Here’s what I so love about Oprah: In yesterday’s commencement speech to the Duke University Graduating class of 2009 (where her godson-William, son of Gayle King, was graduating, and where my husband’s and my earthly goddaughter, Aria, was, also), she spoke about the very things I do here on this site. And in the …
When she talked about her new lover, she always talked about sex. In fact, she always looked as if she’d just HAD sex. Flushed, beaming. So of course I figured she was incredibly happy. Are you incredibly happy? I asked, almost as a joke. “In bed, I am.” Not so happy out …
A friend points out that I omitted a whole section, in my last blog, about the possibility that it’s not YOU obsessing about the ghosts of girlfriends past, but the man you’re going out with himself. “Goddess, he won’t give her memory up. if he’s so focused on her, and wants to keep focusing on her, what …
Here’s what you know about her. She was gorgeous. Thin, long-legged, big-breasted; oh– and successful; and speaks four languages; and….blah blah. You are obsessed with her. With finding out more.

For one thing, America might get a new female Supreme Court Justice now that Justice David Souter is stepping down For another, Britain just appointed a female poet laureate after …
I know times are tough. I know everyone’s out of work. But we’re getting just too tough on our lovers. I’ve been hearing from men recently that the women they love are hurting their feelings. Not only about money (not making enough); not only about house work (not doing enough). But women whipping out the …
It’s a tough time for so many people, and not only economically. Love is so much harder in these hard times; our nerves are raw, our anxiety is up, our patience is down. I was thinking about this as I cleared my huge, celestial desk about an hour ago, after a sleepless night I can’t …

What on earth has happened to etiquette, down there? Whither kindness–and courage? I ask because two friends just, over the weekend, asked me the same question: “May I break up with a man by e-mail? ” No, dear friends of mine down on planet earth–you may not.

My dear earth sisters and daughters, it has come to my attention that there are too many–really, many too many–relationships that are leaving women drained, miserable and worried that they’ll never be in a good partnership, ever.
