If I lean too far one way, I fall into the pit of despair. Ok that might be over-dramatizing a bit, but not a whole lot. In this direction lies the land of high anxiety, which for me quickly shifts to "whoopee, we're all gonna die." (To the tune of whatever-that-song-was at Woodstock. Yes, I'll … Continue reading The Tightrope

The Club
I know that I'm not alone in the belief that a good, strong Dom holds his submissive accountable in ways that we don't do for ourselves. The belief that with the help of that Dom, we would thrive and finally level up in the game of life. And if I had thought I was alone … Continue reading The Club

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
Three More Days and Counting…
Today, I'm making vegetable soup and cookies. And tonight, we're going to do our annual drive-around-and look-at-lights with the grands. At least, that's the plan. Also, I need to do some clean-up, straightening and organizing. And probably 30 other things that just aren't on the list yet. So it will help if I get started … Continue reading Three More Days and Counting…

But the Winter Solstice tradition - or ritual - that I am most drawn to is the one that involves writing down the things you … Continue reading Winter Solstice 2019

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
Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was another lovely day, a big part of the day spent exploring the island I was on with my daughter and the grands. That's just a treat all by itself. But I was thinking about my career path (if you can call it that, feels like a career dead-end at the moment, but hopefully, … Continue reading Home Again, Home Again
From the Retreat
It is really beautiful here. Lots of live oak trees. And the ocean is just a short walk away. It was cloudy in the morning, but the sun came out later, temps in the low seventies, and it was perfect for walking on the beach yesterday. Cloudy and cooler today, but that's ok too. I … Continue reading From the Retreat
