It's Halloween, and here in the US, that means costumes and candy. I like Halloween. When I was younger, I used to dress up for the occasion, my husband at the time would decorate every inch of the yard. I'd take the kids trick-or-treating and he would give out candy to the ghosts and goblins … Continue reading Celebrations

Anniversaries and Holidays
It's Mother's Day in the US, so Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and step-mothers! 🎉 Happy Mother's Day to all the "You were like a mother to me" people! 🎈 Originally intended to be a day that mothers came together to protest war and advocate for peace, it has become another Hallmark holiday … Continue reading Anniversaries and Holidays
Good Things…
Good things come to those who wait. That’s what they say anyhow. And sometimes, it’s true. Almost 4 years ago, I stumbled across a picture used as a banner on pixabay. I was really taken with it. It had a purple butterfly on one side and some simple grass and flowers on the other, and … Continue reading Good Things…
Siri, Get Directions…
For what it’s worth, I am no stranger to u-turns and do-overs. I know there are people who seem to be born knowing what they want to do. I am not one of them. I think of myself as a wanderer, out here exploring new worlds. Unlike Christopher Columbus, I’m not interested in looting, conquering, … Continue reading Siri, Get Directions…
The Little Things?
Sir and I continue to have regular sessions, maintenance on Wednesday, play on Sunday - although we're switching to Tuesday and Saturday, starting last night. I think it is actually, really helpful for me and improves the quality of my life overall. However. There's always an "however" with me, isn't there? Lol, that's how I … Continue reading The Little Things?
Rope
I love rope - have i mentioned that? Lol, yes, I know I have. But last night reminded me of how much I love it. Just the sense of being restrained is so lovely. While I was securely tied to a chair, legs open, Sir used a number of strappy toys on me - my … Continue reading Rope
Demisexual?
I am fascinated and often delighted by the variety of ways we can define our sexuality. Sir has been researching some terms for himself (which I won't share, although he has indicated how he identifies on his Fetlife profile.) But I've been thinking about myself today and who I'm attracted to. Yes, I like labels. … Continue reading Demisexual?
Rolling with the Resistance
I think of it as a therapy technique. When clients are resistant to change, it's pointless to argue with them. As a therapist, I would take a step back and just acknowledge that they didn't actually have to change. Then we could talk about what would happen if they stayed on the same path they … Continue reading Rolling with the Resistance
On Strike?
I have been feeling a little bit lost lately. Work is not going well, entirely my own fault. I’m back to not doing the things I need to do. Apparently, I can not do my work for any number of reasons. Too distracted, too busy with other things, too tired, too unsure of what to … Continue reading On Strike?
Words, words and more words…
I'm laughing about today's WordPress prompt for today: If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which word would it be? Why? I'm not one to ban words just on general principle. If I were going to ban any word, it would probably be the n-word, but then there are black people who … Continue reading Words, words and more words…
