I’m learning more about the process.  Mostly we go about our lives letting our subconscious control us.  The subconscious is like a computer waiting for [...]

Subtraction Equals More

Necessity for the Mature Woman

Or on a Wild Hair

I was careful to use the term mature and not older.

When a woman reaches a certain age a good pair of tweezers is mandatory. I do want to stress a “good” pair. I have seen cheaply made ones. Those are definitely not worth the price. Mine are [...]
