There were a ton of reasons running through my head as to why I shouldn’t participate in the Woman’s March in San Francisco. All of them about me in the moment and none about the big picture or my beliefs. The few hundred dollars income I would lose out of for not working that day, …

On this adventure to travel the world, I thought I had work and income all figured. Yeah right. The plan at first seemed so easy. I’d find remote marketing work in San Francisco and maybe even pick up some more writing if I decided that it wouldn’t mess with that passion too much. Finally diving …

A year ago today, I had a seizure. Slowly coming to as a couple of police officers with bad attitudes restrained me, it wasn’t until my friend’s boyfriend, who I like to think is also my pal, yelled at me about what had happened that I snapped back into reality. I still remember her terrified …

“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” Mark Twain As a “go big or go home” type of gal, this quote instantly gets my nipples hard.

My brother is a Marine Vet. It was the only time we have ever been close. I got to play Mama to him and four of his fellow servicemen during their enlistment. I tried to join the Air Force myself but was told I was too fat. It was before the wars, so I’d imagine …
I’ve lost the closeness of many of my most intimate relationships, if not breaking them all together. As I grow and become different, so do those connections. Will San Diego still be my home in a couple of years? Will these people still be my family? Will they even be friends? This has to be …
“Finally Normal People” It was a sign that instantly made me start to cry when seeing a woman holding it up at Burning Man. For me, it is just too true. If you’ve ever asked a Burner to describe Burning Man, you’re probably familiar with a look of confusion and panic. To chronicle such a …
