10 Tips To Help You Find The Right Doctor
Lissa Rankin, January 5, 2012
You might have been raised to believe that doctors are gods and that you shouldn’t question us, but let me tell you the real truth, my loves. We docs are in the service industry - it’s our job to love, nurture, tend, and care for you, and if we’re not doing that the way you deserve, you should fire our sorry asses!

How to Tell the Difference Between Lust and Love
Guest Author, September 14, 2011
Adapted from Dr. Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness
As a psychiatrist, I’ve seen how intense sexual attraction is notorious for obliterating common sense and intuition in the most sensible people. Why? Lust is an altered state of consciousness programmed by the primal urge to procreate. Studies suggest that the brain in this phase is much like a brain on drugs. MRI scans illustrate that the same area lights up when an addict gets a fix of cocaine as when a person is experiencing the intense lust of physical attraction. Also in the early stage of a relationship, when the sex hormones are raging, lust is fueled by idealization and projection - you see what you hope someone will be or need them to be - rather than seeing the real person, flaws and all.

Happy Posse Party Saturday, all! Let's give a big welcome to Tricia Waltman, short time Pinkie, long time life enthusiast. Trish is the creator of See Your Vision Art Designs, a unique and artistic way to utilize the law of attraction in a physical sense. I hope you enjoy her spirit through her writings as much as I do. - Megan Monique
I just can't believe that after all this time -- 21 years of dating -- I have finally figured out the fundamental idea that we are all, basically, the same. My so-called selection process has been futile and judgmental, to say the least. I'm 39 and I have never been married, which also means that I have never been divorced... But what I feel it really says about me is that I have not been seeing my potential partners. I've had little to no tolerance for human flaws, physical imperfections, or mistakes made. Would I want someone to judge me so harshly? Am I infallible?

Self-Love in the Dressing Room (and Dating World)

Next week I’m going on a trip to Hawaii. My husband organized it for our 3rd wedding anniversary. When he told me, I felt ecstatic to be taking a week off to go on vacation. I am still ecstatic. But I also had the dreaded realization that I don’t have a bathing suit! In the past, I have found bathing suit shopping depressing. I’d rather go to the gym (which I avoid on a daily basis)!

The Messy Creation of My Owning Pink
I sit here thinking about writing for Owning Pink and how the stories posted here are usually written by, for and about women.
But it is not only women who lose their MOJO.
If I am going to write for Owning Pink, it’d be good to share how my world was recently unraveled and what Owning Pink really means to me.
My story begins with being unexpectedly divorced and being absolutely crushed by becoming a single daddy.

A Thanksgiving Blessing
Lissa Rankin, November 27, 2008
I always thought my father was simple. Not in the mentally-handicapped kind of way, but definitely not complicated like me. Sure, we had things in common. Like me, he went to medical school, completed a residency, and practiced as a physician, so I certainly didn’t consider him unintelligent.
