Mentoring Will Change Your Life. Also, Don’t Be Selfish
There are a few stretches in my life where I wish I had the influence of a strong and positive mentoring figure. I hate playing the what-if game–what-if I had done this instead of that, would I have a better job/relationship/life now?–but I do think that having good mentors can...

The mind may be our greatest sexual organ, but without the heart, our sex lives, just like the rest of our lives, wouldn't exist. Until you, or someone you're having sex with, has a heart attack or is diagnosed with heart disease, you probably won't think too much about the...
Tipping the Scales on Sex Addiction

The ignition had hardly fired when my daughter started yelling, “Mommy! Turn it up!” It’s her favorite song; I complied despite the exceedingly dim view I take of the artist. We listened in silence (the little ones have co-opted their sister’s musical tastes) until it was over, then I tossed out...

I Hope You Like These. It Took Me A VERY Long Time To Open The Package.
Ugh, I hate how my period makes me moody and extra sensitive. Perhaps the pinky-purple daisies (in the photo above) that Aiden brought me on Tuesday were a preventative measure.
