New Reviews for My Letter to Fear!
The reviews are in from Readers’ Favorite, and they like me! Okay, they like “My Letter to Fear (Essays on Life, Love and the Search for Prince Charming),” and that’s not really me (except, if you’ve read the book, you know that I’m pretty much in the middle of it all). If you want to
In Transition
It’s just after 3 am here in California, and as is usual these days, I can’t sleep. I could blame the chaos around me in the form of moving boxes, but I think my brain just won’t stop going over all the things that need to be done now that I’ve returned. Returned? Yep. I
Interview with The Feminist Observer
A couple of months ago, I did an interview with Sarah J. Browne for The Feminist Observer. It’s out now, and I’m this month’s “Featured Feminist!” It was a fun interview, and I hope you get a chuckle or two out of reading it. Patricia Steffy, otherwise known as Kate of Kate

Throwback Thursday: Easter Bonnet
We’re throwing way back today. This looks like Easter. I’m guessing either 1970 or 71. I’m clearly cranky. I’m guessing that I was not digging the hat, and my basket looks empty — possibly pre-egg hunt, so I have not yet been given candy. Thinking back, it was a probably a rebuilding year for my
“Go To” Techniques for Success
We’ve all heard the saying, “Fake it until you make it.” Personally, I’ve always thought that’s how people lead themselves into bankruptcy because they are faking being millionaires without the bucks to pay the bills that do eventually arrive. Still, there’s a certain sense of optimism to the saying that sounds better than reality usually
Recommend: Manilow and Sussman have Harmony at the Ahmanson
I was lucky enough to attend a performance of Manilow (yes, as in Barry) and Sussman’s new musical Harmony, running through April 13th at The Ahmanson Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. Why should you see it? It’s sad. It’s funny. It’s emotionally charged. And the music stays with you long after you leave the theater. I
