7 Months of Brahmacharya

At 34 years old I am in my sexual prime as a woman. I think nasty thoughts as often as the average man (which mass media has informed us is about every 5 minutes...something like that). Stepping out of the shower and seeing my naked body turns me on and when I am near my ...

I am not chasing anyone or anything anymore

Week  6 Post-Brahmacharya In my quest for equality, I am at the point where I no longer assume the victim role. I am in charge of my own destiny and no one can define who I am but me. I may look like a female Puerto Rican, but the content of my brain ...

Juggling Lovers

Week 5 Post-Brahmacharya My last week in the apartment with my great roommate. Who knows how often I will see her after I move out? She became my first friend in DC. I want to buy her a spa gift. Something special since she works so hard and doesn't get a lot of credit or recognition. I ...

Do I Look Like A Prostitute?

Week 4 Post-Brahmacharya I have a date with the Brazilian tonight. He has a ticket to see a singer from the favelas and he says I can "pay him back with drinks, kisses or back scratching." The fact that I even have to "pay him" digs into ...

I could soar if I didn’t get so hung up on the details and obstacles

Week 3 Post-Brahmacharya Ended up doing yogalates in Dupont Circle and then going to dinner with the Brazilian afterwards. Ivy league educated. Used to trade steel. He is headed to Asia for a month to solve their carbon problems. He is light energy. I didn't like his aggressive approach to me the ...

Practicing Independence From Co-Dependence

Week 2 of Post-Brahmacharya I have spent the weekend meditating and writing at my friend's house in Alexandria. I escaped the city on Friday - literally. I had all the B-O-Yz hollerin at the same time and I had to beat them off like they were a pack of dogs. This shit could get ...

The same problems will follow me no matter where I go

Week 1 Post-Brahmacharya After reading what I wrote back in March about my boss not trusting me and my co-workers not liking me, it appears that the situation has not changed and I would rather not spend more time and energy with people who are so short-sighted and unable to allow people to do ...

The Love Economy

Week 21 of Brahmacharya Over the holiday weekend, my soul mate and I worked on a project together. We put the "Love Economy" into practice. All this time I thought the end of the story was going to be my birthday. But then my soul mate reminded me that I should stop focusing on ...

Who Will Help Me Break My Celibacy?

Week 20 of Brahmacharya My soul mate decided not to spend my birthday with me. He has to shoot a wedding. How ironic? He is clearly not interested in pursuing anything with me right now. Fine. Do I stop living? No. How do I spend my birthday? I can do anything I ...

Continuing the Story

Week 19 of Brahmacharya I am sitting in the airport waiting to return to DC after a full weekend in Miami. I don't feel sad or anxious or pissed. It's just my life. And I think I like it. At least today I do. I wanted to go straight to my soul mate's place as ...

Back to Miami

Week 18 of Brahmacharya I am going home this week. Finally. After four months of working, learning, stretching, swimming, creating, writing, cooking and healing, I am going back. It's just for a 3-day weekend. But my heart beats faster just thinking about it. I will be with my soul mate again. I had a dream last ...
