The Female Brain
Louann Brizendine's book, The Female Brain, is bloody brilliant!
Powerful insight written in clear, precise prose, she lays out the key
stages of life in eight juicy chapters.
Here are a few book excerpts:

What Makes Us Women
“If a woman’s reality could change radically from week to week, the same would have to be true of the massive hormonal changes that occur throughout a woman’s life.”


“...The female brain is so deeply affected by hormones that their influence can be said to create a woman’s reality. They can shape a woman’s values and desires, and tell her, day to day, what’s important. Their presence is felt at every stage of life, right from birth. Each hormone state -- girlhood, the adolescent years, the dating years, motherhood, and menopause -- acts as fertilizer for different neurological conceptions that are responsible for new thoughts, emotions, and interests.”

Sex: The Brain Below the Belt
“It’s a delicate system, but the connection to the brain is about as direct as it gets. Nerves in the tip of the clitoris communicate straight to the sexual pleasure center of the female brain. When those nerves are stimulated, they boost electrochemical activity until it hits a threshold, triggers a burst of impulses, and releases bonding, feel-good neurochemicals such as dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. Ah, climax! If stimulation of the clitoris is cut off too soon, if the clitoral nerves aren’t sensitive enough, or if fear, stress, or guilt interfere with stimulation, the clitoris is stopped dead in its tracks.”

The Great Sexual Divide
“The sex-related centers in the male brain are actually about two times larger than parallel structures in the female brain. When it comes to the brain, size does make a difference in the way women and men think about, respond to, and experience sex.... Just as women have an eight-ane superhighway for processing emotion while men have a small country road, men have O’Hare Airport as a hub for processing thoughts about sex whereas women have the airfield nearby that lands small and private planes.”

Praise ~ "Sassy, witty, reassuring, and great fun. All women -- and the men who love them -- should read this book." Christine Northrup, M.D., author of The Wisdom of Menopause

Food for Thought


Science Diet

We starve ourselves and bend like Gumby to flatten our belly and whittle our butt. It’s high time we feed our mind.


I have a mind to confuse things, unite them, make them new-born, mix them up, undress them, until all light in the world has the oneness of the ocean, a generous, vast wholeness, a crackling, living fragrance.
Excerpted from ‘Too Many Names’
Extravagaria by Pablo Neruda; p. 237, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1958.
