End the fairy tale fantasy

end the fairy tale fantasy
A little while back, I met someone. Online of all places. Despite my jaded view of internet dating, this summer while my son was at camp, I met a woman I liked. A lot. Not because she was hot, which she was, but because when we looked at each other, when we kissed, there was something…electric. Special. In the years since my divorce, I haven’t felt like this before. Read more

Does this scenario sound familiar to you? You met a guy. Seems like a great guy. You get to know each other a bit. You start having sex. Things are going really, really well.

Make changes to take action in your life

September always feels like such a wonderful month to me. It ushers in a change of season from summer to autumn, retailers begin delivering fall clothing and for me personally, it signifies another birthday that is rapidly on it’s way. Today I celebrate my 37th birthday. Though it’s not as significant its predecessors sixteen, twenty-one or even thirty, it still resonates with just as much excitement as the rest. You see to me, birthdays are not about age or wrinkles, they are more about wisdom and how one has grown. For as long as I can remember, I usually spend the day before my birthday looking back and reflecting on what I have learned and how I can better myself as I go forward. In that continued tradition, I have looked no further than my own backyard to set up camp. Today I am on the rooftop of the London Hotel, arguably one of the best views in the city. At sunset, this easily becomes one of the most romantic places in West Hollywood. Definitely remember this as a perfect date spot! In order to get into the writing mood, I need two things: a good scenic view and a cocktail. Today, courtesy of the London, I am sipping on a “Ginger Blossom” while I take in a near perfect 75-degree sunset. Juices are now flowing. Read more
