I applaud those whom over the last couple of years have courageously come forward to expose the heinous and despicable sexual abuse of their victimizers. Though, I am aware that not only women have been harassed and degraded by those in power, I will speak to women, first, because I am one, and second, because…Continue reading #Metoo, Now What

Fall is Finally Here
Enter the pumpkin-flavored everything, the hot apple cider and fuzzy sweaters. I’m unsure if it’s the sight of jack-o-lanterns and scarecrows posted up in quaint suburban neighborhoods as I make my way around the city or the sound of crisp leaves crushing under my feet as I walk across sidewalks. It may quite possibly be…Continue reading Fall is Finally Here
Where it All Began
I remember those commercials like they appeared just yesterday. The little puke green and pale yellow bus would motor up to the little blond-haired boy’s front door and a ginormous goose…duck…well, some creature of the Aves species would come bouncing down the sidewalk brandishing a plastic bus-shaped carton.

Don’t Judge Me
The quote above serves to make light of an act that we all have been guilty of committing at one time or another—judging others.

Gratitude
Want to live a life unfulfilled and ladened with misery? Spend your days eyeing your friends’ worldly possessions, and that’s exactly what you shall receive. Obviously, the preceding question was one of indignity. However, you’d be surprised at the number of people who spend their days coveting the next person; from their cars and clothes…Continue reading Gratitude
Fail Better
Ever tried something new and failed miserably (raises hand)? I think we all have at some point. And if you have never failed at something, as the saying goes, you’re not doing anything worthwhile. Whether it’s trying a new diet at the start of the new year, then finding yourself sneaking powdered doughnuts into your…Continue reading Fail Better
I’m Engaged to a Married Man
I’m Engaged to a Married Man Scandalous! I thought, when an acquaintance of mine came to me with news that she was dating a married man. First, I asked if she was serious or if this was some kind of joke. “Dead serious,” she said. “Why?” I asked. “Cause all the good ones are taken,”…Continue reading I’m Engaged to a Married Man
