Greetings!

We all suffer from some sort of shame. It cripples us in a myriad of ways. Some shame is obvious such as sexual shame which can lead to an inability to enjoy sex. Other forms of shame are hidden from our immediate awareness. For instance, you might feel shame because you haven't lived up to your full potential but rather than face that you may be projecting your shame onto others in the form of judgments and criticisms. 

Healing shame is a huge topic. I certainly won't do the topic justice with this one newsletter.  But as part of an ongoing mission to eliminate shame, I can offer you shame busting articles such as the two you will find below. The first is brand new and the second was so popular last month, I am offering it again this month. 

Please enjoy!  And don't forget to email your comments for inclusion in next month's newsletter!

Family Friendly Prostitution?

A brand new television show is airing on the Lifetime Channel. That is not a particularly earth shaking announcement unless you examine the program's premise: a like-able wife and mother resorts to providing "happy endings" to her massage clients in order to support her family and avoid foreclosure on their mortgage.

But what is perhaps most surprising, is that this latest entry in sex work as television entertainment portrays both the reluctant prostitute and her clients as average, one might even say normal, human beings.

Is it by accident or design that the show's producers created a scenario where our heroine prostitute lends her wisdom and compassion to help mend a marriage? [read more]

From Your Tango: What Makes Women Vulnerable To Hate Speech?   

We expect filth and stupidity to emanate from the likes of Rush Limbaugh. But his recent verbal barrage against Georgetown University law student, Sandra Fluke, has created consternation and concern for otherwise hardened reporters and practiced pundits. It would seem the only individuals who have evidenced a tolerance for this sort of diatribe are FOX news commentators and Republican presidential candidates such as Mitt Romney who proffered a milquetoast "It's not the language I would have used."

I deplore Rush Limbaugh's use of the words "slut" and "prostitute." Yet I have been publicly referring to myself as a slut, a prostitute and whore for decades. In fact, I once told Howie Mandel during a guest appearance on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect, that I preferred to be called a "whore." Why would I say such a thing? [read more] 

I use a very successful combination of education and role playing to increase connection and compassion. Email me or text 415.407.2932 to learn more.

Women are so wonderful. Our beauty courts creation at its most elemental level. It abolishes anger, subverts repression, and calms everyone down. There is no energy that competes with an ecstatic moment of beguilement. When a woman enjoys orgasm as a spiritual responsibility, she follows herself in a more elemental way- using seduction as a martial art. As prayer.

Totally agree with you about dogs.  I hate puppy mills, there are plenty of them here in Florida.  Hate seeing dogs tied up outside.  I think the human/animal connection may spill over to other species as well.  I was looking at a house for sale on the river yesterday, still occupied, had a lone parrot in a cage.  I never saw such a sad face, the bird looked at me but was quiet.  I felt terrible for the poor bird.  Unlike dogs, other species generally do need some like company.  I wish there were two parrots in that cage.  Otherwise, leaving the bird alone all day while you are a work is not cool, birds are social creatures.

Your workshop was HUGE for us, and we wish we had had it at the beginning of our marriage.  It would have prevented a lot of the very explosive and emotionally intense interactions that have been the bane of our relationship.  The agreements for safety that we learned from you went into effect right away and our connection has as a result improved more in the few months since your workshop than in all the years before.
