I have another part of A Kinky Retreat about half done... but I've been distracted by a post I saw on my (very vanilla) facebook feed. Drew Tupper, a coach who works with couples, wrote it. When I read his posts, I sometimes bristle, on the verge of being offended, but then he shifts the … Continue reading An Aside

I'm am just popping in to say that the latest political developments here in the US are giving me hope for the future - for the first time in a while. In addition to that... My financial situation is better. Not great, but better. My health is good. Had a routine doctor's appointment Monday and … Continue reading Hope

I love to dance. I took dance classes from when I was 4 years old (ballet, tap, and acrobatics) til I was about 15, at which point I was too cool for anything except jazz or "modern dance.' Even though I was only 13 in 1969, my basic dance style is still based on the … Continue reading Dancing Alone

However - in an interesting twist of fate - my friend Angel's proposal was accepted!! So that's awesome. Some of you may know Angel - she used to comment … Continue reading What About the Kinky Stuff?

May the summer solstice inspire a sense of balance and harmony within you. May you find equilibrium between work and play, rest and activity, and embrace the joy of living in harmony with nature.

Spring came early this year - in my mind, it's not til the 20th or 21st. However, here we are - spring sprang yesterday! So I'm celebrating Spring Equinox today. As we move into spring, lots of changes continue to happen for me. I think it's leading to new growth and development and deeper happiness, … Continue reading Spring (a Day Late)

So often, I have great ideas and then I don't do anything with them. So I had an idea or two for workshops for the conference Sex Down South. (I know, I already told youall that.) But - last week, Angel, of Parisian Phoenix Publishing, messaged me that the deadline for applying is Friday, March … Continue reading Really Doing It
