    20 for 20: People Magazine feature #6

    People Magazine Half Their Size X6 Wow! Every time I get an opportunity to be featured in People Magazine’s “Half Their Size” issues I’m astonished. I’m overwhelmed that my story is STILL relevant and timely and I’m also amazed that I always seem well prepared. What it’s taught me is that…

  • Crushing.

    My blood red fingertips, rosed cheeks and bare lips spy an object of attraction that all would like to feel. It’s a rare occurrence to spark temporary interest to a being that is unmovable. Warm is the feeling that is trapped somewhere in between liking and lusting, crushing is the…
