Loneliness: The word fills us with dread. I know people who go out on dates every night, just to be with someone, anyone-even though they hate dating and aren’t looking for a long-term love. I know people who stay in terrible relationships simply because they provide SOME interaction, albeit mostly negative interaction. We will …
Q. We used to talk; now, it feels like so much work on my part. Why? A. Alas, my dear earth lovers, commitment can be tough on conversation. “Did you get the car fixed?” replaces “I have this neat poem I read that I want to read to you,” and “What did you tell the …
Oh heaven’s, not again. “Wife Was Leaving Man Who Killed 5 Children,” the headline says. Yes, yes, that’s what it always says. The woman, after years of abuse, decides to get the hell out.

I woke up this morning and it was snowing–your Love Goddess is in Colorado, not in the heavens (although it is truly heavenly here). And I thought this was a perfect time to share a poem by Carbondale, Colorado poet Karen Jane Glenn. Karen, who has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and has read her work …
Q. I’m not getting married just yet, but I’m involved with a man who has expressed his desire for marriage. I’m not sure I can promise sexual exclusivity. What do I do? A. Say so, dearest lover. But first, find out whether he expects it. He may want his sexual freedom, too. This is …
I’m celebrating the completion of my 100th blog–and, since they all made it without a hitch from all the way up way up here in the heavens down to you, I have a treat for you. As you know, I’ve been sent to earth to encourage Love. Love among lovers, among friends, among family members. …
