The Year 2024: Time to Press the Reset Button

Greetings, Like most people, I am planning to take the opportunity to use the beginning of our new calendar year to press the reset button to re-orient myself so that I am more aligned with how the Lord desires me to proceed with the remainder of my life at the strategic level…

I love working with Thurston and helping him expand his voice. In person, he’s warm and inviting but his writing has a clinical side to it. I’m pushing him to use more of his natural self in his newsletters. He’s also planning his next series of books. That’s right, a Phulasso series. He’s retiring from his full-time employment and dedicating himself to Phulasso.

Thurston pushes me to maintain my spiritual health and it’s Nancy Scott who drives the practical side of my life. Nancy has contributed to Not an Able-Bodied White Man with Money, allows us to distribute her out-of-print chapbooks Leveling the Spin and Hearing the Sunrise, and will hopefully have a special project for Parisian Phoenix maybe for 2025. Life is too daffy, as she would say, to facilitate that right now.

Nan is a mentor to me in life, finances, disability and writing and my partner-in-crime for minor adventures that bring us both laughter and joy. She shared an email with me that she got from one of her writing groups.

The email encouraged everyone to sit with their 2023 calendar, page through and jot down/reflect upon the big events of your year. Savor the successes. Contemplate the challenges.

And with that information, Olivia, contributor to our erotic anthology, Juicy Bits: Stories of BDSM, Fetish and Kink, has found for you a free tool that is both reflective and intentional, it’s the “YearCompass.” And voila, click here. It’s British so we Americans can feel posh.
