Greetings!

Listening to the deafening din of crickets making their last ditch attempt to find love and leave their DNA behind for posterity I feel Mother Earth urging me to make my own last minute preparations for inclement weather and less daylight.  Here in my mountain retreat, wood for heat when the icicles hang from the eves of my cabin roof is a priority. It must be cut and split and stacked which is a lot of hard physical labor. And I admit to deriving a great deal of satisfaction from this reenactment of a very ancient and almost primal connection to seasonal changes as Mother Earth continues her relentless orbit around the sun.

I have never regretted retreating from more urban settings and although I love visiting all of you whether that takes the form of workshops, lectures, conferences, parties or the housecalls I provide when I am on tour - the sanctuary I find in the woods renews my spirit and satisfies my desire to live in sync with the Mother of us all. 

In just a few weeks I will venture from my mountain and with any luck you and I will be face to face again.  If you desire a housecall while I am on tour this time, just email or text your preferred dates and times.  I will be visiting Santa Cruz on October 19th (more details below!) when I present Orgasms for Life at Pure Pleasure, so be sure to get on my calendar sooner rather than later.

This month you will notice a new look to The Wealthy Woodpecker (this newsletter!) so be sure to explore the new features and links.  You will find a link to my brand new monthly column for Eden Fantasys' Sex Is Magazine as well as a direct link to iTunes where you can download the latest episode of The Shame Free Zone.  Be sure to scroll down for more information about both and don't forget to keep those emails coming - I love to post your comments in my Reader's Respond section!

Anger Anorexia?
Anger Management is usually reserved for those out of control men and women who run afoul of their employers, spouses and even the law. But I have begun teaching anger management to people who NEVER get angry. It recently occurred to me that the reason some men and a lot of women never express their anger is because they are terrified of what they might do if they allow themselves to feel their anger.  If you are one of those people who smiles when you feel like screaming - if you sometimes feel like a teapot ready to burst - but you manage to control yourself at all times anyway - you could be an Anger Anorexic. Don't bother looking that term up.  It's mine.  And you can expect to hear more about it in the months to come as I delve deeper into what I suspect is a serious contributor to the world's epidemic of depression.  Remember, depression is anger turned in. So learning how to manage anger instead of suppressing it will not only make you a more emotionally balanced person - it could improve your happiness quotient.
This section is reserved for your comments!  This month Jan Van Buyten shares his perspective:

Hi Veronica,

 

I loved your article about "Fear of Sex"

 

I'd like to share a few thoughts I had about some of the topics in this article.

 

We don't talk about it, it removes romance. I could not agree more. One of the pleasures of sex is just that, talk about it. Let your partner know what you like. Some woman might find themselves having a real orgasm instead of having to fake one because they bored or wanted it be over, guy offended, don't waste your time. Hence, if you explore a bit more you might find that there is a lot more to it then just penetration, wouldn't you want to know?

Regarding The Whore/Madonna Complex:

 

The biggest enemy in this all for woman is religion, the ultimate tool to suppress woman all over the world. And all too often also the media, film and tv commercials. . . There is no world peace possible as long as man and woman are not equal and reunited as full partners. Woman discrimination is the worst form of racism.

 

Well said Jan and thank you!  Jan would also like to share his cartoons and movies with you.  Take a short break from your routine and let yourself laugh.  Just click here.
Sincerely,
