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.
Why Can’t It Be Easy?
It was another one of those evenings where Pen and I began by lamenting that nothing in life is ever easy. Most of the time, I’m okay with that. I’m not thrilled with it, but I can accept it and struggle through the challenges. Sometimes it even becomes motivating, and I devise a new strategic
Fantasy vs Reality
Morning Fantasy Today I’m going to clean the apartment from top to bottom, do all of my laundry, cook food for the week, write at least five blogs, work on a script and start those two books. Afternoon Reality Well, at least I watched that episode of Masterpiece that was still in my DVR.

Accurate. I blame HGTV and its seductive, seductive ways.
We’re #1 in Cheaters!
This is the headline of a press release I received: Los Angeles Tops List “Cities with Highest Chances of Infidelity” Among Women We’re #1! We’re #1! We’re #1! YEA! Oh, wait. What? The bonds of marriage may be sacred, but according to SeekingArrangement.com even the sanctity of marriage has its price. The study revealed that
