Hester Prynne Alphabet
Like a letterman’s jacket, our D letter is not meant to be worn season after season like a classic Prada purse, but rather, it’s meant to be put away once we’ve outgrown the season and we’ve moved on. We can’t clutch that letter forever—our hurt matters, but we have to let go and allow ourselves…

Having a Nemesis
If it were a Hollywood movie, we’d then join forces to make the X’s life even more miserable…..teach him a lesson or two about life…..and then all leave better people with a post-credit scene of us eating shawarma together…

Let’s Talk about Sex, Baby
Sex….it’s the elephant in the room when you are a single woman. You can talk about it ad nauseam in some circles and not at all in other circles. Many times our conversations about sex are transactional: they want it too much, they don’t want it enough, techniques, quality, quantity…but we rarely talk about the…
