St. Baldrick’s with Team Sean Kelly at R Public House
Team Sean Kelly and the Wave of Possibilities…. It is hard to believe that winter may actually be just a sweet memory and spring lays waiting for us to open the door and let her in. Since as far back as I can remember - the month of March always brought with it times of celebration and […]
Against All Odds - Living a Purposeful Life
“No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, and expands our souls…” […]
What You See Is What You Get…Sometimes
We think we know someone. We hear their words and watch them interact with others and we think we know them. Or really - the truth is - and more importantly to me - you think they know you. You are true - constant, honest, open and kind. You don’t keep secrets or play games […]
The Farther I Go – the Closer We Get
I can’t remember why I thought I needed some time to myself. It was not that I wanted time without her – that’s different – just time to myself. It would be good to get away – get lost inside my own head for the 6 hours it took to drive from here to there. […]

The Beat Goes On with L.A. Chandler
I met her couple of years ago outside of the infamous Parlour on Clark after an exceptionally amazing performance with Sean Wiggins. Chandler was funny, cool, easy going and I knew from the time she had ust spent behind those drums on stage – a very gifted musician. I ran into her again at Back Lot Bash this […]
Back Lot Bash celebrates 11 years
When I first began to walk down the streets of Lesbianville – I was searching the internet for anything I could find that had anything to do with groups of like minded women gathering in one place. I wanted to get out of the burbs and make myself some amazing memories in the city. And one day […]
Traditional Kind of Love
Guz Viewz – The perspective from our Senior Editor and word wrangler, Kathy Guzman. Just three days ago – in a once upon a time and oh so long ago place – I would have celebrated my 28th wedding anniversary with a man I had married when I was barely in my 20’s. We were […]
My Harley – Cure for These Chicago Winter Blues
This has been the winter to end all winters. Living in Chicago is such a blessing when the sun shines and the temperatures dance around the 75 degree mark. It is magical when the Cubbies play and Andersonville sidewalks flood with tank topped women and the street festivals pull one weekend into the next. I […]
