What’s Next…Again…and Again

I have worked since I was 15 years old. My first job was at a Jewish deli at the mall, and this is where I get my excellent sandwich making skills. It was fun, and like most, this was my first taste of financial freedom. For many years, my mom was a single parent so when it came to "stuff," we (my brother and I)…

Put Your Oxygen Mask Back On

When you lose someone close you to, it can often feel like someone has physically stolen your ability to breathe, eat, sleep -- to go on.

Threesome

Six years after my beloved husband’s sudden death, I finally found love again. I am deeply, madly, passionately, in love. It is wonderful. It is terrifying. It is crazy weird. Being in love with two men. I'm not into bigamy. I'm not even into threesomes. But really, truly …. that’s what this is. A threesome. But not the kinky kind. Not the sex kind that…

A Year of Grief, Part One

Part One: Just a year ago, I was editing a video for my best friend’s memorial service. It had been just a couple weeks after he died, but it was not real. For the rest of February and March, I was getting blackout drunk every night. Drinking my grief so I couldn’t feel him gone because I wanted to hold on. He was only 30…
