At some point, writing here started to feel like another obligation instead of the pleasure it usually is. I shifted my writing to my vanilla life, and that felt right. Today, I've been sitting here for a bit trying to figure out how I'm doing. I mean, I'm ok. I'm not freaking out. I'm not … Continue reading Another Sunday in TCT

Not Feeling It
“I don’t know,” she shrugged. “I’m just not feeling it. Ya know? I mean, all of the things happening, all the change, it’s just hard. I don’t even know what submissive means right now - what does it look like?” He looked at her, head tilted a bit, curious, as if he were weighing her … Continue reading Not Feeling It
Interlude
I think I published this and unpublished it right afterwards. Ooops... “Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We … Continue reading Interlude

I can't recommend it strongly enough. Edited to add: Thanks to Michael’s’ question, I’m back to add this: Brene Brown is a researcher … Continue reading Tip for the Day
Too Busy for a Title

With my daughter, who’s taking her turn on the computer and talking - on speakerphone - … Continue reading Too Busy for a Title
Thought for the Day – In TCT
“What is TCT?” you ask. Clearly, it’s an acronym, not a word, at least not a word in any language I know. You won’t find it in the urban dictionary - the place I love to search for strange acronyms and inexplicable word usage. Yeah, I think I made this one up. It stands for … Continue reading Thought for the Day – In TCT
Busy Days, Busy Nights
I get up early - typically between 5 and 6 a.m. That’s when I don’t wake up TOO early - often around 2:30 or 3 a.m. But I treasure that early morning time when no one else is up yet. I was still a child when I started to get up that early. I would … Continue reading Busy Days, Busy Nights
Sending Love…
May you be happy May you be healthy May you be safe May you live in love.
The Tightrope
If I lean too far one way, I fall into the pit of despair. Ok that might be over-dramatizing a bit, but not a whole lot. In this direction lies the land of high anxiety, which for me quickly shifts to "whoopee, we're all gonna die." (To the tune of whatever-that-song-was at Woodstock. Yes, I'll … Continue reading The Tightrope
Like a Drive-Through
Just sort of popping by to say "hi." I'm trying to catch up with all the things I've left undone this week. Well, maybe not all of them, but some of them. And suddenly it’s 10:00 and no blog post. So here’s my thought for the day: "Let the darkness find you if it must. … Continue reading Like a Drive-Through
