Power in us

November 18 2017

And when we meet again, some time after the storms have come to an end, we will sit close and share those thoughts which are best said in person. With the clarity of time and reflection we will know the answers to the questions foremost in our minds, without having to explain or to seek. It is then we know our true friends, those people whose minds have wandered the same labyrinths and emerged trembling with the power of self reflection and self knowledge. Those are the people who you need in your life; the ones whose journeys have made them stronger, who share themselves when you are most ready to receive their message. (Quoted from original writing by MsJonesy.....she does a lot of writing when not lurking here 😊) Who have been the powerful people in your life, the one/s who have been the inspiration, the one/s who have given you insight at the perfect time? It could be a wholesale change in your life, or a slight veer in direction, or an awakening of your sexual self. (You dont have to name them, or describe their part in your life, just their impact).

(No1), My sexual awakening was very early... from there and I learned to enjoy sex 'with myself initially'. I was having multiple orgasms before I had pubic hair! It started a lifelong interest in sex and how our body works. It led to a lifetime fascination with sex, which I guess is why I'm still here, in the fora... (sex is better then ever lately too! Privacy in the house helps!) I had tumultuous teens and early 20's till I met met the Mr (MainMan). Then we set out on a rocky road together. Whew! That was a lifesaver. I thought I was a rock but he became my island. I know I do go on, sorry but it's true. That's 2 powerful people I can tie together in this story, No3 was the one married to the (No1), they taught me so much about emotional blackmail and helped set me on a road to questioning rather than accepting abusive behaviour towards me. Then there are many random people who are a part of my life now, some from childhood days through to the one's who made it to my facebook from here and still remain. Their presence reassures me that humanity has a chance despite my cynicism and experiences. I've always been precocious and I thank the early effects for the ability to know how good I have it now. Above all, I thank my (MainMan & Randoms) for being the reason I have faith in mankind. Peachy

Jonesy, that is beautiful. xoxo It sounds cliched, but my partner is the one who helped me navigate the complex maze I was struggling with when I first met him. He’s the one who helped me claim the courage to change my life. He inspires me every day. He’s my king, my best friend, my soul mate, and my lover, and I adore him. I’m so grateful for the powerful role he plays in my life. There is also a wonderful couple in my life, who are wonderful friends and extremely important to me despite our distance. They have such an open, honest, genuine relationship with each other, and I have found that so inspiring. Before I separated from my ex-husband they were a wake-up call to me - I saw what they had, knew it was what I wanted, and slowly came to the realisation that I wasn’t going to get it with him. They’ve been kind and supportive, and wonderful to talk to, and have really helped me open my eyes to the possibilities of what happiness with someone else can look like.

That's also where I learned the power of No. It was a powerful moment that I have never let go of. Peachy
