Over the next two months, I plan on posting several gifting ideas - so we can all get ready for ... dum dum dum ... the holidays. This year, I took the handmade pledge for Christmas gifts (only buying or making gifts I give), and this is one I would do for someone I love in a heartbeat. Check it out.

Community Question: Shaving Cream and Manly Resistance
Every once in a while, I receive a question from a reader that I'm not sure I can thoroughly answer. When that happens, I want to turn to you - you with your wit and wisdom, to help out the reader, the crowd, and myself. This is one of those moments. Men. I don't get them. They'll eat two-week-old chicken fettuccine straight from the bowl in the refrigerator. They pick their toes unabashedly. They roll around in mud playing football and watch TV with their hands down their ... Continue Reading

#occupymystreet
Mine is a quiet revolution. As the world takes to the streets in defiance, I take to my life in peace. Mine is a quiet revolution. As the world has days of rage, so I have days of self-discovery. Mine is a quiet revolution. My revolution is one of remembering. Remembering that there is no us, and there is no them. There is no fight to be had, but within myself. And that the war waged is only for my own remembering. My own peace. My own wholeness. My own ... Continue Reading
