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.
And the Universe Laughs Again
My year of experimentation is just days away from coming to a close. It is stunning to me how fast time has gone by and a little frightening. I had hoped that by now people would be throwing money at me because I’d already become this much sought after writer/producer/travel blogger/modern-day philosopher. I haven’t given
Randoms for Thursday
Blast from the Past Do you ever suddenly, absolutely need to hear a song that you probably haven’t heard for 15-20 years? That was me last night. I was overcome with the need to hear “The Flame” by Cheap Trick. I don’t remember ever owning the song before—in fact, I don’t remember owning a Cheap
Memories
Someone full of wisdom recently told me about a journal called “642 Things to Write.” Basically, each page has a prompt for a writing assignment. Since I’m frequently staring at a blank page desperately seeking inspiration, this item seemed like a must buy. Let’s just hope it becomes something I actually use because, alas, I’m

It All Started With…
This Which led to this: Which led to this: In public. Here’s how. A kind friend has taken me in hand and is trying to help me put together some “taking a meeting” outfits in attempt to at least make me feel comfortable enough in my own skin (and wardrobe) to project a totally false
Caption Me Wednesdays
Quick! What am I thinking? If you know me in real life, you’ve probably seen this look at least once. Feel free to post in comments, twitter, email, etc.
Confidence (aka Getting Your Groove Back)
According to Hollywood, which is always right in these matters, the only thing a woman needs to get her confidence back (sexual or otherwise) is to have a fling with a 20-something male. I haven’t done an exhaustive study, but I have a feeling that at least some of those scripts were written by 20-something
