How to ask for the love you need
I recently did something that I thought would be silly, or selfish, or outlandish. I wrote a manual on how to love me.

The healing power of non-monogamy
In March 2018 I left an abusive marriage and entered into a new phase of life: the casually slutty phase. My dating app profile included the line, “I am dedicating 2018 to non-monogamous exploration.” I had my first one time hookups, met my first friend with benefits, and soon met my first long-term partner after … Continue reading The healing power of non-monogamy

A Minimalist Approach to Handling Credit Like a Boss
What? A blog about credit? It's true. I am no longer the die-hard "never ever ever ever ever use credit ever ever" person I once was.

A Surprising Number of Things Elton John and I Have in Common
When I saw the trailer for Rocketman, I instantly knew I’d see the movie when it hit theaters.

Our soundtrack, more often than not, was Elton John’s Greatest … Continue reading A Surprising Number of Things Elton John and I Have in Common
