Thread: Do Over

I think sperosi may have something. I love to sew and do just anything with fabric or fiber. While I've taken a few classes; pattern making, tailoring and window coverings, I'm mostly self taught. It's just something I have a feel for. Several times I have done it as a business, I trademarked my own lable once and have taught classes. But whenever I had to do it, I lost interest, it ceased to be fun or pleasure and became a drudgery. I do it very seldom now. I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with taking the creative element out of it.

I have a really keen interest in earth based housing and building, have had as long as I can remember. Somehow I've never done anything with it other than read, talk and look at other people's creations. Since I've been rethinking my life recently, this is something I feel strongly I will have to do something with. Someday if you read about an 80 yr old woman who is hand building a cob house - it may be me.

Another area I am passionate about and becoming more focused with, is sacred sexuality. The old model of frigid woman, phillandering man, didn't work out well, the newer porn sex approach seems doomed to miserable failure, what we need a more balanced, connected, caring, fun attitude toward sex and relationships. I think of it as sacred sex just for lack of a better term, although what currently passes under that name is often a bit flakey for me.

I have a great deal to achieve yet and expect to have another good 50 years to do it in. But I do need to get busy!
