MUSTANGE hayyy

bit late for this conversasion moved on but it took me a while to think what i wanted to say especilly since i couldn't get past my own sence of humer ie would't bother me if my partner wore that type of underware....

Impresive thing is you understood accepted what he wanted and then try to find a happy medium by buying him same material....

i was wonderring how i would manage if i found out my partner was keeping some part of them secrite and acting out on it in secrite.....

i thnk what you did how you handled it showed great acceptances and sensitivity, despite how you may or may not felt about it...

If i am ever in same type of position (diffrent subject) i hope i would rember you'r example

thanks for the wisom

There is a lot to be said Ladies for the liberation of letting go of body consciousness. It is a relatively new concept to me and before I was just a head with nothing else!! I read a very insightful book called "The Mirror Within", written by an American author whose last name was Dickson....I was transformed by the experienc and would recommend every woman should read it. If you google it you will find the full name and details.

I've thought about how the key was changing myself and my expectations and being certain for the first time in my life about who and I and what I wanted/would not tolerate in a relationship. When I raised my self-esteem and my bar on expectations concering a mate, that's when the doors opened and wow...there he was...waiting for me.
I'd LOVE to write a book about it but where in the world would I start? Any suggestions?

your quote says, Don't be afraid...get excited ....there ye go for a title for starters.
What about getting all our boomer sisters to submit a poem, short story or piece of art, etc...and then you could do an anthology on the topic, asking Dotsie to read the work anonamously to pick a title....eh???

I am sure we all have our own tale to tell.

Popea

Wow...the coffee is kickin'in this mornin'
A Boomer Book...with all profits going to a deserving charity???

Popea

OMG! Popea! That is an exciting idea! And I love your title suggestion!!!! I wish I had more time to delve into this further. I'll be thinking about it, though, and when everyone is asleep, I'll check back in.

Hannelore, everyone is asleep...bar us pet!!! Yeah...I think it is a cracker of an idea....pass it on incase people miss it hon.

Got Your joke by the way.

popea, The reason I launched this site was to give boomer women a voice. My intention was to create an anthology sharing stories from our generation of women. I have an agent who tried selling the book to many major publishing houses in the US, but no one was interested. I know there are other ways to get published, but since I have an agent, I am listening to her. Now that my platform has grown, we are trying again. For the most part, publishers want to know how you are going to sell your book. It's all abouat the almighty dollar and how much they can make from the sale of your book. Sad, but true.

Dots

I can't beleive that interest was limited ...in your forums for the short while that I have been around...I have read a great many wonderful, insightful, witty, thought prevoking things. Its always about money...what a shame.

Popea

Dots, none of my business but have your agent try some of the smaller houses. They are more open and take more of a special interest in their authors. Plus, write down every single speaking gig you've had and every interview you've done, radio, media, seminars. Show just how you can push a book, along with the writers of the book.
