yoga balance needs
It used to be only yoga, but now I do Pilates as well; I feel like I need the balance.
people support missing
I also miss the support that I had of so many people. You know I'm a very Ma and Pa operation right now, and I was used to having everything working for me. It was a similar situation when I left Anne Klein and started Donna Karan. All of a sudden I was working in my apartment and it was, "Oh my god, what am I doing?"
husband who-i-am creative
I wouldn't be who I am without my husband, who handled the business end of Donna Karan so I could be creative.
yoga class lines
You know the bodysuit that I built my line on? . . .That was about me being able to go directly from work to yoga class. It just wasn't as accepted to talk about then.
numbers stuff negotiation
Business, numbers, negotiations, all that stuff I wouldn't go near.
morning practice car
Usually I do a practice in the morning first and then meditate. I'm fortunate that I can do it in a car, in a bus, in a plane.
fashion levels dresses
I feel very strongly about dresses on every level - a dress feels like underpinning.
forever cashmere mist
I wanted to create something that would live on forever, beyond my time, and out of that came Cashmere Mist.
calm chaos findings
Its all about finding the calm in the chaos.
people groups energy
It's hard to keep the energy going sometimes, that's why I like to go with a group of people who are meditating. I love meditating in groups, it's fantastic.
creativity hopeful haiti
Where there is creativity there is hope and Haiti is the most hopeful place I've experienced
eye heart problem
You have to keep your eyes and heart open -- there are always new things to discover, new problems to solve.
new-year yoga years
My New Years Resolution is to find the calm in the chaos. Practicing yoga is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. It's where you connect mind, body and spirit.
husband caring nurse
There's such a void in the medical system. When my husband was sick, it became very apparent to me that the nurses were doing the doctor's job, and the doctors were doing the disease job, so no one was caring for the patient and the loved one.
