The short answer is YES! Especially when you are talking about the (mostly) DIY makeover remodel of the old house in Sonoma we just bought. The purchase didn’t go at all smoothly because the house had some serious issues. When we first took a look, we had no idea about its history… it was a […]

How to Be a Happily Single Lesbian
This question seems ultra-relevant, given our tremendous focus on how to find and keep a mate. Research indicates at least 50% of lesbians over the age of 50 are single, so are they all unhappy?

A Most Unlikely Lesbian Mother
When I grew up in the 60's as a rough-and-tumble tomboy, I used to fantasize that I still had a choice as to whether I would grow up to be male or female.

Lesbian Dating: EQ and Self-Regulation
“Self-regulation†often has a negative connotation. We think it means acting nice and controlled, keeping ourselves under wraps, not letting our real feelings show.
