open minded inquisitive woman with 2 children. sexually liberated submissive which was a long time coming--the pieces finally fell into place for me & i now feel more 'myself' than i've ever felt. i am an artist, working in acrylics, watercolor and figurative sculpture mostly. i keep a journal, a lovely perennial & vegetable garden with a small apiary. i love to read and am known to forget about time and space when i enter a library or used bookshop (currently reading 'love's work, a reckoning with life' by gillian rose; as well as 'the hunger game trilogy' simultaneously with my daughter). music, poetry, philosophy and a steaming scented bath at the end of the day all things that make me happy.

live where you fear to live
destroy your reputation
be notorious"

Letter Of Note of the Day: After her husband passed away in 1989, mother-of-three Marianne — then 36 years old — wrote a letter to Kurt Vonnegut to thank him “for his books and his compassion.”
She didn’t expect a reply — but got one anyway.
“I have always wanted to share his kind words,” she says. “It meant, and still means, so much to me.”
Transcript below:
It can’t be said often enough, “It is the woman who pays.” The miracle is that so many can and do somehow. I was in love (still am) with a widow with four kids (two not her own). She somehow raised them all on a teeny weeny salary. I told her one time, “I worry about women.” She said, “Don’t.”

I just love her response
