So I had this revelation - you know, the kind that once you have it, you think, 'well, duh, of course.' But somehow it just hadn't been in the front of your mind. No, my therapist didn't help me have this - what should I call it? A re-revelation? I'm still spinning my wheels on … Continue reading Not Really a Revelation
Mood City
I've noticed lately that my moods change quickly and easily. One minute I'm feeling all zen and the next I'm really up and energized and then I'm bummed out and feel like life is pointless and everything's wrong. I'm more irritable, internally, if not externally. Of course, I could be feeling more because I'm not … Continue reading Mood City
My Life is a Joke
JUST VENTING -- JUST VENTING -- JUST VENTING -- JUST VENTING Or maybe it's a rant. What's the difference? Ok, according to yahoo: Venting is when you're angry and you need to get something out of your system. You vent to a person who actually wants to listen and cares about why you're angry. When … Continue reading My Life is a Joke
In Olivia News
On Friday, I came home from the hospital. It was just a short stay (day and a half) and I'm not complaining. It was not Covid, and it was not a heart attack or a stroke. It was, apparently, my gall bladder. A gallstone, in fact. It could have been much worse, in a multitude … Continue reading In Olivia News
Word of the Year
Last year, my word was "Stretch." I intended to stretch out of my comfort zone and do things I'd never done before (like seriously marketing my own business.) I made it out of my comfort zone, I did some stretching. I didn't get my business off the ground. I didn't market particularly well. I didn't … Continue reading Word of the Year

What is my theme song?What is my word of the year?What is my motto?What about my personal mission statement? I did a dance class today, and did much better than I would have thought possible.

Here We Are 2021

Now
“Now,” he said. “Now, we can begin.” She looked up at him and smiled. He patted his thigh, “Come,” he said. “Over my lap. You’ve been neglected, and I need to punish you for it.” He was smiling too. “But, Sir,“ as she spoke, she rose from her knees and draped her body over his … Continue reading Now
Waiting
He stood in the doorway, looking at her. She was kneeling, facing the corner, thighs open, hands placed on her thigh, palms up. Her back was straight, her chin raised a bit, but without even looking, he knew her eyes were downcast. As they should be. He smiled. He was going to have so much … Continue reading Waiting
Wait a Minute
"Stop," he said, "Wait, come here." She paused, surprised. Looked at him - yes, that was definitely his Dom face. "Sir?" she asked. He shook his head as if to clear it, looked around the room a moment, and let his eyes settle on her. "Yes," he said. "It's me." He laughed. "I know, it's … Continue reading Wait a Minute
