Hello sexy readers, and happy 2022! We’re so glad you’re here with us in the coolest community ever: Sex-Positive Kids! (™)
C’mon, really? Of course we’re sex positive. Who would ever argue that sex should be negative?? Not us, that’s for sure.
How were your holidays? If it’s true that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, then we’re officially wonder women at this point. Moving on…
Did the advice we offered last time help you navigate some of your relationships? These are definitely trying times and add in the holidays- yeesh. Remember that each day gives you the opportunity to do something - anything, really - a little better than you did it yesterday. We like to say that what’s “better” is what enhances your body, mind, and spirit. Your mileage may vary.
Some days are more challenging than others - as are some whole months and years. Here’s a resolution for 2022 that we suggest: practice more gratitude. Somehow, gratitude seems to soften us, and life feels a little easier.
Thank volunteers at CSPC parties - they’re making all that fun you’re having possible. Thank members of the CSPC online groups you attend - they’re giving you support, encouragement, and useful information to help you on your life’s journey. Thank the people who are active on the Discord server - Fleur and Connie and their minions are doing great work building a thriving community. Thank people you meet at munches for helping you meet wonderful people like them at munches. Thank the Board for helping make stuff happen. The CSPC is you and it’s us. Members are doing everything for us - other members.
It’s a funny thing - gratitude seems to be a win-win-win approach to just about any situation. The recipient feels good, you feel good, and life looks a little bit brighter. And, do you know what makes life even brighter? Volunteering. Be the change you want to see in your world. And meet great kinky people while you’re doing it!
A friend of ours wrote a song called “It’s Hard to be Mad When You’re Singing.” It’s true - you can sing and be mad, but it’s hard to do both at the same time. We suggest that it’s hard to be mad when you’re grateful.
Homework: What if you expressed your gratitude 5% more than usual this month? What could happen? Please find out.
