Everyone has a story to tell—perhaps a story of loss, perseverance, shame, self-discovery, courage, or wonder. Over the course of a life well lived, we experience identity-defining moments that change us in profound ways. Like an abundant spice cabinet, we amass nuggets of wisdom that we call on from time to time, some for ourselves and some for those we love and emotionally support.

Some of the stories you’ll find on this site are mine and some of them I’ve gleaned from conversations with people I hold dear in my universe. I share these stories in hope of creating a kinder, more empathic community. Shedding light on our own humanity can be healing, inspirational, and powerful, especially in unity with others.

The ultimate mission of AnitaUncorked.com is to take readers on a journey of understanding and inspiration and to provide real evidence that we are, in fact, not alone.  


They fell to the floor,

a tangle of legs,

adrenaline pumping...

Oh yeah!!!

She needed this as much as he did!

He kissed her in that secret spot

along her neck,

the one that pushes all the right buttons,

makes her giggle...

He rested his head upon hers,

a symbolic meeting of the minds.

It was then she whispered in his ear

the all-important question:

Would you 

mind

if

I

walked you twice as long tomorrow?
