		<description><![CDATA[So, you see, dear readers, I am at yet another begin again crossroads. That law firm job I got in January that I was so stoked about? Totally bad fit. I won't get into the specifics, but after about a month of thinking it was going well, it just wasn't. And I was miserable and working really hard. Certainly not making enough money to be worth the amount of stress I felt. And so, after three and a half months, I am going my own way again. As a Capricorn overachiever I can be very committed to things and get mired into it even if I am not enjoying it.

It was a shock when it happened but the relief and peace I have felt since it was decided I wouldn't be working at the firm anymore told me this was the right path. Decision making is a self-correcting process, I believe that even when you make a choice there is guidance about that. If you make the wrong choice, there will be a gentle (and then not so gentle) nudge away from it until you get on the path you're meant to be on. Sort of like when I was engaged to someone who I know 4.5 years later was a terrible fit but at the time was undeterred and had no perspective. That was a self-correcting process. And, even though it was devastating at the time, I feel great about the life I have now.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine got me this in pink once. Adam &#038; Eve has it in black or red for $9.95. It's great because it sticks to itself and if you're not a very good knot person (unlike me, I was a Girl Scout) and want to play with bondage it is a great tool. **Safety first! Always have good scissors on hand--medical scissors recommended. And play with a safe word.**

I have to say that in lieu of having someone to play or have sex with, bondage tape makes a great make-shift halter bra when you need maximal cleavage and your back free of straps. Just get a friend to help you and wrap a fairly tight circle around your neck and under your boobs a bunch of time. I have a really cute deep cleavage halter dress and this is a must-have accessory. 

I also like bondage tape for the cute stripes and criss crosses you can make along your body for costume purposes.

		<description><![CDATA[I notice how well a good night's sleep treats me the next day. How much self care there is in turning off the internet at a "reasonable hour", whatever that means. For me that means setting myself up to sleep for 7-8 hours. Feels like a luxury given how much I need/want to accomplish in a given day and how much play time I want to squeeze in there. But accepting my human limitations is one of my great spiritual lessons and, unfortunately, I know that means prioritizing sleep.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am struggling today because someone I "knew" on the internet took their life. <a href="http://markaguhar.com/" target="_blank">Mark Aguhar</a>, who I knew as "<a href="http://calloutqueen.tumblr.com" target="_blank">CallOutQueen</a>."* How did I "know" them? I cruised their blog. I appreciated their incisive wit. I appreciated their vanity and glitter. I <em>loved</em> their art. The juxtaposition of <a href="http://markaguhar.com/#17806858973" target="_blank">"Be ugly/Know Beauty"</a> (this is a genius meditation, if you do that sort of thing). The swish of hair back and forth. Looking dressed when wearing nothing at all. Owning a brown, fat, genderqueer, femme, fag body. Absolute Femme realness at all times. Vulnerability. Stark honesty. Cutting honesty. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Along comes my friend Elisabeth, who pitches herself as an organizational top and volunteered to help me sort my new craft area. It was a really incredible process! She was so kind! So many of those TV shows about organization start with someone mean about people's stuff. But Elisabeth was gentle. Between our time together in my craft area and my bathroom I learned a lot about simple steps to home organization from Elisabeth and I wanted to share them with my readers who are not organizationally-inclined. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book is an empowerment manual for <a href="http://queerfatfemme.com/2012/03/05/get-me-embodied-bevin/">embodiment</a>. It is a road map to learn how to go into your body and get to know yourself on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. I spend at least 6 hours a week diligently working on these connections for myself and there was a lot I learned about myself within the first seventy pages. 

You begin to examine your values, needs and desires are right away. I was really surprised when I was working through my values, since this timing coincides with my thinking and talking about <a href="http://queerfatfemme.com/2012/02/24/balance-priorities-new-lesbian-tea-basket-everyday-glitter/">how I find balance and settle on my priorities</a>. Distilling your core values to six main tenets tells you what your priorities should be, gives you some guidance as to how to align your life. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was first involved with fat activism and radical queer body positive communities I heard the term "disembodied" thrown around a lot without really understanding what it meant. I understood unlearning body shame, body self-hatred, body disempowerment but I didn't understand the distinction from disembodiment. 

I started asking around and my working definition of disembodied is not being present in your body--checked out.]]></description>
