The pressure to have an opinion and to share it in new, cleverer and louder ways can be quickly exhausting. I find myself forgetting what I really care about, losing track of my own feelings, and becoming...

I get that it’s normal for guys to masturbate, but is it normal for him to be watching porn while he does it? Should I be worried? -Worried Wife

Dear Worried Wife,

“Intuitively, we know that the best stuff in life isn’t stuff at all, and that relationships, experiences and meaningful work are the staples of a happy life.” -Graham Hill

Last week on Mother’s Day when I was practicing with my new empty nest, I gave myself the long overdue gift of cleaning out my closet. I began early in the morning, optimistically believing I would be done by brunch when I was...

I am a bath addict. I have been known to change hotel rooms and even hotels, more than once so I can take a bath at the end of the day. For me there is no other way to wash away not just the dirt and grime of work and chores, but more deeply give myself the spiritual cleanse that comes with a long...

I met Dr. Jan Stafl not long after I moved to town 18 years ago.  Although he didn’t end up delivering my 4^thand last child, he was my medical back up and also the one who skillfully put me back together again after she was born.
