Desires
Sister, Have you ever had a friend who could ask you the deepest, realest questions about your life’s work –– and have you laughing all the way through the answers? For me, that friend is Layla Martin. It has always been Layla Martin. Last month, I got to sit down in person with my beloved […]
I am 69 years old… Let that sink in, my love. The Queen of Pleasure has been on this earth for the past 69 years. Which means I’ve had a lifetime to study and practice the discipline of pleasure. And let me tell you, the results have been astonishing. (There was Regena before pleasure, and […]
My first love. I was 18. He, 20. I remember the day as if it had been branded into me: Amherst College, January, a hockey game. A few friends from Mount Holyoke (where I was a student), light snow, the quad. Guy Stevens – god, even his name sounded like a leading man – ran ahead […]
This time of year is so dense with feeling. If you love the deep, dark, rich range of human emotions – like I do – you are feasting right now. If the deep, dark, rich range of human emotions terrifies you – like it does me – you may feel somewhat tentative, somewhat overwhelmed, somewhat […]

Sugar gets demonized. Budgets are squeezed into spreadsheets. Everyone’s vowing to be better, neater, more disciplined, less human. But as we move into 2026, I’m […]
I want to introduce you to one of the most spectacular women I have ever encountered. A woman who creates in both the physical and ephemeral realms. A woman who not only knows how to make her own dreams come true, but actively supports the dreams of others.  A woman of remarkable courage who takes […]
It’s hard to see our beauty, sometimes. Impossible, at other times. But there are two things I know for sure: 1.  I have never met a woman who wasn’t beautiful. 2.  I have never met a woman who actually knew how beautiful she was. Because beauty isn’t about hip-to-waist-to-breast proportions. It’s not about facial symmetry […]
When was the last time you gave yourself a rest? A really, really, really good rest? And let every inch of your land lie fallow? Letting things lie fallow feels … biblical. We do not live in a world that honors stillness, a plot of land unseeded. We are all celebrated for how much we do and […]
