Some of my vanilla life is falling into place, or at least sweeping me up into the process. Work is good, and I'm working on some other things that will be satisfying and interesting. I have a friend coming to visit from Where-I-Used-to-Live in about six weeks, and the prospect of a visit in the … Continue reading Moving Forward

Powerful Words
“For the rest of history, for most of us, our bright promise will always fall short of being actualised; it will never earn us bountiful sums of money or beget exemplary objects or organisations.... Most of us stand poised at the edge of brilliance, haunted by the knowledge of our proximity, yet still demonstrably on … Continue reading Powerful Words
Tonight 1-8
I traveled today. I'm in a different state, 1,000 miles from home. I got a lot of work done while I was traveling, had dinner with some co-workers here where we talked about work stuff and then personal lives. The food was lovely, and we laughed and shared some good moments. I got back to … Continue reading Tonight 1-8
Guess Whose Birthday It Is!
Yes!! It's Elvis' birthday!! 1935-1977 And here's me today: Well, kind of anyhow. I'm still celebrating the King's birthday, but I''m not wearing a sliver lame cape in honor of it - thanks for that suggestion though, David, the image is lingering with me... But look at that Pretty Boy face. For some reason, Elvis … Continue reading Guess Whose Birthday It Is!

I have a bunch of thoughts floating around in my head - if I knew how to do it, I'd put them here in bubbles, like a cartoon, or circles. But I don't know how to do that here, so you'll have to imagine it. Here are my thoughts, in no particular order. I Believe: … Continue reading Ideas
What About a BDSM-Based Life Coach?

And other disciplinary techniques. I have a job coach now, well, a "leadership" coach. I'm sure it will be interesting and probably helpful. But … Continue reading What About a BDSM-Based Life Coach?

But first - thank you to those of you who commented on yesterday's post. I deeply appreciate the insight and wisdom of the people I know here. Your willingness to look into yourself and share your perspective means a lot to me. Now for TMI Tuesday. (I know it's Wednesday -so what?) Borrowing this from … Continue reading TMI Tuesday, January 4
Submission Goes Mainstream
I read this lovely article in The Elephant Journal about a submissive woman who's talking publicly about her lifestyle. You can and should read the whole article here. But this part in particular was nice to read. She is a submissive. Her life, day in and day out, is lived with the mindset of being … Continue reading Submission Goes Mainstream
Happy New Year!
Wishing you all the best in 2018!
Here Comes the New Year…
Arbitrary of course. January 1st is not really new and 2017 slides seamlessly into 2018 for real. But the "new year" is a reasonable way to mark time, so I'll go with it. (I'm sure that's a great relief to the universe, right?) My tooth is fixed - yay and double yay!! The dentist was … Continue reading Here Comes the New Year…
