My writings... and how I've found a new life-- not in the ashes of the old life-- but in eyes and hearts of new friends, new lovers and new places.

Try Something Different.

It's been a delightful few weeks. I've been hanging out with new friends, including some poly people... no mostly polyamorous people.


I'm learning that over the years, I picked up some bad habits. So I'm re-learning communication & relationships. That's simple, right??
