Top 10 Places I Want To Go
If money is no object and you can travel anywhere… What is your list of top 10 locations?
Be Careful What You Wish For
Is it love? Is it money? Is it just a day or two to yourself? Is it something harder to generalize, impossible to articulate, or too private to admit to? Do you have a foolish little dream – or a glitzy big one – something from childhood – shelved and dusted off, shelved again, only […]
Women on Top?
What’s your position? Women on top? A little variation and taking turns, or better yet – anything goes as long as the fit feels appropriate? Ah, but it isn’t so straightforward if you find yourself stuck in the middle – of middle management, that is. Especially if you’re trying to wriggle your way out, then […]
