After an evening out with my girlfriends, I entered the freeway heading home. There was my ex-boyfriend on the billboard advertising himself (he's an attorney here). I've seen his billboards around town, and never paid much attention to them, but tonight he just stood out. Not even 5

Yesterday I had dinner with a girlfriend who got hurt in love several years ago, and she swears that she'll never hurt like that again and she won't allow herself to get that close to anyone still. This evening I had drinks with a new girlfriend, who at 32 has never had a great love. She

Can you guess how old the woman right beside me is (second one from the right)? She is 47 years old. She looks like she is still in her twenties. I couldn't believe it when I saw her last year; she looked ten years younger than when I saw her last, which was one year prior. I begged her to te

We've all had them. You do something so stupid you just want to go hide under a rock... for a gazillion years... "So when are you expecting", I once asked a bank teller. "I'm not pregnant!" was the answer. Go hide under a rock moment... "Your mother is so lovely", I once complimented a man.

Both of my children were "surprises". They are still surprising me with the breadth of feelings they engender in me. Without a doubt, they have made me a better human being. They are both the Sun my Earth orbits around AND the nucleus of my being. The experience of being a mother has been bo
