Let's talk about sex (after) baby

17/10/2017

0 Comments

 
This month I've have been released from Facebook and had Sex on my mind!  As you will no doubt be aware I am not active on facebook, and this is my alternative to a facebook group.  My reasoning for leaving facebook is here.  It has been difficult to fully leave Facebook, as I had an account in 'stasis', which was keeping my page visible.  Very randomly in late September, the profile was reactivated.  The message I received informing me of my reentry also informed me I was receiving a 7 day ban for a nude image.  The offending image was deleted (I don't know what it was, as it has been a year since I've had access to this profile, but I imagine it involved a nipple).  The ban prevented me from interacting on Facebook, but did allow me to schedule the page and profile for deletion.  So it is with great joy that I am being released from what has not been a positive experience.  

I AM SO EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE:
This last month has seen me busy with redesigning and formatting of The Bookready for Publishing!  It will soon be available through Lulu Publishing as an ebook and in print.  I am awaiting the proof of the print book, so we are very close to launch.  LAUNCH!  Should we have a launch party?????

IN MY TWITTERSHERE
I have a twitter, which you can follow,  which I use to keep on top of topics that I feel passionate about.  This month I had some insightful interactions with birth workers around the world, discussing 'Birth Plans'.  The Sex topic came up several times (inspiring the above blogpost) and #waitforwhite was an active hashtag.  ​
Destination: Braidwood
Braidwood is all set to become the premier Babymoon Destination!

FREE EVENTS: 
 
I alternate between Canberra and The South Coast for these casual gatherings.  The next tentative dates are Nov 25th in Mollymook and Dec 9th in or near Canberra.  These will be weekend events, so that weekday workers can come and you can bring your entourage.

Do you think we should have a book launch party?
