It has been so long since I have been able to write anything. Words disappeared for a while. I set this goal, to keep up with my blog, but I struggled. Recently, however, I have been feeling the words start to bubble up. And when I saw the prompt for this weeks Food 4 Thought I realised it’s the perfect place to start. To work towards the old goal which is still present.
The arrival of the wild garlic, Celendines and the first sleepy bumble bees show me that springtime is well and truly here, I’m reminded of mischief in the woods. It feels like time to nudge my blog from it’s hibernation. To make It also has a certain synchronicity given that my last post was also for the same meme. Here is the prompt:
Hopes and Dreams
Times are tough right now but I hope we are all still remembering to hold onto and nurture our Hopes and Dreams. Perhaps your hopes and dreams for the future have changed recently or maybe the inability to act on them during this current climate has intensified your need to realise them once normality resumes.
Over the last five or six years I have come to see that a goal is a dream with a plan. Last year I achieved some amazing goals, some landmark achievements in my vanilla world. On completion of these I took stock, looked for the next landmark and made plans. The plans have been a brilliant way to focus on the here and now, when I see the bigger picture it becomes easier to focus on the smaller details somehow. The restrictions currently in place have really squished my running agenda! But no matter, I will continue to do what I can and look forward to resuming my plans when it is appropriate to do so. It looks like this will mean adding a year on to my timescale. It’s ok, my first 100 miler will just have to wait until 2023! (I have mentioned I’m a masochist, haven’t I?)
Over the last few years I have reconnected with pre-P friends, and also made a lot of new friends. I’ve been welcomed into the kink community with open arms and have found a social circle in the trail running world who seem to share my values of fun and the love of life. While mainly vanilla in my interactions I have a knack for making people open up. Like Runner J and other kinky waifs and strays you will encounter as we go. My goal with these friendships is to give back to them as much love, hope and joy as they bring to my world.
In order to introduce the colourful people that brighten my world I will need to write here regularly. I have missed the blogging community and writing, but been a bit lost for words at times. I certainly feel inspired to continue now. And I think I must be a slow processor as I have been mulling over Eroticon 2019 recently, and believe that I am ready to start implementing the things I have learnt there. If I can take the inspiration and learning, then hopefully I will be able to contribute something beautiful.
You’re never too old to set this goal. We can always look for a new place to branch out, diversify, challenge ourselves to be better versions of who we are.
For those important people in my world. We all have tasks, and I am grateful for this pause, these restrictions. It has given me a chance to reflect on life in general, but also as a submissive, and even more importantly a mum.
Life is all about the lessons we can learn along the way. Is there always a silver lining? To find one when hopes, dreams and goals are in limbo will feel like I’m winning. I shall enjoy the opportunity to nurture relationships remotely with all of the lovely folk who fill my world with sunshine. I am also excited to have so much time to learn with my children. To have playtime when they/we are not tired and cranky from a busy, busy day. Also really finding the time to get to know the lovely boys they are growing into.

I think we all should always have hopes and dreams, and especially now should hang onto them, as the future is so uncertain, the world an upside down place. It's good to see you writing again.
Love your image!

Thank you Marie. It is a joy to be writing again. When the world is wonky it helps to have an anchor. These goals are, I think, my way of holding my position.
I hope you are well xx

Thank you May x
It's definitely the healthiest way forward for me.
Welcome back :)
Thank you 🙂
I love that picture. Rope fascinates me, because to me, it always looks sexy but very uncomfortable.
Thank you 😊Rope is delicious! It can be sexy AND uncomfortable, but while I love sadistic rope I also love predicaments and lovely, gentle rope hugs. Plenty of avenues to explore.
I enjoyed this post. A lot. And this photo is something.
Thank you Elliot. I can't believe it's been a year since this picture was taken, but it felt right to pick up where I left off.
a beautiful carefree hopeful picture. I hope your spring continues with all that joy and abandonment
It looks to be turning out that way 😊
Oh I love rope but you’re very brave to be doing this outdoors! Brrrr
It doesn't feel chilly when the adrenaline is pumping, I promise!
Oh my, this is amazing. At first I thought you were doing like a tarzan swing until I noticed your foot tied too. Looks like a predicament almost, certainly an over time uncomfortable position
The tie itself felt so natural and comfortable, it wasn't until late the following day that I realised why my shoulders were aching!
I always have so much fun with this friend when we catch up for ropey walks.
