I was writing today… such a simple thing hit me full force in my body, aching and quaking in my skin. What I wrote: If we go into judgemental behavior, think “huh, that was judgmental” rather than “I am such an ass for being judgmental.” The first is an action, the second is an identity. [...]
On Saturday, November 20th, it was my absolute delight to get to deliver the keynote speech for the Transcending Boundaries Conference, in Worcester, MA. This amazing conference was a three-day event with both academic and profoundly personal conversations ranging in topics from Asexuality to Bisexuality, Kinky to Polyamorous, Transgender to Intersex to Genderqueer… and all [...]
This month, join me as I share my continuing journey and reflections on gratitude, freedom, and tribe.

Today a shaman wrote me, their own struggles painfully reflected in mine. The difference was that my tribe had stepped up to feed me, and theirs had not. My fingers spoke back. I hear your feeling of isolation, disconnect and uncertainty around support. For a long time, I felt very similar… though the feeling of [...]
24 hours ago I posted a call for assistance. Hoping to get rent covered, maybe the bills, fingers crossed. I have been blown away by the generosity and outpouring of love Aiden and I have received. Between paypal, checks we know are on the way, and other items, our immediate financial concerns are all set. [...]
UPDATE: THANK YOU ALL! BASIC FINANCIAL NEEDS MET. PLEASE SEE HERE FOR DETAILS. LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!! Friends, Family, Students, Tribe, Fellow Adventurers of Sexuality, Spirit and Life… As many of you may have heard by now, I have had severe health concerns since mid-July. These are connected to my long term health issues, [...]
It’s 4am, and no rest for the wicked it seems… or less wicked, and more set for seeing what comes next. Through a strange set of circumstances, my Boy and I were approved by my doctors to travel, drugs upped and emergency plans made- and off we went by chinatown bus to DC for the [...]
On this month’s podcast, I go offroad by setting out without a pre-set map. We begin at Rope Camp, and find ourselves wandering through trying out new rope, awareness, love, connection, tribal affiliations, the meaning of “I have to” and a little bit of porn thrown in… http://www.eroticawakening.com/ea134-going-off-road-jute-authenticity-challenges-and-love/ Ball in the image provided by Passional [...]
