Happy Summer!!!

Dog Days of Summer have begun Most working moms are exhausted this time of year. The kids are over school. The uniforms have holes in them and the book bags are held together with duct tape. And then, just like that, Memorial Day comes to help us cope with what we have to do. It gives us a reprieve to prepare for the summer--a less structured life filled with longer nights and more fun.  

Burlesque isn't just a dance...


Recently, a friend read this blog. He enjoyed it, but he thought that it would be better if I revealed more about myself. Initially I was surprised by his comment. Then, I realized that he must have taken the blog's tag line to heart. I do claim that this blog is about my life, desires and dreams. Lately, there have been tales about my life and the lives of those I know. I have also provided my take on current events. However, I have included very little about my desires and dreams.

I have been holding back. I have hinted at what I really want and what thrills my soul, but I have refrained from going into too much detail. According to my friend, frequently, my hints have been too subtle.

To be sure, I never intended this blog to be a diary or a confessional. My nature is to be private while sharing a pre-determined list of public intimacies. For a time, I specialized in keeping people at a distance while making them believe that they had penetrated my soul. I wrote the blog the same way, somewhat like “writing burlesque”. I would show enough to entice, but save what really mattered. Based on my friend’s comments, I may have forgotten how to tease…

Like life, the blog is frequently an exercise in deciding what to share and what to save. I think that I can afford to share a little more without giving up all of the goods. Like I wrote last fall, I crave a life that feeds my soul and fills me with passion. Hopefully soon, I will experience the manifestation of that desire and take you on a more intimate journey with me. One that will entice you to keep wanting more…

Stay tuned!!!
