She read through it again. "Her legs trembled, but she didn't look away. 'Yes, Sir, I agree to obey,' and if her voice shook as she said the last part, it was understandable, but she went on, "agree to obey without question, without knowing what you will ask of me ahead of time.'" She smiled … Continue reading And Then He Was There

My dear friend, Jade, left a comment recently noting that I need to carve out some time for myself, and fortunately, that was already in my plan. Next weekend, I'm heading out on Thursday night and not coming home til Sunday. I won't have a view of the ocean this time, but I'll be in … Continue reading Escaping

I may have mentioned before that I have an hitachi magic wand that MP gave me a few years ago. Since he and I don't play anymore, it's been my go-to for basic maintenance. I am not a creative self-pleasurer, I tend to be a "wham-bam - now go to sleep" kind of girl. The … Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day (to me.) And you.

So I had this revelation - you know, the kind that once you have it, you think, 'well, duh, of course.' But somehow it just hadn't been in the front of your mind. No, my therapist didn't help me have this - what should I call it? A re-revelation? I'm still spinning my wheels on … Continue reading Not Really a Revelation

It was, apparently, my gall bladder. A gallstone, in fact. It could have been much worse, in a multitude … Continue reading In Olivia News

Last year, my word was "Stretch." I intended to stretch out of my comfort zone and do things I'd never done before (like seriously marketing my own business.) I made it out of my comfort zone, I did some stretching. I didn't get my business off the ground. I didn't market particularly well. I didn't … Continue reading Word of the Year

Ok, maybe not a lot of fun. A little fun. Here are some questions I’m contemplating in 2021. What is my theme song?What is my word of the year?What is my motto?What about my personal mission statement? I did a dance class today, and did much better than I would have thought possible. (As in … Continue reading More Fun in 2021

"And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been, full of work that has never been done, full of tasks, claims, and demands; and let us see that we learn to take it without letting fall too much of what it … Continue reading Here We Are 2021
