My back hurts, and I haven’t done nearly enough hours of my civvie work today. In my defence, I’m waiting on some feedback before proceeding. But even without that justification, I’m not sure I would have done any better. Isolation has been a mixed bag. Working from home—which I’ve done in various businesses for the […]
Brene Brown writes about this in a lot of her work – how we are all connected to each other. I’ve been thinking about that a lot these last few days, and to be honest, feeling pretty bummed out by the world. At first, it seemed like there’d be rules for the elite and rules […]
I was talking to a friend today about how I go about making friends, and it made me realise something with a kind of jolt. That is—my current working life does not lend itself to new friendships. To start with, I’m not a lotsa-friend kind of woman. I have very close friendships with a handful […]
– Ani Di Franco (Face Up and Sing) I have been thinking a lot about the woman who I want to honour by name, but who’s privacy has already been destroyed in the most horrifying manner. And even after writing that sentence, after all this thinking, I get stuck with just tears. For so […]
Pondering, as usual. This time about relationships and sex work. I’ve always had a fairly down-to-earth attitude about love. I think it’s rooted in my childhood of horses. Every time I out grew one pony, we would have to sell it in order to buy another. And every time I thought I might die. Because […]
I spend quite a lot of time driving. Driving up to my mum’s farm to ride my horse. Driving kids here there and everywhere. I used to love driving. I’d crank up whatever music took my mood, drive places just for the hell of it, and think. (Often times, I must confess, I would also […]
Did you know that I write erotic thrillers and erotic short stories? I have just started a blog on my author page, and am now trying to keep up blogs, Facebook, Twitter and my personal life across a confusing number of platforms. If you see me post something on Ellie’s Twitter about when to expect […]
People often ask me what I want or what I like in my intimate encounters, which is in some ways a terribly easy and in other ways a terribly difficult question to answer. I could tell you about a date that I loved – I will, in fact! But that doesn’t really answer the question […]
I have been thinking a lot about mutual satisfaction recently. After such a long time away from sex work, I’m very much enjoying my return. I have met some lovely gentlemen and had some great sex and yet, something has been niggling away at me. And I think what it comes down to is the […]
I’ve been thinking about this a lot since my last blog post. Thought about it and wrote about and talked to one of my besties (non-sex worker) about it last night…then I felt compelled to re-write it. Damn her. So, ‘coming out’ as a sex worker of course ties in with contributing. And […]
