Subway musicians are a huge part of New York City’s underground life. A couple of months ago I started recording little snippets of the sounds I was hearing in the subway. I finally got around to uploading them to share with you. It’s no great recording or mixing feat but I hope you enjoy this quick, under 3 minutes, listen.
Hi guys! Hope you enjoyed the Supermoon this weekend. Here are this weeks pics:

I can’t believe I have been gone from LA for over a week so far. I have been to Ft. Myers, Huron and Cleveland in those 7 days. It has been a wild ride so far and wanted to share a couple snippets of my life in the past week.

I dwell in Possibility
BY EMILY DICKINSON
I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –
Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –
Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –
L: How is it being home?
F: It’s been so nice. I already feel like it’s over and it’s just begun. I’ve seen family, friends and spent some time at Mommom’s beach house.
L: Have you been listening to much music lately? If so, what?
F: We have just been listening to DMC albums lately. However, we did blast Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club and it was amazing as per usual.
L: I hear (from you) that you started hula-hooping. How’s it going?
F: Oh man, hula hooping was my jam, until I got the worst bruise after going for an hour and a half. I won’t show you mine, but it’s nuts.
L: Do you have a good face mask recommendation?
F: My friend Kaya uses this one and it’s amazing!!!!
L: What is a quote, motto, affirmation or saying that resonates with you right now?
F: Try to have fun and don’t spread yourself too thin. Ask for help when you need it.
Yesterday, my friend Karen and I started a seven-week oil painting class. Somehow I have never painted before (other than on the walls of my apartment) and I don’t think I have taken any sort of art class since my freshman year of high school. I’m pretty excited to go back next week. In the meantime, Bob Ross clips will play on my screen over and over again.
We hope that you enjoyed your holiday weekend! We were supposed to overlap for a day in Cleveland but Lauren’s flight in was canceled. Here’s a little look back at our weekends.

I feel like a kiddo on summer vacation! I have been reading so much during my down time.
So far this summer, I have read:
The Interestings -Meg Wolitzer
*
Miniminalism – Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus
*
A Visit From the Goon Squad – Jennifer Egan
*
The Goldfinch – Donna Tartt
Lovers through the trees – Central Park
F: How do you cope with stress?
L: I’m pretty much a crier so overwhelming feelings of any sort generally bring me to tears. Other than that, when I’m really stressed out I try to remember that nothing is permanent and whatever scenario I’m facing will be different with time.
F: Have there been any lasting habits or changes you have made since the Clean Cleanse in January (it’s ok if there aren’t)?
L: Unfortunately, I don’t think there are. I really felt so good about doing the cleanse and experiencing such a level of health and balance in my body. But as they say, old habits die hard.
F: What is your favorite summer cocktail/drink?
L: I’m on a pretty heavy Rosé kick these days. Delicious and refreshing.
F: Are you reading anything, yet?!
L: I am! Recently finished this John Sarno and Paul Arden book (highly recommend the Arden book for anyone looking for a little career – or life – inspiration). Now I’m making my way through this set of Nora Ephron’s essays and The Diary of Anais Nin.
F: What is a creative outlet for you?
L: This is actually something I’ve struggled with for most of my life & think my life will feel much better once I have identified it. For now all sorts of little things serve as creative outlets: playing dress up in my own closet, rearranging my apartment, taking pictures, doing a little writing from time to time. I guess like anyone, sometimes I feel like I’m on a real creative kick and other times I wouldn’t know from where to begin to draw. C’est la vie, ma chère sœur.
A couple of my co-workers love Jason Silva and it wasn’t until a week or so again that I understood why. I spent one evening watching video after video of his. I could not get enough! He calls these videos philosophical shots of espresso and that term is pretty dead on. Lately, when I am feeling bored or depressed, I quickly google Jason Silva on my phone and watch a video or two.
If you want to more from Jason, check out this Marie Forleo’s nterview with him.
