All You Need Is Love *
We’d rather be immortalized as heroes or villains in history than survive the daily mundane. Love makes us fools.

Once Upon Every Time
As I read a story about fairytale characters in New York, my childhood comes back to me. I remember why my fanciful notions were set that way. I’m angry.
Modern Lady of Traditional Build Meets Magic & Muggles
My latest fascination is for the Botswana of Mma.Precious Ramotswe. I’m talking about the main character of ‘The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency‘ and her world. There are those who write well, there are tales that make you think. Alexander McCall achieves both with his series about a proud African lady…
Manguide 3: Hobbies & Interests
From reading to music, travel to gaming, here’s presenting a Manguide on what makes their hobbies unique and how they can impact relationships.
In Love With Life
I’m reading The Bridge across forever. Books, just like people, some you ride along with for awhile, some you fall in love with the first time you meet and every meeting thereafter is a joy. And some, exactly like people, happen to you and life is like magic from then…

55-Words: Spooning
Sex in 55 words. Carrie Bradshaw: Just when I thought I couldn’t get any higher….he spooned me. I asked him, I know why I love spooning. It feels good to be held and cuddled. But what’s it for you? He said, It also feels good to hold and cuddle someone….

Unbearably Light Monday
I’ve discovered that the only way to survive Monday is to charge at it like you’re on a roller-coaster. Eyes closed, hurtle into it at top speed. It will be over before you know it and what’s more you may even have had fun. You can count the broken bones…
