Buckminster Fuller and Kevin Kelly.

And so it is. Life takes action, not wishful thinking. It takes mindfulness and intention. It takes slowing down and saying yes and being generous and being amazed and loving more. It takes getting out of bed and going to see the tiny Ninjas.

Together with artists from around the world who created amazing works of art to illustrate the essays, I’m so pleased to announce that my third book, LIFE IS A VERB: 37 Days To Wake Up, Be Mindful, Find Your Heart, and Do it Now (Before It’s Too Late) will be published under the Skirt! Books imprint of Globe Pequot Press in the fall of 2008.

I can promise on a stack of vegan pancakes with fresh raspberries that your email address won’t be used for any other reason than letting you know when the book emerges, with that fantastic smell of fresh ink and clean, crisp paper we love so much.

Funny story- One of my old playwrighting teachers the late Davey Marlin Jones was coming out of the theatre at the Intermission after living through the first act of what may have been the most painful and terrible theatre experience on the planet. (There aren’t many things worse than bad theatre.)

We asked if he was going to come back to suffer through the 2nd act. Davey turned to me and and said, “I’m a verb. I don’t belong in there.”

Classic.
