Valerie’s post on “The Power of the Period” has brought forth so many personal, funny, moving reader stories of the first time “Aunt Flo” came to visit. Reading them, I had a major flashback not to my first period, which didn’t come until I was 14, but to 6th grade sex ed class, which is…

‘K, so I’m sitting at my desk. I have a to-do list as long as a ZZ top beard. I have coffee, water, chocolate nearby. My computer and internet connection are fine. It’s quiet. And yet.

By
vreiss
In a recent email chat a friend mentioned his need to make pragmatic choices while being open to “the magic carpet ride” that is his life sometimes.
