So, this might be one of those blog posts for myself again.  While I think I do an amazing job for my clients with hypnosis, every now and then, I come across a personal situation that throws my unconscious mind into a downward spiral.  I tell my clients, “There’s a reason why brain surgeons don’t o...

I was at a Christmas party this past week, and one of my friends broke down and started crying. She is having a tough time this holiday season. She’s reached out to her children, and they have not returned her calls. She asks herself, “Why don’t they call me?” “Why are they behaving this way?” “Why ...

I’m tired of COVID-19. There, I said it. After two years of masks, vaccines, quarantines, and “science,” we are no closer to “flattening the curve” than we are to seeing Dolly Parton wear an AA bra. I’m not going to quote all kinds of life and death stats, survival percentage rates, and why you shou...

The life I am living right now is very different from the life I had less than 6 months ago. And that’s very different from the life I had a year ago. And that’s very different from the life I had 2 years ago, 5 years ago, and 10 years ago.

I’ve had to make some tough choices about the direction my...

The other night, I read a Facebook post from a couple I know, announcing that after 37 years of marriage, they are separating. I met this couple 13 years ago through the Swinger-Verse, and to say that they are a “power couple” in the world of swinging would not do them justice. For decades, this cou...

Yesterday, I got to wear a Halloween costume that I made. Doug and I came up with the theme. I tried to find a costume from the store, but none of them fit. I ended up finding a sewing pattern for the costume I wanted, picked out the fabric, and made the costume to fit me. It took maybe 6-8 hours be...

Even though I may look like a “New Yorker,” Cleveland, Ohio, is where I spent the first 25 years of my life. For those of you from Cleveland, I grew up in Berea, Ohio. 

Berea…Berea…you just met a girl from Berea! (to be sung like “Maria” from West Side Story). 

Berea is also the headquarters and t...

Some years ago, I met a guy named Dave at Hedonism II in Jamaica. For those of you who don’t know, “Hedo” is a clothing-optional resort with strong swinger tendencies. Not everyone who goes is a nudist, not everyone who goes is a swinger, but those who are both have a lot of f**kin fun. I happened t...

Doug and I were looking forward to seeing our friend Mark yesterday. I met Mark several years ago at a Law of Attraction Meet Up Group, and just liked his energy. We gave him a tour of the place and wanted to show him one of the condos we bought a few months ago. When we got to the top of the steps,...
