My Open Heart

It hurts.  Letting go of a Beloved always hurts.  It really doesn't get easier with "practice" and life experience, does it?  Not for me anyway. Last week I had an ending of relationship with one of my lovers.  And even though I was the one who initiated it, my heart...

Numbers Are Good- For Math

I've been  thinking about how we use numbers to evaluate people a lot.  And it's not a good thing. Numbers for scores on tests.  Numbers for height.  Numbers on a scale.  Numbers for age. And there's always a "good" number and a "bad" number, right? As if these...

The Intimacy of Kink

In recent discussions, with both myself 😉 and others, I've noticed that there's a general assumption that lovemaking is lovemaking and kink is kink. There's an implication that real intimacy, real connection, only happens with vanilla sex: that "lovemaking" is the...

The Truth About Me

Okay, are you ready for the shocking truth?  I love sex.  I love S.E.X. I understand that some of you may be saying, "duh, I already knew that" right now...and yes, it's true that I have not been hiding that fact about myself.  AND, believe it or not, it seems there's...

Boundaries 101

Boundaries have been coming up for me SO MUCH lately!  As I raise the bar with my own boundaries- again, defined by Brene Brown as "what's okay, what's not okay"- the next opportunity to inquire into and define my boundaries comes up. What I know about setting and...

What is Love?

What's been popping up for me lately is wondering about the nature of love.  Or perhaps I should say Love, with a capital L. It's a topic I've long been interested in.  I remember over a decade ago when I was in school at The Hendricks Institute, and one day in class...

When Shiva Made Love to Me

I was awakened in the early morning At 5:00 a.m. to be exact By Shiva embodied His hand on my lower back, firmly Already sending life force energy into my pulsing body Receiving Suddenly so awake, all of my senses heightened He continued to place just one hand on me,...

A Stand For Love

I am living in the new paradigm now.  The Universe of my understanding requires me to show up as love. I AM love; you ARE love. This new place of a deeper, yet at the same time higher, understanding of this whole thing called life may sound confusing at times.  It...

On “Making Love”

I woke up this morning with this thought:  When we use the phrase "making love", what does that really mean?  In fact, it doesn't make sense to me anymore. I've always been a bit let down by the ability of that phrase to accurately reflect what it really IS.  I mean,...

Naked Before You

Getting naked here on so many levels. Naked right now after going on a hard run.  That I  procrastinated on for the past lot-of hours today.  Hot and sweaty and out of breath.  Stripped down to nearly nothing before the shower I'm about to take. And feeling very naked...
