You Are The Sky

We each have an energy signature,
A unique mix that becomes you, becomes me.
My mind sees my energy in color, and yours,

Teapots and Teaspoons

I could really be a teapot…I’m short (not really stout) and little. I do get steamed up. I do shout when I get that way. And most of the time I want assistance in getting cooled off. And it makes me wonder what the song writer was really thinking when they made this jingle?

I Want You To Want Me

I wonder why I’m such an aggressor when it comes to sex- why it feels like a power play or a power trip? Sexually speaking, it’s been my nature to want to please a guy. And I try so hard to make him happy that I have no idea what makes ME happy. How did more »

Nancy’s new Website

I’ve been reading Searching for Suzi by Nancy Stohlman. I’m not a reviewer so I’ll keep this short.

Lying there so beautiful, I can’t resist…I slowly kiss her as I playfully stroke her hair..she stirs, stretches, and lazily opens her eyes.  She smiles and lets out a low seductive moan..an more »

Wing Man

I have a friend who plays the sax. He was scheduled to play Friday night at a local bar. I told him I’d show up no matter what. Two hours before I left the house my wing man, or wing wo-man canceled on me. What’s a girl to do? My answer: Go anyway. Yes, go more »
