It’s a time that has most of us practicing physical distancing to prevent the spread of a microscopic and dangerous foe – a coronavirus called COVID-19.
It’s taking a toll on many of us financially, emotionally, and physically. Continue reading It’s Still OK to Make Eye Contact During a Pandemic (video)
Transitioning can be a complicated, and very expensive, process. For those of us who transition later in life, the cost is often far greater – most definitely financially, but also socially. Relationships change, and some marriages don’t survive the change.

Do you think it’s more important to “dress age appropriate”, regardless? Or to dress appropriate to your body type and personal style? Check out my take on “dressing age appropriate” in this short 90-second video.
Most of us have to dress a certain way for career purposes, or appropriate to specific activities, and that’s not the question being asked. This is about social policing people based solely on their age, and the expectation that people of a certain age should dress a certain way, because of what decade in life they’re at, period.
What’s your take on things? Should we be consulting some kind of “style-by-number reference guide”, based on age?

My message is love
They say it’s best to avoid talking about religion and politics so as not to offend anyone. If I held my tongue every time there was potential for someone to find what I have to share offensive, I’d never speak publicly again. Having said that, it is my goal to offer useful information, insight and opinion in thoughtful, respectful ways least likely to be off-putting. When I get things wrong, I’m always grateful to be called on it. Feedback and criticism are welcome and appreciated. Some seek to shame and control people. My passion is to enlighten, inspire and empower, starting with you…

You may recall reports of Christian owned bakeries refusing service to gay and lesbian couples, citing religious beliefs. A few years ago, these reports were heavily debated in the news and social media. To some, the whole argument might seem trivial, I mean, why not just do business with another bakery, right?
