Dear Me and You, 2022, another Biatch of a year… in a good way, mostly. I am lucky enough to have been born an optimist. I see the glass half full, hold my head high and most of the other clichéd expressions related to being a happy camper. The world has been a rough place, goin’ on a few years now and even a bit more personally but still, I laugh a lot and see beauty all around me. Not […]

Worry… that state of, does nothing to help, often renamed with over used psycho-trendy terms like processing… “I’m processing what happened”, or didn’t happen, that text, comment, break-up… or trauma that I can’t get past – for my whole life! And most definitely, my past lives. And yes, I’m totally on board with feeling the feels, (Passion is my middle name) but what it usually, really means is, I’m obsessing nonstop! And knowing when and how to reframe, un-block and […]

I have always loved clouds. Sunny days, with big, fat puffy cotton ball clouds, slow-mo belly dancing around the piercing rays of light, almost poking fun at the perfect, bright day. And then the dark hominess cloud clusters that lurk to the far left or right, warning and hovering for their moment to break out on stage and take over the moment and hopefully night with a downpour/sleeping pill effect. And sometimes I view those far off super defined, dense […]

Yea, so we are approaching another weird holiday season, with lots of stuff… stuck. The harbor is overloaded with everything, kinda, sorta, slowly getting delivered. (still don’t get why huge companies aren’t paying truckers a sh*t-ton of money to drive.) And I feel kinda, sorta, frozen. Not literally, since I’m in SoCal, but emotionally unsure of how to keep my normally high energy, super positive, no need for alcohol to dance on the bar, attitude – going strong. I do […]

Escapes from reality! We, none of us on this planet expected this virus to kick all of our butts this hard. Yes, some are working from home and staying in pjs or sweats all day, still making good money and ordering-in sushi, pizza, tacos, sometimes all on Tuesday. But many are stressed, scared, anxious, too fat, too skinny, too high, too drunk, exhausted, not sleeping, not getting out of bed or watching The Sopranos for the 10th time. Dare I […]

I don’t post selfies. That too self-indulgent and begging for a compliment, for me. I’m mostly a voyeur on social media with a few likes, loves and rah-rahs thrown in, but today I’m writing my selfie version of showing off. I’ve officially named myself Superwoman. Call it ego. Call it a correct response to my life as of late… either which way, I am awesome. I have at least four gold medals in nurturing, my family, friends, clients, dog, […]

“There was, some time ago, a gentleman who was very rich. He had fine town and country houses, his dishes and plates were all of gold or silver, his rooms were hung with damask, his chairs and sofas were covered with the richest silks, and his carriages were all gilt with gold in a grand style. But it happened that this gentleman had a blue beard, which made him so very frightful and ugly, that none of the ladies, in […]

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — Seven-year-old Faith Lennox never thought much about putting a prosthetic limb where her missing left hand had once been. Not until the little girl learned she could design her own, strap it on easily and then jump on her bike and pedal away at speeds previously only imagined. With family members occasionally shouting “Be careful” and “Watch out for that car,” Faith firmly placed her new hand’s bright blue and pink fingers on her bike’s […]

I was listening to NPR the other morning and Annie Lenox was being interviewed. She was asked about her reaction to all the new videos featuring and shall we say, glorifying the ever beautiful, ample ass. Her answer was, “twerking is not feminism.” I had to agree. When I was growing up in New York in the 70’s and 80’s, all my mom’s friends worked, mostly in fashion, writing, designing, editing and graphics. They all had kids, husbands, pets and […]
