WTG: A Masochistic Approach: My Left Testicle? – Part III

  This post is part three and I think the final part of the three part Masochistic Approach To Giving articles (links: Part I and Part II). One of the realizations I had while writing Part II of the series was the different perspectives that women and men would have on the articles. It actually [...]

WTG: A Masochistic Approach: My Left Breast – Part II

This post is a second part to the post I recently made about my little breast cancer scare. In this post I plan to write what the original post was going to be about before that first call that told me things were not “alright.” The topic I had originally planned was “ways to give” [...]

Lost (by Danaeah B.)

This post dives into my review of some of the tools and what conclusions [...]

A Brief History of Zen – Rinzai and Soto

Once again, the Second Life discussion group has brought up some topics that I had begun a article about (funny how that to works). This one was scheduled to be posted later in the week, but the timing seem right for now. This post describes a little more in text than timeline the origins of [...]
