Happy Sunday
We have company - my sister and brother-in-law are here til Monday, so that's lovely. I'm awake a bit too early again, just hanging out with my coffee. I have a habit of saving things I really like on Facebook and then forgetting to ever go back to them. Today, I decided to look at … Continue reading Happy Sunday
More Therapy, Please
Writing here has become my therapy. Like group therapy, only instead of a group of clients, there's one client and a group of therapists. Thank goodness, clearly I need it. Sofia and Lucas are dancing in my head again, but I need this session now. My much anticipated conversation with MP and my daughter that … Continue reading More Therapy, Please
Rolling Along
Dance "class" last night was wonderful. "Class" in quotes because it's unstructured movement, not really class. I think I've linked to the website for this particular dance - 5Rhythms Wave - but let me share this as well. The 5Rhythms – Flowing Staccato Chaos Lyrical Stillness® – are states of Being. They are a map … Continue reading Rolling Along
Miscellany
I've been reading lots of other people's blogs lately. Some of them seem very vanilla, and of course there's nothing wrong with that. But I ran across these short stories by KC Perrin and got kind of obsessed. He writes my kind of fantasy. Seriously. If you've never heard of KC Perrin or read his … Continue reading Miscellany
Happy 2020!
I actually stayed up til midnight last night, not that I was doing anything particularly festive, but I did welcome the new year in. Just this morning, I've started thinking about it being a new decade and pondering whether that actually has extra significance for me. Of course I remember the year 2000, when everyone … Continue reading Happy 2020!
The Other Olivia
I'm back! No, I didn't resolve anything, just pushed it all aside. Now I'm ready - wait - what? Oh, this. This is a bit darker than I usually go... An Interlude "Come here," he said, "Time's up." She looked up from the paper she'd been writing on, put down her pen. "Yes, Sir," she … Continue reading The Other Olivia
On the Eve
On New Year's Eve, we think about change and resolutions or, in my case, intentions. I'm feeling pretty much like a failure today, even though I know that's irrational and no one is "a failure," even if we don't do everything right or everything successfully. I know that. And yet... WARNING: If you prefer to … Continue reading On the Eve
Connections – Part II {14}
Sofia trembled, standing in front of him. All too aware that her skin wasn't tight and smooth, that she sagged and bulged and there just wasn't much she could do about any of that. She was afraid that Lucas would be disgusted. Instead, he smiled as his hands moved over her body, stroking, caressing, examining. … Continue reading Connections – Part II {14}
Announcing…
It's official. I'm old. No, really, I am, and it's ok, or at least mostly ok. It's posing some issues for Sofia right now, but I'm sure she'll work through it. Fortunately, I'm not having the same issues at the moment, mostly because no one is looking at my old and unattractive body. But anyhow... … Continue reading Announcing…
