My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
This Week on Dating in LA
You could be sitting around your place today wondering if you missed anything interesting on the blog this week. The answer: of course! You missed pictures of sunsets, tips about a new (and completely fun) place to drink wine, and some craziness in someone’s desperate attempts to lose weight. So, in case you missed them,

Would You Do This to Lose Weight?
I’ll admit that I can become somewhat obsessive about my weight from time to time. I’ll go through phases where I’m very dedicated to getting down to a certain size (more to be able to fit in my clothing better than to hit a specific number, though). I’ll gear up to do more exercise. I’ll
How Wine Can Be Something New
When I announced that my something new for the day would involve wine on Instagram, I had more than one skeptical response. It’s true– wine is not a new thing. Though I’m still a light-weight when it comes to drinking, I have done my share of tasting. I’d like to say that I have gained
Head West, Young (ish) Woman
I had very modest goals for my first time on the ocean in a sailboat: don’t die don’t throw up on anybody I’m happy to report that both goals were accomplished with my usual degree of skill. To be honest, I don’t believe I was even close to tempting fate on either of those issues,
Finding the “Write” Spot
While I’ve been wandering around the city finding “the new,” I’ve been keeping my eyes open for potential new writing spots. You’d think that any space that would allow me to sit down and start writing would work, but no. I like to make it difficult (half of you just said, “Don’t you always?”). For
Enjoying the Single Life (aka The Urban Family)
A little over a year ago, I had someone look over the pitch for the web series. I wanted a male perspective, and he had many wonderful and useful comments about the approach to the series. However, one of his comments really stopped me in my tracks. He said, “No one will ever believe she
Why So Angry?
Note: This is what I was in the middle of writing when that pesky bomb threat thing happened. You can see that there was already something a little bizarre in the air. Some days beg for cider. But I didn’t want any of my standbys. Luckily, my LA pub of choice added a new one
How Happy Hour Became a Little Weird (aka Things You Learn During a Bomb Threat)
My original post for something new today was a relatively humorous post about the new cider I had discovered during an unplanned happy hour celebration with friends. I may still post that later, but at the moment, I think you would be better served by learning how to make the most of a bomb threat.
New Week, New Technology
There was quite a lot of new over the weekend, but most exciting for me was the upgrade (finally!) of my phone. None of my apps were really working anymore (mostly because, as my friend C put it, they were made in 1984), and it was looking like I might lose out on some writing
