"When you open your mind and hands and heart to the knowing of a thing, there is no room in you for fear"

I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here.
There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.

I've had some interesting encounters on IRC this week. My old life bumping into the new. I revived a channel I started last year for some friends. I wanted some of my long-time friends to meet the submissives I'm seeing here. Having friends from all over the country meeting in one place was nice. Being in an online forum where I have met all the people in real life is refreshing. No cyber trolls, no melodrama. Just real conversation with real friends as if we were sitting around for coffee in my living room. Except that the odds of getting them all in the same city at the same time are miniscule. I tried to entice a few others to join us, but they were busy.
I'm hoping the channel continues. I like keeping in contact with people I respect and love. The ones who know how to make me laugh. The ones who know I can push their buttons and push mine right back. The people who make me smile just thinking about them and more than a little sad when I know it will be weeks or months or years til I see them again. The ones who make me think about what I feel and believe and know. The ones who can tell me I'm wrong without making me feel like I'm stupid. Some of them may have problems. Some of them may get into moods that drive me crazy. I do, at times, roll my eyes or make excuses to get away from their little ploys for attention or "pity me" parties. Overall, however, they are more sane and healthy and enjoyable than the random twits you encounter in most chat rooms. These people are real to me, even if I'm unreal to the rest of IRC.
Maybe I just like the fact that it's my channel and that makes me Goddess.
