When you look at it from a positive angle, I wouldn't be where I am today if the relationship hadn't ended. I went into an immediate emotional talespin and then made a decision to take a series of love, sex and intimacy workshops. In 2005 I flew all over the country taking workshops every other month and ended up taking 6 workshops. This year I've taken one. My experiences with those workshops were transformational for me. AND I AM STILL GROWING. What's exciting is that I am excited about sex and intimacy. Out of these workshops also came a book that I wrote called SEXY LOVE AFFIRMATIONS-affirmations is the form of recipes for creating greater, love, sex and romance in relationships.. My book was published in January of 2006.

My story began in childhood. Although I was raised by a wonderful loving Jewish mother, I took on her guilt and negative feelings about sex. I grew up believing that sex was "bad" and not to be enjoyed. I was raised by a mother who taught me to be ashamed of my imperfections-my funny toes, my curly hair, etc. She was saying silently-cover up, hide your body I believed in what she was trying to tell me until I discovered the nudist lifestyle and the freedom of being ME-not having to be perfect. Although the nudist lifestyle has nothing to do with sex, it has helped me to accept my body.
