FRIDAY STORYTIME: THE SEXUAL CONUNDRUM
My audio notes are a way for me to share my inner thoughts with you. I treasure that. Recently, I had the opportunity to hang out with an old friend. He’s a casual friend who once had benefits with me. I have always struggled to keep it platonic as he is a man of great persistence. I don’t find it offensive because ultimately, I understand. After dinner, we went back to his house. I knew he was going to ask again. We kissed. It took me a moment, but I realized that sexual mechanics and the magic of great sex do exist independently of one another. Listen to learn more…

LOVE & LOGIC – THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.” Paulo Coehlo It is to be said that the heart, if you listen closely, will always give you the answers to life. The questions that we ponder, that we cant surmise from logic and so let slip from our mental grasp, our heart is the oracle. Love & Logic. The Theory of Everything.

There in my tiny Upper East Side bedroom, I was transported to that day. The exquisite hope chest he had hand carved that would hold our precious memories, as we embarked on a new life together filled with hope and promise. Twenty years late…

PETITE FRIDAY INSIGHTS: GREAT EXPECTATIONS
The big “E.” We all have them even if we don’t want to admit we do. In committed romantic relationships, they are expected but what about friendships or the beginnings of building rapport and connection? This topic isn’t sexy but I think we all have situations in our lives where expectations were Mrs Peacock in the library with the candlestick.

THE LOST ROMANCE OF THE LETTER
Every Christmas, I look forward to one gift – my father’s handwritten letter on nothing-special paper, that peeps out of my stocking on December 25. It is so special that I don’t even read them. There is such great potency in my father’s words, though they are few. They always make me cry. The Jane Eyre Effect. In any important relationship that I have ever had, the handwritten letter was a significant form of communication. There is something about the sincerity of the written word, pen to paper that sets a man apart from the boys. It’s the extra effort and time, or perhaps are card chosen just for…
