I’m a Pear

I am pear shaped. You’re welcome. All that means is that my top half is smaller than my bottom half. Or my bottom half is bigger than it should be. Or I should only eat for 4 hours a day and not the other 20 in order to be… a different fruit shape? It’s theContinue reading “I’m a Pear”

Food and Sex

This is an unapologetic post, and no it isn’t a “how to use frozen cherries on your lover’s nipples” post… so either free your minds or brace yourselves.

Life Enthusiasm

I am a self-proclaimed Life Enthusiast, so I’ve been thinking about how to define that. Presumably it means different things to different people. We all have our own lives and stories, after all. We have different values, and what is important to me might not make sense to you. Other than the details, I thinkContinue reading “Life Enthusiasm”
