CLIENT BAD BEHAVIORS: MR. BUGS BUNNY
Bugs Bunny LOVED his carrots. He enjoy flaunting them too. I was compelled to write about a common client behavior because of a tweet. A fellow companion mentioned how some clients love to over promise and then under deliver. This isn’t a good business practice as anyone who is in business will tell you. Listen in to hear more about this phenomenon in the client/companion relationship. While I don’t think it is ever done with malicious intent, I also think that the client/provider relationship can create a lot of Bugs Bunnies. Personally, I love a client who with his actions and never his words, completely surprises and delights. Listen in…

ARE WE IN A SEXUAL RECESSION?
Recently I listened to the Impact Theory podcast. The guest was Sex Therapist Emily Morse. What was immediately apparent, is the significance of non-sexual points, like balancing your identity that seem to be the catalyst for why sex, or intimacy for that matter, has found its way to the bottom of the proverbial “to do” list. Basically, the more confident and centered you are within yourself, the better you can relate in connection with others. That’s obvious though, right? And yet, perhaps in a social-media, stuck-to-our-phones world, it’s not. Sure we smart enough to recognize this but maybe just too lazy to change. We should let the power of touch…

BREAKING BREAD – A NEW CHAPTER
Four days into my moving to a new city, I reconnected with an awesome, talented gentleman over dinner in Cambridge. It was my first date since my move to the Boston area on March 1. Intimacy takes time and yes, practice. In my case, I’ve been practicing for the last 12 years. I think sometimes you are Now I am living in a new city and getting to know it – the good, bad and ugly. What is Interesting About a Man. It’s no secret that I love men. I appreciate them and enjoy learning their secrets, vulnerabilities and what makes them special. Some are in my life for many,…

The Letter
I was going through my desk drawer the other day and found a letter from my ex-husband. It was a letter he wrote me when he made me my Hope Chest. His engagement gift to me. I love a man who can work with his hands. Our divorce was two decades ago but his words aged beautifully. Imagine an electrical engineer who can write like Shakespeare. 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.

THROWBACK THURSDAY STORY TIME: A PICTURE WITH SO MANY WORDS
As the holidays wind down and life goes back to normal, I found a photo of me from December 2013, covered in Christmas lights. In the corner of the photo were our terms of endearment for each other, “RKPet by JSquare.” I was his pet. We started as client/companion and eventually became lovers. My lover/play partner, and former client, was so good at capturing a moment and all of the emotion that went along with it. A wild weekend in SLC with a 15-year-old Chilean Cabernet from the Winemaker’s private cellar, and some serious playtime. Clairvoyance of the Heart. I still remember our first dinner that weekend. He was in…

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…
