Too Many Ideas

This month, I have challenged myself to write a blog post everyday until my birthday. I thought two days ago that it would be difficult; especially since I was so tired I could barely keep myself awake. Today, however, my mind was flooded with ideas. The deluge didn't stop even when I was in the …

The Busty Blues

I know there are women who are jealous of my chest and openly wish they had my cleavage.  Men stare at it and other folks just wish I would cover up.  I have considered having a breast reduction for the better part of a decade. The attention they get is not always faltering or welcome. …
