    Is the Road to Mindfulness Paved with Sex? ***

    Reminder Note: the asterisks (***) means there will be sex talk. This is just a little reminder for my children that if they don’t want to read about mom’s sex life or her vagina, to skip this post. But it’s a universally useful rule for the rest of the world too.

    I Have No Niche
