Attention: The New Currency - Good Clean Love

Attention: The New Currency

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” Simone Weil

I am a daily meditator, which is another way of saying that I work with my own attention every day. As anyone who has ever tried to sit in quiet will attest, for as many days as I get to fall back into a deep pulsing vibration of stillness, there are the minutes of watching my mind flit from one thing to the next, repeating old...

Introducing Make It Good - Good Clean Love

Introducing Make It Good

The older I get, the more I appreciate how long it truly takes to be able to understand, articulate and define what we know. Partly this is because what we know is continuously evolving as we grow. The deep wisdom of aging doesn’t come from what we know nearly as much as it does from witnessing all that we haven’t been able to see and that we may well never know.

Slow Sex Book: Enhance Intimacy & Bridge the Orgasm Gap

Reading a slow sex book can offer valuable relationship advice on how to enhance intimate relationships by taking things at a more mindful pace.

Cleaning Up My Act: Parabens, Lush, and Living a Preventative Lifestyle

Since I started working at Good Clean Love, I’ve grown more conscious of what I use on and put inside my body.

Every day we are exposed to hundreds, if not thousands, of chemicals. Between my shampoo, lotion, makeup, and toiletries, there is no way I could keep track of them all. That’s normal, and I assumed others would do the heavy work for me (the FDA, for example).

Multisensory Sensual Experiences: Savor Intimacy Mindfully

"We think fast food is equivalent to pornography, nutritionally speaking. "-Steve ElberAs a culture, our diet often suffers from the overwhelming demands of schedule and time constraints; we pick up food on the run and call it a meal. Even when we take the time to prepare a meal at home, we often eat it in front of a screen, eating quickly and mindlessly. Taking the time to taste our food is a luxury many of us don't know we are missing.

Remembering Our Breasts

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
