:) 

I was in a restaurant last night and could remember a year ago thinking what
could I afford off the menu. It was a grinding time trying to grow up a
business and minimise all my outgoings. 

I grinned profusely after thinking how I now could afford any dish on the
menu and enjoy it too! As I ate I thanked all of the people I could think of
that helped me to enjoy that moment.

Well possibly. If and when I have the time, perhaps I can make a web face to
it and point to the board. There are other discussion groups out there I've
found that cover BDSM from alternative perspectives.

I'm not sure if link exchanges would help. Lets see if I can commit a day to
this in the next month and try and make it into something more accessible.

Yes, you wrote this:

=>  The K-Goddess yahoo list for Kundalini and alternative sexuality became 
a private Bulletin board on domin8rex.com. I would love to see you there!

LOL. When I think about it that's funny. Like there are just memories and
experiences of being an I (for Identity). 

Could always rename 'about the author' to 'the authors biography'.

How's it? Actually I like the Mac (seems fun and friendly) but I'm so used
to Wintel that it's easier to stick to the knitting I know.

If you need me to make it into a PDF book that I can do. I'm not sure how
well it will hold for your intention to have lessons worked through
sequentially. Maybe the web / CD is the best format although sometimes I
prefer to read away from the screen. Would a notice on the front to say
don't skip the lessons work?

Hmmm.. but then might as well stay on HTML. PDF is more geared for frozen
content in my experience.

Let me know if it's still a requirement and I'll dig around a bit and find
something that can work well on your book.

It's fun!
