Yeah, She’s Still Alive

I didn't actually disappear, folks. I've been busy bloggin' at The Information You Should've Had [now entitled Faithful Sex], working full time with my hypnosis and coaching clients, continuing my education, fostering my women's Facebook group, and basically tryin' to be a decent wonderwife and mom of many. Two Important Notes: (1) Since my domain…

The Fabulousness of Forty-something

I just turned two score and six years a few weeks back and lemme tell you, I'm not as upset as most Hollywood-types would have had me believe. In fact, I'm not bothered by it at all. Maybe it's because I was already braced for it, but I think that bein' closer to the Big Five-Oh…

When I was very young I would sometimes see and hear things that the grown-ups around me didn't seem to catch, and when I questioned them, I was routinely patted on the head and told that I had an…

Wordless Wednesday

Feast on This Friday: Fears & Phobias

  Fears. We all have 'em. Some of them are just practical nuisances but other can be completely life-altering. When I use the term "nuisances," I mean not being able to fall asleep until your feet are properly tucked under the covers, far from the prying hands of the mucussy goblins that live under your bed.…
