Book Meme

I am always reading. Often I am reading more than one book on any given day. The book that has caught my attention most recently, and very close at hand is The Ethical Slut. So that is the book I will use for this meme. It's nothing like what I expected and is an informative read.



See rules below for joining me on the meme. I never find 5 willing to take part, so I invite one and all to contribute.



My contribution for this particular time around is from The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton & Catherine A. Liszt. Following the picture is my excerpt. And following the excerpt is the rules.




One of the things peole get out of multiple relationships is the chance to be all of their various selves. When two people meet, they relate where they intersect, where they have complementary roles in similar scripts. So, being different things to different lovers, we might find ourselves having different boundaries, limits and relationship styles in different circumstances.

That might manifest in a variety of ways. For instance, I might be calm and centered when Lover A is angry, but Lover B's irritablity is distressing to me - it "pushes my buttons," perhaps reminding me of a past lover or a punitive parent. In this case I need to own my buttons, and figure out if my limits with Lover B are going to be different from my limits with Lover A.



Rules: 1. Grab the nearest book of 123 pages or more. 2. Open it to page 123. 3.Find the first 5 sentences and write them down. 4.Then invite 5 friends to do the same. Even though I am not putting any names down, CONTRIBUTE! All of you. PLEASE!




I tried this book meme thing once before, so If you'd like to see that...just scroll to the bottom of the page. I used an excerpt from Aileni's e book that time. You should check that out, just because his book is so well written and fascinating.


Feel free to post your book meme on my comments, if you don't want to post them on your own blog.









N is for... nap


Cozy and so Comfy
I'll snuggle next to you
Playing can wait a while
I've nothing better to do

I dream of little brother
He gives his toys to me
I take his yellow truck
He giggles withsuch glee

My pretty little sister
Thinks she makes me mad
But I love to see her happy
She really isn't bad

We snuggle up with Mommy
And dream our little dreams
This feels just like heaven
It's later than we'll scream!


Bren and the twins are taking a nap together.

For a purple post, this is really stretching it, but isn't the purple on this African Violet just beautiful! What can I say? At least the basket is purple. I had to find a good reason to post this cute pic of Baby Damion. Isn't he cute. Know what's funny? He looks like Grace did when she was a baby.

Do you know the name for these? Or anythng about them? AND...work work work work work









Did you see the pictures at the very beginning? I want to know if anyone knows what the name of these are. Thank you very much. The tree with the red flowers is beautiful. I have no idea what it is though. Mimosa, I am thinking. There's a pink on on the other side of the garden too. The other picture posted here is of a shrub. No leaves yet, just these pretty flowers with a tea fragrance.
