Despite my admissions that I hate people invading my personal space, and would rather snap kick a stranger than be hugged by one, there’s no denying the power of touch. One of the most challenging and moving books I’ve ever read is There Are No…

Today: Derby de mayo.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Between the Kentucky Derby and el cinco de mayo, today was destined to be a day for celebrating. I wouldn’t mind having a mint julep in one hand and margarita in the other, but then again, I’d like to be somewhat productive today.…

Today: Yes, you May.

Today: Will you be my Bobby Valentine?
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I had my heart set on not falling for the Red Sox again this season. Last September’s unraveling just about did me in. All that chicken, beer, finger pointing and whining (especially the whining)? Over it. As I drove home earlier this week,…

Today: A touchy subject.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I am a boundaries person. I think I always have been. If I could walk around life with a hula hoop about my body, keeping people out of my personal space bubble without being hauled off to some sort of facility, I would.…
