There's few things in life as luxurious as a truly quiet Sunday morning. Other little joys include waking up before the rest of the world, stargazing in the darkest valley you've ever seen and the beauty of spending time with friends who know and love you.

A Love Letter to You, Straight from The Heart

This one's an actual love letter I wrote, just for you. We'll be back to regular on Wednesday, but for now, let's get way too close and share far too much for five minutes.

Sleep: Simple, Slow and Sweet

A Moment of Intimacy and Peace

Sometimes I get lost in your thoughts, not even lost in my own. There's a certain feeling when you're with a group and you're all standing around talking and the person you know best winks at you. The circle draws a bit closer and you're suddenly aware of everything in the world. Happiness in a half-life.

There's Better Things Ahead Than Any We Leave Behind

Sometimes knowing it and feeling it makes all the difference. Apologies to my man C.S. Lewis, but it was really just too perfect to not borrow as a title. Sometimes it feels like the happiness of the weekend is diametrically opposed to the happiness of the week day, but truly, it's all drawing from the same well, the same river of joy. Where can we find time to create more joy this week?

Sleep: Everything's Better When You're Around

SPECIAL SLEEP EPISODE. I like to listen to the sounds of the city late at night as I fall asleep, strange conversations far off, the distant roar of the ocean or the freeways... there's always something to hear, and I think of everyone I know, asleep in their beds, safe and secure. You're asleep too, and I think about you, too.

The World Reveals Itself, If You Keep Looking Closely

There's a lot of joy to be found in noticing the smallest things in the world -- pasta with cheese, looking at the same Italian hillside as Michaelangelo did, and your face from across the room when I catch you looking at me.
