I’m so excited to announce I’ve finally posted a new Rant to my website. This one is titled “The Ultimate Erogenous Zone: Sex, Love, and the Brain.” Please check it out on my site by clicking here.
This one was a long time in coming, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was the level of research required to do the subject justice. I’ve been reading books and articles about the human brain, and the way sex, love, sexuality and gender are expressed on a neurochemical level. It’s been really intriguing, and now that I’ve finished, I find myself still wondering about how much of our experience is purely chemical, how much we have control over, and where spirit or soul enters into the equation. I imagine I’ve got more reading to do. 
I’m very excited to be back to work on the Rants. I have four more to write, and then I plan on doing a rewrite of the entire thing… and then I’ll be looking at publishing. I feel so good when I’m writing, and I’ve realized (duh!) that this really needs to be my primary focus. I have so many projects I want to work on. My goal is to focus on the Rants, but if I “just don’t feel like it,” I’ll work on one of my other projects. One of the next is a book exploring the spiritual lessons that come not from meditation or prayer, not from positive healthy living, but from exploring and living in the Darkness. The idea is that the universe is in all things, and even if we walk away in the opposite direction from a spiritual path, if we travel long enough, we come back to it anyhow. The world is round.
I’ve also been losing weight and exercising, which feels fantastic, and is an important part of my life these days. I joined a Meetup group called Communidance, and I’ve been dancing once a week. I find that dancing nonstop for 50 minutes has become a kind of meditation for me, utterly grounding, really bringing me into the present. I found an appreciation for my body that I didn’t have before. It’s been really powerful. What’s interesting is that I found the experience to be really spiritual, before I learned that it’s based on the work of Gabrielle Roth, and designed to be a spiritual and meditative experience. Ms. Roth’s work is clearly powerful and effective.
I’m excited about the changes in my life and look forward to sharing more soon!
