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. …

The Tree of Liberty

Thomas Jefferson, the third president of United States of America, is quoted as saying that "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Emotional Roller Coaster…

This past month and a half has been an emotional roller coaster.  I would really like to get off now, kiss the ground and thank the heavens.  I don't like them to begin since I tend to get motion sick. Emotional motion sickness is even worse. True story as a my honey would say. This …

Dancing My Way Back to Myself

When I was a wee rose bud, I wanted to be a dancer. It didn't matter what kind; I just wanted to move to music. It also didn’t matter what the music was so long as there was rhythm to it.  Momma taught the jitterbug and the twist in the living room to all of us.  It was …

It's nearly noon and looking at my pedometer, I am more than 8,000 steps away from that goal. The first day with it, I didn't do very well; only 1,700 steps recorded. Of course, I left the darn thing at home while I ran errands. Today, I put it on right after my second cup …

For the last week or so, my fellow teaching diva, Lisa, as been bugging me to go out with a friend of her's; a nice young man just looking to go out and have some fun.  On the surface, it is what I am looking for, but I am not ready.. not ready to open …

Dusk and Summer – A Review

It has been a long time since a book has held me captive, curled and cuddled beneath my covers until its pages were through with my mind.  Dusk and Summer by Joesph A. Pinto kept me prisoner this afternoon while I hungrily devoured every last sentence down to the final period. The novella published by …
