Over the past seven months, an ex-lover and still close friend of mine has spiraled downward into the abyss of addiction with no desire to change her behavior, and ultimately, I came to the difficult conclusion that I needed to let her go and make my peace with it.

Yet somehow… my eyes are dry, my pulse steady, my mind at ease.Denial is the first stage…See More

Funny Women

I want to encourage women to submit to humor venues. I urge you; I implore you. Let’s start a revolution and change the world’s mind about who’s funny. Your heart will swell with accomplishment and your breasts will become larger. This I promise.
