divorced mom time alone  Another ‘First’ – A BIG Stretch of Time Without Kids

This here divorced mom is sitting here wearing her SuperGirl jammies, with freshly painted toenails and a white skin mask on. Yes, I’m having an evening of self-pampering.  But tonight feels different than other ‘grooming’  nights – it’s the kick-off to my 10-day ‘vacation’ without my three kids. This is the first time since I had kids, [...]

single man meets kids1  BIG STEP:Introducing A New Man to the Kids

I introduced him to my children.  Not as my partner.  Not as a close friend.  But as a ‘friend of a friend’ who needed a place to stay as he passed through town. This was a big step for me.  I’ve never done this before – never even considered it in the two years I’ve [...]

He was sooooo nice.  So very, very nice.  Well-spoken… mature… a fun personality.  And I really did enjoy talking to him.  But I felt no spark;  I just wasn’t attracted to him.  Not just physically, but energetically.

G spot orgasm divorce  Good-bye Husband, Hello G-SPOT!

By the end of her marriage, she’d given up trying to have a G-spot orgasm; she thought maybe anatomically she wasn’t capable of one.  But one night post divorce, that G-bomb came out of nowhere: KA-POWEE.  It was a back-arching, sould-screaming, ‘Hallelujah!’   Afterwards however, she was freaked out – AND embarrassed.  Cause it happened [...]
