I have nothing against dicks. I birthed a person who has one. Nevertheless, they need not be everywhere. From riotously raucous to masterfully mellifluous, this sounds like so much fun.

Yes, indeedy, I know that about you, and I also happen to know that the person you gave birth to, may be an exception to my "rules." I guess I have nothing against dicks, (but let's not get into my opinion of testicles) but I often have issues with the people who are attached to them. I do my dicks and the people who are attached to them on a strictly case by case basis. Glad you're feeling positive about this venture. Looking forward to hearing your story in January! xo

I am. I’ve been exploring using my voice as a deeper form of expression beyond my writing. I do work with wise crones and love the powerful feelings that come forward when we SPEAK❤️‍🔥

Isn't it the best? When I started recording my stories on audio, it opened something up in me, and then, somewhat recently I began to video my essays. I absolutely adore doing it. I can't see myself ever stopping at this point. Claiming myself in the world. Taking my place and standing tall. I hope you do it with us. It's different than being on a stage, there's more of a boundary because we'll be doing it on Zoom. Everyone's response so far has been so positive and encouraging. I'm over the moon about all of it.

I'm glad you have a plan in mind! Did you subscribe to stay on top of the news? I'm very impressed by your Double Dutch, I couldn't ever do it. Even one rope was too much...
