Am I?
Maybe it’s because I, for some reason, equate intimidating with domineering and I know they’re not the same but that that quirk is from something in my childhood. I’m also a relatively quiet person, which I don’t equate to intimidating, perhaps because it’s loud, aggressive, in-your-face people who have often intimidated me. But…I am frequently…

Something to Offer
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. I don’t remember ever hearing a man say aloud what he felt in terms of what he had to offer a relationship with me…until these past few years. It seems that it was always about what I had to offer—a wife who worked…

Chakra Changes
While flattened on the sofa, too sick to move and yet my mind was racing, I realized that I’ve had some significant changes in my chakras over the past 4 months. Funny that I’d be thinking about my energy centers when I have zip for energy. My root (first) chakra has really opened/strengthened in a…

What I Want for Mother’s Day
What I want for Mother’s Day this year is…well, not necessarily for Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is the next “holiday” for gift-getting, and why do I think I need a holiday for this? I want a honey-to-do. Well, that didn’t sound quite right either. Okay, true, but…blush…. I’ll start over. From the Bookshelf Rite of…

Mating Rituals
I’ll probably implode tomorrow. Beltane. Moon in Scorpio. Full Moon energies. Everything reeks of mating rituals, so obviously, they’re on my mind. Grrrrr. (And that’s a “Grrrr. Argh.” Not a flirty growl.) For the past few years, I’ve been swinging insanely between do I want to date or do I not want to date. Depending…

Jump or Be Pushed
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. In another of my own personal version of “Groundhog Day: The Movie,” I woke yet again to Hinder’s “Lips of an Angel.” Different time, different station, same song…every day this week, including weekends. I hated the song the first zillion times I heard it,…

Why Hair Stylists Make Me Nervous
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Rising. I wasn’t always nervous around hair stylists. And I’ve never been nervous about a bad cut or color because it grows out and it’s fixable. Most hair mistakes are easily fixable but some things aren’t, and that’s why I’ve sometimes been uncomfortable around them. Yes,…

Secrets
My office cleared out early—Relay for Life, family problems, emergency dental work, scheduled time off—and I was left as one of only a few in the building and in charge of my office. The big talk at work is about the retirements being offered because there’s not enough money to pay Federal salaries. People have…

Men Are Like Candy Bars
I was told 10 days ago that I should blog about candy bars. I have no idea why. In particular, how men are like candy bars. Go figure. Today, it hit me—or maybe I was just hungry. It’s not so much how men are like candy bars but my taste in men is similar…

Observations on Sex, Life, and Rock-n-Roll (but Mostly Sex)
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. Observations…. – Not all sex toys are dishwasher safe. From the Bookshelf Rite of Reckoning — a Southern witch returns home to secrets that won’t stay buried. Available direct from the author → – Thanks to the girls’ not keeping the puppy out of…

Doing the Crab-Walk
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree and Rising. I am crab-walking this year. It’s okay—I’m resigned to it. It’s only temporary, and the worst of it will be done in six months. So much good is happening for me now, especially on an internal level, and yet there’s a frustration about this…

Showing Her Cards
Four in the morning, headache splitting, and the urge to throw protection over someone I love. Instead I sit with it. Allowing miracles. Watching the cat play with her pretty bird.
