Someone told me once that I was a badass woman and I laughed. I mean...I guess I know what they were trying to say to me.

When did pleasure become a dirty word? If it feels good - don't do it? It's true that rampant, irresponsible chasing after sensory indulgence can be dangerous.

And sometimes it really is ok to say YES to things th...
