I tend to be fairly persnickety about hygiene, not OCD but definitely on the clean side of the fence. So when I found myself stuck, trying to think about the unhygienic behaviors that make me shiver I was surprised by my general tolerance level. Until I reached out to the brilliance of the facebook world…
I was recently having drinks with a friend who also has a teenage daughter, and at some point the conversation turned to their impending sexual activity. We are adult women, ostensibly able to explore and reflect on our own sexuality and we both got visibly nervous when talking about the lessons that have to be…
I am by trade an attorney. My first job out of law school was with a tiny firm where I was thrown into the deep end of the pool as soon as I passed the bar. As a result I got a huge amount of great experience as a very young attorney. One of the…
Last week I believe I actually started on a path that is my path to recovery. For nearly 37 years I had no idea that I was injured in the way that I am, or that my life looked like what it really seems to. In this moment I feel like I am Alice stepping…

This is a part of the Dirty-Thirties series that I thought I would share here as well – have been thinking a lot about camping as the summer winds down and as my husband starts planning our return to the great outdoors next summer – Enjoy! Dirty Camping: Camping is dirty. I am in my…
I have been to three of the Hawaiian Islands and this was my first visit to Kauai, the “Garden Island.” Despite the moniker I was initially a little surprised by the lack of verdant landscape though we started our two week visit on the drier side of the island. That said, the island is beautiful;…
Visited in early July 2010 after having purchased the stay through Hotwire. This was completely accidental as we thought we would be staying at he Sheraton based on the Hotwire provided resort/hotel description and the location. We were however very pleasantly surprised by the purchase and even happier when we arrived at the resort. Less…
