Exposing
I have a post up today at F-Stop: Expose the Naked I, the blog project of Neve Black, Donna George Storey, and Shanna Germain. If you’re not familiar with F-Stop and/or are interested in contributing, I encourage you to check out the site’s statement of intention.
Thank you Donna, Shanna, and Neve for hosting me.
Love,
Emerald

Emerald, thank YOU, for a very thought-provoking and emotionally honest essay. I’ve always admired your stories and your open-minded attitude toward sexuality and spirituality, but now I see how hard-won this has been and I’m all the more in awe of what you’ve accomplished!
I do hope you’ll write the second half of the essay here at some point, as to how you overcame OCD.
Thank you, Donna. I deeply appreciate that—and you.
It was a great post. What an amazing website that F-Stop is turning into…
Thank you so much, Janine.

Oh, I so agree entirely. Even in light of the brilliance of its creators, the site has so exceeded any expectations I may have had. In fact it was having seen the openness, sincerity, depth, and bravery of the contributions to the site before mine that inspired me to write about what I did. I had spoken of and recounted what was in that essay verbally numerous times, but that was the first time I had written on the subject.
Thank you again, Janine, for coming by and for your comments (here and there). Hugs.
