Greetings!
Divine. What does the word mean to you?
For some it is a direct reference to a deity. To others, "divine" denotes positive qualities such as good, beautiful, magnificent, delightful, heavenly or perfect.
When I use the word, I am referring to that quality which is sacred, set apart from the more mundane aspects of our daily life.
What we consider sacred is usually dedicated or devoted exclusively to a single use, purpose, or person. It is worthy of respect.
This might denote the way you connect with a partner, as in Sacred Sex which was referred to by the ancients as a Doorway to the Divine. Or it might evoke the role of women in bygone eras as in The Divine Feminine.
In my heart, the word "Divine" arouses a passion for meaning, substance and importance. I feel called to step out of survival, accumulation and egoistic pursuits and into my purpose for being.
This month, I invite you to join me in two events pertaining to The Divine. Together, let us explore how that word and the concepts it contains, can create more meaning, passion and creativity in our lives, our connections, our vocations and our avocations.

There exist concrete, proven solutions to a violent society. Those solutions are largely ignored because of cultural taboos and religious prohibitions. But the things which are taboo, are the very things which could save us! If our species is to survive, we must evolve toward an enlarged consciousness of what is possible. Where will we find our antidote to a mean world?
Please join me for an exploration of how gender, sex and violence interact as well as novel answers to peace on earth such as the council of lesbian grandmothers. Come prepared to get your paradigm shifted!
I will be presenting as part of The 1st Conference on Earth-Based, Nature-Centered, Polytheistic & Indigenous Faiths hosted by the Pagan Alliance. The 2011 Theme is Gender & Earth-Based Spiritualities and this all-day event will examine the interrelationship of Earth-based spirituality and gender. Presentations, workshops and panels will address the Construct of Dualism,Transgender Issues, Men's Mysteries, Queer Mysteries, Womyn's Mysteries, Gender & Indigenous Beliefs,Gender in the Spiral of Life, Genderqueer Thealogy, Gender & Minority Faith Parenting.

Baby Steps Toward Positive Change
The most difficult obstacle we all face is our own resistance to change. We absolutely need change if we are going to grow, progress and maintain or improve our emotional, sexual and physical health. It isn't possible to thrive if you are attached to habits of thought or behavior.
Flexibility and adaptability are required in order to obtain the results we crave, yet we are more likely to find excuses for the way we think and behave instead of risking the discomfort of learning a new thought or action.
If you want to move past the habits and emotions which are keeping you stuck, you first have to assure yourself that you won't ask too much too soon. Take change one step at a time and reward yourself for every step forward that you take. Make learning new things fun and minimize the fear factor.
Be gentle AND firm with yourself. No excuses. But no limiting or demoralizing self-talk either. Be your own best cheerleader and coach. Whether you are attempting to learn better ways to deal with your anger or you are endeavoring to overcome an addiction, you will need both strokes and strong leadership.
It makes sense to seek this from others who have the recovery you want and/or trained professionals who can give you specific exercises to help build the strengths and shifts in thinking required to effect change.
I use a very successful combination of education and role playing which will increase your passion for your partner(s) and just about everything else. Email me or text 415.407.2932 today!

Readers Respond
Hi Veronica,
I finally got the chance to pick up your book. Just finished it.
What a charming book! (just like you) It is refreshingly genuine. (also like you)
You and I have the same perspectives on sex. I don't want to write my own book here in an email, but so much of what you have written resonates completely. I have the same approach to sex. I make a safe space for my lover to be who s/he is in bed and I absolutely guard that special space. I don't fake orgasms. I had to chuckle as advice after advice that you give are things I do (that guys don't usually get from other ladies, unfortunately).
It amazes me how many guys have told me that I am the first person they slept with who wanted the lights on. I give the same genital anatomy lesson you do, and I love the looks of wonder (and maybe feeling like they are getting away with something) on guy's faces when I reveal my vulva. I can tell from the naive questions they ask that I am clearing up confusions they didn't even know they had about female anatomy.
Since adulthood I've been on the plump side and I've struggled with body issues since I don't look like a magazine ideal, but I don't have any trouble getting dates-- you are right about sexual confidence being more attractive than a particular body type and that men usually have different personal tastes than the anorexic adolescent society ideal.
I really enjoyed your book and identified with it.
When I was a young adult for a while I only dated women, and it AMAZES me to think of all the comments I heard from heterosexual women about their men! How the penis is ugly and balls are disgusting, how they only go down to get something, how they would never touch themselves "down there," how they endure sex. I became for a while the Lesbian Defender of Men--if sex is so horrible for you, why do you do it? If you are repelled by male genitalia, why touch them? I felt so bad for these poor men.
Thankfully I never had sex with men until it was something I really wanted. I am grateful that I was able to work out my issues with sex before I started having it, especially after hearing from my friends and acquaintances about years of bad sex or women who couldn't even orgasm.
Unfortunately society does not reward women embracing their own sexuality, and women also have the very real fear of getting the "slut" double standard imposed if they revel in their own juiciness. I am delighted whenever I meet other women--you!--who embrace their sexuality with both arms and then open up their spirits to it, even turning early damage into something healthier and more profound than most regular people experience.
Thanks for sharing this book with the world.
Agnes
