Tell the Truth. Tell the Truth. Tell the Truth.

(FYI, the headline is the Prologue to Eat, Pray, Love)
My girlfriends got together recently… ostensibly to talk shop but the conversation was quickly monopolized by another topic. No, it wasn’t sex! It started when one of the girls started in on a story, “You know how you tell yourself something to disguise what you are [...]

Here Is Where We Meet

John Berger’s book, which he calls “a fiction,” is practically unclassifiable. Which is apt, considering it challenges definitive boundaries unlike any book I’ve read.

This Is My Ball

As resident tomboy, Sporty Spice in the Clubhouse, I thought my first show-n-tell should be about what gives me game.

The Importance of Believing ‘Impossible Things’

“I can’t believe that!” said Alice.
“Can’t you?” the queen said in a pitying tone. “Try again, draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.”
Alice laughed. “There’s no use trying,” she said. “One can’t believe impossible things.”
“I dare say you haven’t had much practice,” said the queen. “When I was your age, I always did it [...]
