This post is a potpourri of vanilla and kink, Christmas and Solstice, and includes music, planning, and some quick fantasy. If you're just here for the kink, you may want to pass. Every Christmas, I share my favorite non-traditional Christmas music. I already shared The Christians and The Pagans, which is probably number 1 on my "hits" … Continue reading Tis the Season

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…
Hanging Out on Saturday
It's another lovely day here, and I'm enjoying the long weekend, even though I'm working some. I'm also spending time organizing my office some more and getting ready for Christmas, so that's pretty cool. We had a lovely Thanksgiving Day, with lots of room for gratitude and love, and I hope you did too. I … Continue reading Hanging Out on Saturday
Simply Sunday
Sunday is the time to connect with myself. I did not go to the UU church today. When I think about going, I kind of shrink inside myself, and it doesn't seem like a good idea to step back into that, you know? I'm looking for ways to connect, not things that I cringe away … Continue reading Simply Sunday
Warning – Religion Ahead
This is what happens when you search for "warn" on Pixabay... Awake way too early this morning, especially for a Sunday. But that's ok. I'll lie back down in a bit maybe. I've been getting images for this blog and other blogs from Pixabay lately, and really love it. Today, I just entered "Awake" in … Continue reading Warning – Religion Ahead
Soothing Sunday
It rained all day yesterday, which was soothing in its own way, but today is going to be sunny and pleasant. We're dropping my daughter at the airport and I'm taking the kids to the park right after that. Although - as I look out my window, maybe we're actually not. It looks like more … Continue reading Soothing Sunday
My Soul in a Vise Grip – and What About those Chakras?
{Saturday} Ok, I've been feeling a bit less like pond scum since I was assured that there would be no problem finding my cat a good home, so that's helpful. I'm discovering that now I'm just really sad. That sense of relief I was expecting has not kicked in yet and I keep crying. Little … Continue reading My Soul in a Vise Grip – and What About those Chakras?
Love
There was a time in my life that i was very focused on love. Not romantic love, although there was some of that back then too, but what I thought of as "agape love ." A more spiritual version of love, love that is unconditional. God-like, perhaps. My guiding principal was to do everything i … Continue reading Love
Sunday Silence
I have the house to myself again today - MP left on Thursday so it's been quiet around here. Yesterday, since i didn't get to go to the play party, i went to the March for Our Lives, which was pretty phenomenal. Then i took myself out for dinner, where i sat outside for the … Continue reading Sunday Silence
