Nope, I have not suddenly developed a kinky relationship with anyone. This is one of those "crying in my beer" posts, so feel free to skip it. I went to the beach this morning, which is always lovely. No less lovely today than ever. I've been to the coffee shop, to the farmers market, for … Continue reading This Life

Ok, we already celebrated on Sunday, as we do. But my birthday is actually later in the week and I think I'll celebrate all week long. Let's start with a little song from the Beatles: https://youtu.be/MjF1bG5LUcs This song is also for you, if it's your birthday too!! The day is almost over, but since I’m … Continue reading It’s My Birthday Week!

Today, December 21 is Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. And the beginning of winter. A time for calm and quiet, pulling back and taking care of yourself. December is already my self-proclaimed Self-care month, so that fits nicely. This year I thought I'd start with sharing some winter solstice music. First, a … Continue reading Winter Solstice 2022

I ended my Fetlife exchange with Young Guy mentioning that he did not seem like a dominant. Perhaps that was insensitive. Although I really did just intend to start a conversation about types of kink. However. The road to hell* and all that. Cause here's what happened next: Him: Do you always judge and assume … Continue reading And the Fetlife Not-So-Funny

Having backed off from any vanilla relationship possibilities, I turned my attention to the kink dating scene. I signed up for BDSM Seniors (don't laugh.) Ok, laugh if you want to, but there I was. I couldn't find any info on what it would cost before I made a profile, so I half-ass threw something … Continue reading Fetlife Fun, Edition 58

I have reminded my self to back up and take care of myself. Being on the dating site, even for a minute, was also a reminder that all relationships come with their own baggage. I have to laugh at myself - here’s what I want: Someone who can see me for who I am, both … Continue reading Better, Better…

And I canceled the subscription. Can't do it. No dating apps for me. It was too awkward. Not that I actually talked to anybody. But I had to decide when I was going to talk about MP, and no matter how I pictured that, it didn't feel right. There is just no way to say, … Continue reading Or Not

That's what I feel like right now. Once again, I can sense the possibilities of the universe - or at least some possibilities for me. I am connecting with a community that understands trauma. I guess that sounds weird. But a truly trauma-informed setting can make us feel like we're being held gently, appreciated for … Continue reading Loading…

There have always been reasons I come back to post here. Used to be something kinky would be on my mind and this was the best place to share it. Today, it’s not anything kinky. But I found this picture on pixabay and fell in love with it. It needs some text on that blank … Continue reading Butterfly Banner

Melancholy is a lovely word, isn't it? The feeling is not so pleasant, but not terrible either, and if I'm going to feel melancholy, the beach is a good place to do it. Lonely. Lonely by default, I think. Not a great friend, I’m here when you reach out but I’ll let forever go by, … Continue reading Melancholy at the Beach
