I Surrender

  Whence last we met, I was talking about my messy, non-linear life. About the value of not waiting–but being in the thick of things. Surrendering completely to what is, and dropping the fear that if we don’t prepare for after, well, we won’t be prepared and our lives will go to shit. Most of us don’t live like…

Tough Conversations You Won’t Have with Your Partner

I understand why you don’t want to talk about it. I mean, your relationship is going “fine.” It’s been the best relationship you’ve had in a long time–maybe forever. Why rock the boat? But… if you really get quiet, you can hear the echo of doubt lingering deep in the unexplored caverns of your subconscious:…

I Should Have Been a Shepherd

  I don’t have many regrets in life, but here’s one. By an exceedingly strange set of circumstances (you’ll have to trust me on this one–or take me out to dinner and get me to divulge the full story), I met a woman one night in Israel that made my heart skip many a beat. Her name was…

Why Women Lie

  Yesterday, I wrote about reasons why men lie. But there is a major difference between how men and women lie. Men lie to women. Women lie to themselves. Men lie for loads of reasons: not wanting to deal with your drama over a no biggie our backs are to the wall and all known escape routes…

Why Men Lie

I recently wrote a post about cheating. I said that my future partner would never cheat on me because our relationship was going to be based on honesty. Blah, blah, blah. Super cheesy. But that was just the beginning of my thoughts on the topic. It’s not that my future partner isn’t going to cheat on me. It’s…

My Dating Faux Pas

So. You’re out on a date–err, I am–and you know she’s younger, but… hey, it’s South Florida, so who cares, right? Age difference, shmage difference. Actually, it starts before the date. I grayed early in life, most notably my eyebrows and stache. I typically keep a goatee of sorts; my version is a light stache…
