More Reflections on Traveling – Some of What I Came For; a Change
One of the things I rediscovered was my ability to be adaptable, to be flexible, to bend and move and adjust. It was serious discovery, an important one; it permeates all the corners of my life. I have tried to bring it back with me, to let it seep back…
Reflections – Days 3-5 on the Outer Banks
Continuing from this post… I have finally arrived at my chosen destination, a place I love: the windswept Outer Banks of North Carolina. There I face some additional challenges (aka “opportunities for learning”): rain, wind, cold, flooded campsite, solar and electrical issues. And yet – and yet – I find…
Reflections
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?? Or a lot of minutes… I’ve made lots of excuses these past three (or four?) weeks about why I haven’t posted anything, the latest being that the laptop I had been using, a castoff from my work, was such a behemoth that I loathed…
My First Solo Vancamping Trip
It’s been my dream to work remotely for as long as I have known that remote work was a thing – long before I ever had a job where it was possible. When I was offered the opportunity to work from home in my last position, I jumped at it…
Soft Focus
I’ve had a jagged couple of days: work has been enormously demanding and I’ve had to deal with all of it alone as everyone on my team except me has multiple days off; I’ve been sleep-deprived as I have tried to adjust to early rising (4:30 am) three days a…
Halcyon Days
What positive emotion do you feel most often? This was the WordPress prompt today, and honestly it couldn’t have been a better one. I mean, my reality: there are so many positive emotions that run through my life nowadays. Love. Joy. Happiness. Appreciation. Pleasure. Delight. Exuberance. Lightheartedness. Playfulness. But the…
Ready to cum for Daddy
I don’t (usually) call him that. That’s never been a part of our dynamic. At least not overtly. If I think about our relationship, though, I can definitely see aspects of it. It’s less about control; more about following his lead. It’s less about domination or dictatorship and more about…
Massage the Anxiety Away
It is our last day/night in Italy. We are staying in Amalfi one last night and having a spa day as a wind-up of our visit. Tomorrow we head back to Naples and then to Amsterdam, where we have a long layover, about 19 hours. We’re going to explore the…
The right way to start his – my – our day
Morning bj’s, “sleepy bj’s,” are the best. We woke earlier than we needed to this morning and cuddled awhile, enjoying each other’s warmth, the sun peeking through the blinds, the feeling of not having to be anywhere just yet. Well except I did have to be somewhere. I’d signed up…
Anxious Days
Most of you that have been reading here long know I have a history of both social anxiety and bouts of generalized anxiety, the strength and duration of which varies. Pandemic times caused a prolonged interval of it, as it did for many people, and was an easily understandable catalyst.…
