Dreamlanddancing commented on one of my comments with the phrase: "Baraka Bashad." i had to google that; i'd never heard it before. It's from the Sufi tradition and it means, "May the blessings be," or "May the blessings flow." It reminds me of the Wiccan "Blessed be." But the google trail led me to … Continue reading Learning

Lovely Monday Thoughts
And on that note, I'm going to go exercise.
Check-in Sunday, 5-22
As you can see if you look at My Accountability Page i have been fairly mediocre in meeting my goals. Pretty hit and miss. On the other hand, i've started reorganizing the house, preparing for a visit from a dear friend, and finally, finally figured out a way to reorganize our office space so i'm not … Continue reading Check-in Sunday, 5-22
Just Tired
Busy at work, busy at home, got some social stuff going on - a movie and dinner, a fund-raising dinner last night, a play and dinner tomorrow. Not enough sleep. Not complaining - not at all. But i am going to go take a nap. “Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work … Continue reading Just Tired
Training – Part III

When it comes to sex we are bombarded every which way, so much so, that we think solving our cravings is … Continue reading Questions from the Universe

Training – Part I
"But - what kind of training school is it?" i ask, naively, i realize now. "For submissives, of course," he says, smiling at me, one hand fisted in my hair. "I would want you to go on Friday afternoon, after work, and stay the weekend -well, through Monday really, since it's a three day weekend." … Continue reading Training – Part I
Sunday Check-in 5-15
i can't seem to hold my goals in my head - or keep them in front of me the way i'd like to. i wasn't as productive as i'd like to be this week, i didn't do any of the things that i've talked about wanting to do. i've exercised a couple of times, but … Continue reading Sunday Check-in 5-15
