Marinating in Self-Care

I meant to write this post yesterday, but I decided to make a delightful dinner instead. That’s how I self-care. Okay, that’s it. That’s the post. Just kidding! Wait! Come back! Once upon a time, I enjoyed reading while soaking in a hot bath. Back then, we didn’t have things...

Trusting People on the Internet is Hard

  Trusting People on the Internet is Hard I’m Exhausted. I’m Also Angry. I also don’t have much energy to give, let alone trust these days. #TrustNoOne Every time I go to click the Twitter shortcut link or app, I wonder what fucked up crazy is going to happen. I’ve...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Shame on you for Shaming

Let’s talk about Shaming Someone I adore recently sent a SnapChat photo of the cover of Best Women’s Erotica of the Year Volume 3 to her story. I lent her my copy when she expressed interest after reading Chemical [se]X 2: Just One More and her relative swiped Big Book...

A Penny for Your Thoughts: Smothering Wet Blanket

Hello there and welcome back. First, let me attempt to apologize for neglecting this space. I’ve been dealing with a crazy emotional fallout period. I feel like the smothering wet blanket has finally lifted. Sorry, it happens to me a lot and I usually push through. This time, I couldn’t....

A Penny for your Thoughts: Boundaries Matter

This post is for me, an introvert, and issues I have regarding boundaries with people both in real life and on social media. I highly recommend blocking or muting anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable. I’ll tell you, if someone walks into a bar and I’m sitting there having lunch...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Truth and Shame

Truth and Shame. Some people believe they are speaking the truth, while others are made to feel shame. The keyword in that quote to me is ‘consent’. This isn’t another post on consent, but it is a post on how one person’s truth can make another person feel shame. Here...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Proximity Alert

Those of us that write, live, or both regarding the BDSM Lifestyle tend to focus on one major item above all others (or I hope they do…). A specific word that conveys many feelings and comes with the heaviest of weight. Consent. Without consent, it’s abuse. But what about outside...

A Penny for your Thoughts: I’m Not Single*

I’ve decided to no longer identify myself as “single” when it comes to my relationship status. Read on to find out more! Again, I’ve been subjected to the indignity of being single twice in two weeks. Usually I have a few months between these ridiculous accusations that because I’m not partnered up, I must...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Importance of Self-Care

Self-Care is super important. I’m not talking about just having a day or night off where you do whatever you want or need in order to slough off the negative happenings going on. I’m talking about professional self-care. I highly recommend looking for a local spa with a good reputation...

A Penny for Your Thoughts: Returning to Reality

Well, my vacation in the mountains is officially over. I’m sure you think I’m going to brag about how much writing I have gotten accomplished. Well, I’m not. Other than the Thanksgiving post below this one and a few paragraphs here and there, nothing-nada-zilch. I’ll be completely refreshed and full...

A Penny for Your Thoughts: Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to those of us in the US. For everyone else: Feel free to jump on the thanksgiving bandwagon. Have a random feast with family you can’t stand (or love to hate) and hash out all those silly differences over booze and turkey. For those traveling this holiday: I...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Seasonal Blahs

I almost started ranting about things that didn’t belong in this post, but I wrangled my inner demon (to release her another day) and got back on track! Well, it’s that time of year again, you know what I mean if you live in a place where the seasons change...

A Penny for your Thoughts: Sex and Sunshine

When it comes to sex, even today, we are having to fight to bring it out of the darkness. Schools teach – if anything at all – abstinence and disease and the mechanics. They don’t bother to teach you about consent – because you shouldn’t be having sex anyway, right?...

A Penny for Your Thoughts: Sharing from Your Kindle

We’re all very busy people! Who has time to write reviews? (Please keep writing reviews, I’m being a wee bit sarcastic here!) There’s a feature I stumbled upon accidentally when I highlighted some text. I knew about highlighting previously – for like reference and to copy and search, or maybe...
