~Abstract~

I want to write but I am tired and irritable. I have a thousand thoughts on a hundred essays swirling in my brain, but each time I try to pull a cohesive idea together it falls apart before I get settled into it. When I am writing, I am peaceful. When I am unable toContinue reading “~Abstract~”

~Personality~

The Type A Personality: “The theory describes a Type A individual as ambitious, rigidly organized, highly status conscious, can be sensitive, care for other people, are truthful, impatient, always try to help others, take on more than they can handle, want other people to get to the point, proactive, and obsessed with time management. PeopleContinue reading “~Personality~”

~Cheater~

I was getting ready for a date, in that slow, enjoyable manner that girls mostly love, when they are allowed to pamper themselves. My daughter was quietly watching, with a lipstick in one hand, and a small mirror in the other. “Who is your date with? Special Man Friend?” she says. “Nope”, I say, “aContinue reading “~Cheater~”

~Search~

Someone found their way to Poly Nirvana, by using the search term “relationships scare me”. (They scare me too, friend. They scare me too.)

~Microscope~

So this happened yesterday: My little blog got reviewed…. Initially I was suspicious. My throat got tight, and I could feel my heartbeat speed up. (Also, I kind of wanted to throw up.) Intellectually, I know there are real people who read what I write, and have opinions. I am absolutely sure that some DearContinue reading “~Microscope~”

~Tears~

“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love.” ~Washington Irving

~Hit~

I have been waiting (with bated breath, yes) for this new little blog of mine to hit the magic number of 5,000 visits. Today, It. Has. Happened. I want balloons and confetti to drop on my head! (Okay, not confetti. That stuff lingers. I’d be pulling it out of my curls next month.) I alwaysContinue reading “~Hit~”

~Word~

Oh, how I love words. Words hold power. A word can instantly represent a thought, an idea, a concept. I find language fascinating and beautiful. All at once, a word can mean different things to different people, and there is no better example of this than when learning the language of PolyLand. Let’s look atContinue reading “~Word~”

~Out~

Special Man Friend thinks that we should be out to my family and kids as polyamorous. What that means for me, is that my children, who know know him as my almost-two-year-boyfriend, would have to reconcile the fact that I am very much in love with him…and that his wife is okay with that. NotContinue reading “~Out~”

~Random~

Poly Nirvana has been seen in 58 countries. I don’t even know what to say about that. ~Ginger
