    Flying Underwear: A Lesson in Respect

    May 2, 2025 /

    In 36 years of marriage, I can count on one hand the number of fights my husband and I have had. Yet, two of those were sparked by my attempts to organize him. Early in our marriage, the clutter of papers scattered around our small living spaces began to irk me. I’m not Mrs. Fastidious, but the mess bugged me. Bobby, my husband, didn’t have an office back then and often worked from a corner of our living room. We disagreed over the value of form versus function—he saw empty flat surfaces as storage spaces, while I envisioned them adorned sparingly with pretty decor. To give you a bit more…

    Sustain a Marriage With Forgiveness

    December 21, 2022 /

    I read an article recently called “Why We Need Moments of Mad Thinking.” In it, the author contends, “We banish a great many thoughts from our minds on the grounds that they are, as we put it, ‘mad’.  Some of them evidently are: too mean, flawed, absurd or petty to deserve further exploration. But it’s one of the tragedies of our thinking lives that, amidst the detritus of dismissed thoughts, there are invariably a great many that could have been of high value, if only we had dared to examine them further, if only we hadn’t been so scared of their less conventional and more speculative dimensions, if only we…

    How To Stop Feeling Anxious Fast

    April 11, 2022 /

    It was April 2020, and my husband and I followed our usual morning routine of eating breakfast, watching the news, and getting ready for work. Suddenly, I started feeling sick; I was dizzy and breathing hard. I was just overwhelmed with anxiety. The news endlessly talked of the new virus and the number of cases and deaths. I was worried about my aging and vulnerable parents. On top of that, I was a key player on an important project at work, and a leader a ka-jillion levels above me had looked me in the eye the previous day and told me not to $#*& it up. I’m accustomed to pressure,…

    Why Should I Care About Kim and Kanye’s Story?

    February 28, 2022 /

    Please see the update at the bottom of the article. So, my publicist said that I should write about the current situation between almost-divorced Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Mentally, I facepalmed. I’m on a strict gossip diet. Like, if gossip were food, my body fat percentage would be 4%. (Oh, if only gossip were food.) Why should I care about Kim and Kanye’s story? But she knows me, and I trust her. So, I started reading, and believe me; I had to do a lot of reading to get caught up. I get it now. Now, I don’t know the details of what’s happening. Most of what gossip mags…
