WOW! Thank you…
I’m not embarrassed to admit that sometimes it gets tough. I’m not one of those people who talks about how rosy it is all the time, intoxicated by the fumes of their own BS (yeah, we all know those types). No, I’m more of a truth-telling pragmatist, maybe a little too much, as pragmatism can [...]

Hi Rene: I’m 14-years-old and totally flat-chested! My mom tells me all the time, not to worry about it but I can’t help it. All the girls in my class have a little something up there, every, single one of them. I’m a runner and my mom says that is why I don’t have much [...]

Rene, HELP! I know you’ve written about this before and hope you will again. My daughter, Lucy, has a serious boyfriend, her first in fact. But unfortunately Kevin is one, bad apple. All he does is toy with her heart and feelings and use her. He’ll say things like, “I’m thinking maybe we can [...]
