I’m lucky to be smart, to have an astonishingly good memory. Or maybe I’m lucky to be bipolar.

Sleep is everything! It's so much more than just feeling like you can function well. You know that but do you know how to sleep for your dosha type?

In honor of World Bipolar Day, I present a sample stream of consciousness based on my experiences living with this disorder.

When I heard about accusations that Lena sexually abused her sister, I was astonished. And my visceral emotional reaction prompted powerful questions.

Actually, no, I'm not a gluttonous moron.

4. A high school government class.

I want my kids to have an understanding of the truth of sex, the ins, the outs, the details no one wants to ask anyone—least of all their mom.

Being vulnerable, being seen (even lumpy and naked), admitting weakness, asking for help — these acts inspire and edify.

...I’m going to help you! By “help” I mean “tell you all the things that didn’t work.”
