“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.” ~Rosalind Russell
I love the day that I get my hair done. I have long been a fan of hair color; ever since mine started turning grey while my youngest daughter was still in preschool. I still am not sure how old I will be when I give up this trick on nature and bear witness to how grey I am. Everyone assures me it is still too soon. Besides...
“Love is a fabric which never fades, no matter how often it is washed in the water of adversity and grief.” -Unknown
Our relationships are truly the fabric of our lives. Living in a big family with so many people in the process of individuating can make for a compelling laboratory. It is rarely dull, although not frequently full of drama. The one rule that I have imposed relentlessly on my...
“Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o’er-fraught heart and bids it break. “ ~William Shakespeare
Shakespeare himself would be overcome by the enormity of the tragedy that Polandfaces today. Within hours, the brightest minds and most committed public servants, along with the ranks of the Polish courageous past leaders perished at once in a burst of flame over the very...
“All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else.” -Buddha

“Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.” ~Rossiter Worthington Raymond
I stood at the grave site of Lilly’s father today. I had only met him once when we looked at the life stories of eleven-year-olds filling the gymnasium of the middle school where our daughters are good friends. We marveled at how the children...
The question of whether intimacy and love-making should be spontaneous or planned is one that gets between many couples. There are two issues in question here and it is important to tease them apart if you are going to make sense of either.
“Passion is the quickest to develop and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still.” — Robert Sternberg

“The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom…for we never know what is enough until we know what is more than enough.” -William Blake
Today I took delivery of 4000 lbs of personal lubricant. It was the largest single delivery ever made to my business and the biggest bet I have ever made on my potential success. Betting on myself is getting easier and easier since I have started the...
“For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of our tasks; the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.” -Rainer Maria Rilke
The relationship lessons in our life don’t change much over time. Even as I grow and mature, the places that break down in our relationships only seem to become more familiar to me. The...

“Some people confuse acceptance with apathy, but there’s all the difference in the world. Apathy fails to distinguish between what can and what cannot be helped; acceptance makes that distinction. Apathy paralyzes the will-to-action; acceptance frees it by relieving it of impossible burdens.” -Arthur Gordon
My contractor, Robert showed up to build the shelves we had planned out yesterday. He...
“The truth is balance. However the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.” -Susan Sontag
The word hormone comes from the Greek word ( ὁρμή ) which means “impetus”. The chemistry that we often walk around taking for granted is actually the impetus for most, if not all, of our daily functioning. Let me elaborate- our hormones control our growth and development, our metabolism,...
“Love is an act of endless forgiveness.”
– Peter Ustinov
A lot of people struggle with the idea of resurrection. The literal religious telling of a man overcoming death, of his coming back amongst the living for 40 days to teach the most esoteric and divine lessons of his life is hard to grasp for many. It is the tale that divides the believers and non-believers most passionately. In fact,...
