It is true that I don’t write about my children or my relationship with them very much at all. I sometimes [...]

Lately I’ve been on a happiness kick. I’ve been going over various projects, activities, and aspects of my lifestyle and asking myself, Does this really make me happy?

How do you create a heart-centered connection with someone close to you? I think the best way to do it is to let the other person see you naked.
