Thoughts, inspiration, balance… and randomness
A few weeks back, I wrote about house hunting. About Finding the One. I have now put in my fourth offer on a place and I seriously feel like I've hired Patty Stanger the matchmaker, as if I'm trying to find my husband. Here's how it goes down: Matchmaker: I think I've found a few … Continue reading The Dating Game
What is it "they" say? ... something like, "I don't regret anything, it made me who I am today." Right?? Sounds like hooey. Something some fake person made up whose regrets were like blips on life's radar. "I regret picking the blue sweater instead of the red one!!!" Boo. What's funny about it is... dammit, … Continue reading Regret-Me-Not
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt Today I went to a birthday party for a friend of mine. And I just adore her. No offense to my other friend-moms out there, but there are three friends of mine who I think are the most balanced, coolest moms … Continue reading Be Afraid. Be Very, Very Afraid – Or Not.
No, no. Not Bikram. Yeecccchhhhhh. I hope I didn't offend you Bikram diehards out there. It's just not for me.

"I'd like a medium, with cheese, and fries please," I told the kid at the front register. I am normally pretty darn close to "very healthy and organic". I have no meat or dairy in my house, I try to make healthy choices when I am on my own, I go to yoga. But this … Continue reading Is it Just Me? Actually, yes.
She was apprehensive as she walked toward the school entrance. The nervousness seemed to multiply with every cautious step. Around her were other people, huddled in small groups, whispering, looking at her. Nothing like being the new girl on the first day of school, she sighed. She could feel their eyes working their way up … Continue reading Bulls on Parade

I went out with a guy friend once who said to me, "This is why you are single. You claim you want a guy to take care of you, yet you are way too independent and don't want to take care of the guy." Ok, back it on up herrrre. Yes, I am strong-willed. Yes, … Continue reading Um, I Still Like Being the Girl
I spent an afternoon talking with my friends yesterday about yoga and yoga retreats. They seem to think there's a pattern emerging among unhappy, lost, insecure, thirty-something women in Lululemon pants all gravitating toward yoga and yoga retreats.
