My New Mantra: “No Big Deal”

  Over Thanksgiving, while waiting for lights to turn green, I read an article by one of my good friends, Ari Moshe Wolfe, an evolutionary astrologist and intuitive guide. Though I usually find his writings profound, this particular one (read article here) struck me deeper than usual . The message, NBD: It’s No Big Deal. I’m what we might…

Making Magic at the Bank (of course this story involves a woman)

  Don’t worry… I didn’t rob it. But I did break an old pattern today. Usually, when I cross paths with a beautiful woman, who happens to be a complete stranger, I don’t know what to say. On a good day, I’ll smile and say, “hey,” and then quickly go back to staring at my…

The Woman Who Wasn’t Afraid of Punctuation

  I’ve always wanted to date a French woman. The accent… I can just stop there, right?   Well, today was my lucky day. Her hair was thick and wavy, and black, like fertile soil. With big, blue eyes and the long, elegant fingers of a pianist, or perhaps a cello player. It was a…

I would literally think, Why is she…

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:…

It Wasn’t a Date

  This time… it wasn’t a date. You remember her. The younger woman I met at a party. The do-I, don’t-I moment about shaving the grays in my beard. The I-wasn’t-even-born-yet during Hurricane Andrew girl. Yes, her. That was almost two months ago. An eternity ago. Since then, she and I have become friends. You know, we talk on the phone, text,…

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…
