I Feel...
really out of touch with all of you. I know some scoff at the idea that the FemDom blogsphere is a community of sorts, but I think it is. I've wondered what was happening with everyone both in my blog realm and in my group. It's funny how one can come to care about people's lives and their happiness even if they've never met in person.
My friends here at home have been neglected as well. Yesterday I visited the bookstore and some of the "regulars" there were teasing me about being the absent friend. Our bookstore cafe is a bit like Cheers - there's often a group of people there discussing books or current events. Usually it's a mixture of new people we've drawn in and a core of regulars. It was good to feel a connection again.
It feels good to know people understand and are patient. Really - they're more than that. They're very supportive - IF I let them. It's tough for me to accept help or anything else from friends. (Not too Domme-like I guess but it's me nonetheless.) Both Rook and Bill say I try too hard to handle everything on my own. Maybe I do. I'm trying to learn to let go of some control and let others in a bit more.
Speaking of bookstores and books, since I've spent a lot of time in hospitals and Dr's waiting rooms lately, I've had more time to read. I've recently finished Haunted Air and Gateways. Currently I'm reading Crisscross. If you haven't tried the Repairman Jack series, give him a try. The Tomb is the first in the series and well worth the read.
I also picked up a couple of books that featured strong female characters - James Patterson's The Honeymoon and Lisa Gardner's Gone.
The Honeymoon: "How does it feel to be desired by every man and envied by every woman? Wonderful. This is the life Nora Sinclair has dreamed about, the life she's worked hard for, the life she will never give up. Meet Nora Sinclair." (more here)
About Gone, Glamour Magazine said: "Good news: There are no damsels in distress here—the wife, their daughter and a female sheriff all kick-butt. It's a whodunnit until the very end." (more here)

You care because of the type of person you are. You're loving and generous in a world where so many walk right by people in need and never blink.
I took your past recommendation and read the Tomb. I like Wilson's writing even though it is a out there a little. As you've mentioned before, Jack is such a real, strong character that the fantasy is more believable.
ginger sends her love and we both want you to call if there is anything we can do to help you. We've not written or called because we know you're so overwhelmed right now.
Your post has sparked a recent thought I had. Being new to blogging, I guess it may have been done before. But I was wondering how much interest there might be to have an international "get-together" - conference would be too strong a word, where those of us who blog together could meet and discuss a range of topics dear to our hearts.
Maybe it's unrealistic, but from reading and communicating with like-minded souls, I feel a bond with those of us who live and dream the life.
Wouldn't it be great if we could get together in person - people from all over the globe. The U.S would be a logical choice, but talking as someone from the other side of the world, I still think it's feasible.
What do you think?
I've formed some strong and valuable online friendships. Some years old now. We all have time when we need to be or are better off being away from the computer and the web. People who really care will be there when we get back.
Always wishing you the best in all parts of your life.
I too have been gone for over a month (yes, I did shovel tons of snow, but that isn't all; too many projects and not enough time...).
I'm trying to catch up but just thought I would send my very best wishes and have missed reading your blog.
"How does it feel to be desired by every man and envied by every woman?"
That's a question for You Lady Julia. While it may not be every man and every woman it is obvious You are desired by so many men. How does it feel?
subservire, I'm not sure if people would be willing to drop their cloak of anonymity to attend such a gathering, but it's certainly an interesting idea. Perhaps you could post something on your blog to see what sort of interest there might be?
Thank you all for your kind wishes and thoughts. I think of all of you often.
toy - I believe I'll answer your question as a post.
"Both Michael and Bill say I try too hard to handle everything on my own. Maybe I do. I'm trying to learn to let go of some control and let others in a bit more."
I know you and your readers think I'm an ass and disregard most of what I say but how after reading this statement can you even begin to think you are dominant?
