Love Yourself Generously!
Today is Valentine’s Day and it has become a “Hallmark Holiday” that focuses on romance, hearts, chocolate and flowers. Love and romance are idealized in ways that some people experience and many don’t ~ and we can be swayed by all this messaging to think there’s something to strive for and then we’ll know true […]
The Planet Venus and You
The planet Venus symbolizes beauty, love, romance and sexuality. She is concerned with matters of the heart and body related to love. Venus travels across the sky and as she transits we experience the influence of her movements, sometimes subtly and sometimes more obviously. This month, January 2014, Venus is retrograde, which means she is […]
What does the T.S.A. have to do with Intimacy and Sexuality?
On Saturday I had an encounter with TSA on my way to catch a flight from Boston to San Francisco. It’s strange enough that travel these days involves disrobing and sometimes being patted down.

Today is November 1, El Dia de Los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. This morning at Boot Camp, I mentioned to my workout pal about this. She said, “What??!! A day of deals and miracles?” We laughed and decided that we like that idea. As the day has gone on this has stayed with […]

The breast cancer journey brings many twists, turns and surprises on the path. A big surprise is the impact on our sense of femininity and attractiveness, which naturally impacts intimacy and sexuality. How can that not happen? The balance of our emotions, thoughts and spirit greatly affect how we perceive our bodies. This is a […]
S ~ E ~ X is So Much More Than You Ever Thought!
You probably already know that breast cancer and treatment wreak havoc with your intimate and sexual life. Feeling feminine, attractive, desirable and sexy during and after treatments can seem like a lost cause, and maybe it’s the last thing on your mind. Many women say their sex life wasn’t so great before diagnosis and it […]
