One Less Lonely Girl
(Written sometime last year.)
Laying in the dark, I was asked a few questions about my cancer. How life threatening is this recurrence? Why am I deciding to refuse chemo?
I swallowed the tears in my throat and willed my voice to work. Saying I don’t want to lose my hair is something tangible. Something easier said than simply, how terrified I am. I don’t want to be the sick girl. Because...
Better Bad Decisions
2011 was the year of the bad decision.
Remember the time she text the man she wasn’t supposed to text, only to get no response….which then made her feel bad so she text the other man she wasn’t supposed to text…only to get a response and decide to come over? Bad decision. Or the time you cried when the man you were seeing told you he couldn’t see you anymore, and thought the best way to get...

Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex at three in the morning. Or make love at four in the afternoon. They might not sleep at all. Or they...

#RaaachemProblems
I perused the aisles of Whole Foods yesterday and within 5 minutes was having a full on conversation with the produce guy. 15 minutes later, another patron tried to talk to me because he “liked my eyes.” Before checking out, one of the other workers told me I was beautiful and while on my way to the car, someone had the balls to stop me to ask if I could take down his number. If you’re...
Final Notice
Throwin’ it back on a Thursday! Originally written 06.17.10.
The Devil’s in the details. ‘CHUCH.
It’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference. The hug from your son after a long day at work. The cupcake from your best friend “just because.” The compliment a stranger gives you on your new hair. The funny face he made at you that turns out to be the best part of your...
Honesty Begets Clarity
I recently had a conversation with somebody that I had been meaning to have. You know, the talk. THE talk. The talk to figure out what it is that you’re doing. The talk that induces cold sweats and stuttering from seemingly normal people. Yeah, that one.
Usually I’m the one talking. This is what I want to do and this is how I want to do it. This time was a little bit different, as I was...

Oh My. I would maybe sort of kind of give a reflection on the last year but I just don’t feel like it. The other day I wrote a FB status that kind of got some people up in arms about it. I said “If you’re a woman who lets the man you’re seeing pay for EVERYTHING, you’re simply prostituting yourself. Treat your man every once in awhile. He’s not the only one who’s gotta earn his keep!”

Ego is a motherfucker.
Any woman who tells you she doesn’t let her ego get in the way of her life is a lying sack of shit. It’s the little things that feed our ego, when the man you’re seeing texts you something sweet and unexpected at 1:35am on a Sunday. When he makes plans with you 3 days out of the week, and puts his arm around you when you’re not looking. It’s...

Gold Blooded
Ask me if I’m a football fan and I’m likely to say no. Although I will debate if Tebow or Brady will win next Sunday’s showdown, I probably won’t pay attention to the game. But one thing I am, and always have been is a 49er fan. Do I understand the game? Hell yes. Do I care who else clinches payoff berths? Not really. Can my sports post fare with those previously written by Mansa and...

I listened to my friends on internet radio last night, talk about all sorts of things from anal sex to the most public place they’ve ever done it. It was all fun and games until one of the show hosts asked a question I wasn’t prepared to hear the answer for.
“Do men ever outgrow the cheating?”
The consensus was a resounding NO. Sometimes men don’t even realize they’re doing it. Men will be...

A Message to Women From a Man: You Are Not "Crazy"
(I read this article the other day and thought it was important enough to share in it’s entirety. Thank you Alexis for sharing. Via The Current Conscience.)
You’re so sensitive. You’re so emotional. You’re defensive. You’re overreacting. Calm down. Relax. Stop freaking out! You’re crazy! I was just joking, don’t you have a sense of humor? You’re...
solo-me asked: The more I think about it, the fewer universal maxims there are for love; you have to find your own way. Just as in discussions of ethics, there are two primary questions; “why should we be ethical?” and, “what is it to be ethical?”. If you don’t feel love, (or affection or whatever), knowing how to express love will be of little use. -R.
Honestly
Falling out of love was one of the most honest things I’ve ever done in my life.
Leaving someone I still cared for was something that was foreign to me.
Discovering my own truths has been, in two words: growing pains.
Acknowledging my own faults has been humbling and empowering at the same time.
Realizing I can create my own future is downright scary.
Making the decision to remain open was...

This is not a love letter
This is not love letter. This is a letter about love. Actually, it’s an email between a friend and I about our idea of love. It’s lengthy, but take a minute to read about it. It’s interesting to see what people have to say about love, because it means different things to different people. To share these ideas, creates an understanding of the ideal, that some of us may not...

Cold Hands, Warm Heart
I am a hot sleeper. Heat emanates from my skin while I’m dreaming. This is an outside observation for me, something that a man I’ve once slept next to has told me on many occasions. The first time I slept next to him, he kicked off the blanket and said “I’m hot. That just means I have good circulation.” I chuckled, because I had secretly been sweating in my hair.
Subsequent sleep overs have...
Confessions of a Paranoid Traveler
Check out my latest post on Mixologi. Read the rest of the post HERE!
I’m secretly patting myself on the back for flying on a budget because $9 tickets from San Francisco to Las Vegas are absolutely unheard of. I’ve spent more money on a BART ticket, and I smile to myself, wondering how many of the passengers on my flight got lucky with the same deal. The smug feeling instantly dissipated...
