Changing What I Want and Thankful to Do So
With this year’s Thanksgiving, I’m changing what I want, but I’m thankful that the time in between has given me a chance to know better what I want for the longterm. Not that that’s been easy, but over the past couple of years, I have in fact gotten exactly what I asked for on many…

Lives Hanging in the Balance
When I was a little girl, I loved playing on the see-saw. It required a partner of some reasonable level of equality—one who wouldn’t get me near the top and bail on me, one who was content to alternate flying through the air, one who delighted just as much as I did in getting to…

Revealing Conversations and Submissive Men
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Truth. Blame it on the moon in Scorpio, but I had a rather enlightening conversation yesterday with an old friend who recently confessed that he’s a submissive and has been living the life of his choice for the past decade. I’ll disguise his description and…

A Note to Cherish
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Truth. My mom received the copy of Dark Revelations that I’d sent her a few days ago. I’ve had her connected to the Real World through the lifeline of email and Internet for over a year now and we’re able to stay in touch and…

Third Date, Last Date
My kingdom for one good man! And apparently, it’s not this one…. The guy seems to have a lot of promise. Very intelligent, divorced for a couple of years, a guy I know from work though he’s more often in Panama City than here. Scientific mind, loves to talk philosophically. Professional job, easy smile, lovely…

What’s Real: Same Question as So Often Before, Different Angle
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in *Third Degree Curves.* A colleague has reprimanded me for acting on intuition rather than fact, even though the results were dead-on. She says I need to go with what’s “real.” But what’s “real” isn’t necessarily what’s true. What’s “real” isn’t even what can be verified by scientific fact…

Intensely Personal Secrets
There are secrets I have that I will never divulge here. And there are secrets I’ve been told that I will never divulge anywhere, whether they are the secrets of those I love or of those I detest. We all keep secrets. Yes, even diarists who openly share their thoughts with friends in an effort…

Different Strokings
I meet such interesting people, and the bizarre thing is that so many of these people, I’ve known for years. I simply didn’t know that they had so many unusual and fun secrets. Case in point, the male friend from long ago who confesses that he’s a sexual submissive, 24/7. He proudly introduces me to…

Working Through: Moving the Earth
Driving to work, I waffle by the hour about a new man, then ten minutes later, again. I’ve never been this indecisive. Something is shifting. Someone is going to make the earth move.

Manifesting Men
While in Daytona, Maggie Shayne reminded me of one of the earliest lessons I had in magick—structuring reality…also known as manifestation. It’s not that I had forgotten it. At this point in my spiritual path, it’s inherent in everything that I do, but I needed to be reminded of the process, how things move through…

Why Can’t I Be Like Other Women?
What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be like other women? Why can’t I just be like every other divorced woman within 10 years of my age—and half the married women I know—and just go get me a fuck-buddy or two or three or ten and be fine with that? Logically speaking, it would fit…

My Dream Date
The dreams have returned, and I’m not quite sure what to make of the one a crow’s calling woke me from this morning. Whatever was holding back the dreams seems to have broken loose, though, and I know I’ve been extremely productive—creatively—for the past few days, so maybe the two are related. From the Bookshelf…
