I started a 30-day “woman fast” 7 days ago. Scoff if you must. “Wow, 30 full days,” you say sarcastically as your eyes roll and your empathy shrivels. But this is what it means: no dates, no sex, no actual flirting, no making out, no strategic loitering in the yogurt aisle or after yoga class,
Yesterday, I launched my new website and started giving away free an intensely revealing Chapter 1 of my coming book, Tell The Truth, Let The Peace Fall Where It May. Yes, I’m nervous about it, a bit scared even. What will you think of me when you read it? What I hope is that it
