Unanticipated pleasure
Last evening, for three hours, I hovered in the pleasure zone, my brain and body exquisitely in sync. This was delight the likes of which I haven’t felt in six months, or perhaps as long as a year. The kind of pleasure, intense and pervasive, that obliterates worry and fatigue as all the universe [...]

Heidi Montag – typical American girl?
Anything to be famous? To be a pop star? I don’t buy it. Heidi Montag, a (previously) beautiful 23-year old reality TV star on The Hills, now “improved” by 10 cosmetic surgery procedures.
Is this what our culture is becoming? A 23-year old who is (was?) lovely, who undergoes 10 [...]

Wake up and run
Alarm clock, hand slapping the buzzer. Rolling out of bed with a groan. Staggering to the bathroom. Staring into the mirror, then teeth, face, shuffling to the kitchen to switch on Mr. Coffee, then back to the bedroom. Blinking at the time, yes, a run is possible, no, a run will have [...]

What if I had said “I love you” back, and just accepted his conditions? What if I had worked slower, and produced a more average result that didn’t threaten my boss? What if I’d moved to a different part of the state after my divorce? What if I’d pulled my tiny nest egg out of [...]

The dating pool
I’ve been a single woman for a long time, dipping in and out of the dating pool for the better part of a decade. It was a slow re-entry, wading into the shallow end, then descending into the depths when I was ready.

Well-being at any age? Certainly! And I was going to grab my opportunity while I had it; quiet time is a rarity on my crazy little planet. More so this summer. Twenty minutes to myself – extraordinary! How would I take advantage? A hot interlude in the late afternoon sun, on the little deck overlooking [...]

“Chien plane complètement… les yeux vitreux… après avoir dévoré du cannabis,” selon son propriétaire.
“Dog completely stoned… eyes glazed over… after devouring cannabis,” according to his owner.
These were the headlines that greeted me when I opened my home page this morning. Yes, a French home page. And why not? If I can’t have a home in [...]

Does customer service still matter in a down economy? You bet it does.
I may love to wander the aisles of Whole Foods – gaze at the gorgeous flowers, the succulent fruits, the arrays of fresh vegetables in vibrant colors. But regular fare is a matter of Safeway, Kroger, or Publix – shopping according to a [...]
