Taboo Abbotsford Day 1
Shortly Jason will be driving out to Abbotsford where you'll find me teaching three classes this evening at the Taboo Sex Show. If you plan on being in any class of mine, show up early, as my workshop room always ends up as standing room only.
Can't wait to see many of you at the show and remember, small gifts of chocolate are always appreciated. : )

Can this really be happening?
This post is likely going to bounce all over the map, as my head is full of half thoughts twirling round and round.
Saturday was the Lounges Valentines Day party --- and by all accounts the night was epic. Out of town guests, a day of bondage classes and great people made the party as awesome as it was. But the day was long, we arrived to the Lounge at 9 in the morning and left at 1:30 the next morning.
There are more than just clients and attendees that attend our events, many of those present are our friends. And this is exactly why days like today can happen, because its easier to hustle for those you care for.
What was so over the top for us was having to pick up Pickle from the babysitters at 2 in the morning, by the time we drove home and got to bed ourselves it was three o'clock.
Sunday we were up early, as we had a day trip to Tulalip, Washington. Our destination, reserve land, and the home of a wise man. Allena had chosen her tribe and called upon us to join her in a special Sweat to offer healing before her surgery. It was memorable and in all honesty, I learned many things that I am not quite yet ready to articulate. Maybe one day, I'll write about what it looked like to be present for such an event, but not now.
I would do anything for Allena, go anywhere for her, topple over anyone in her way, move mountains and cross borders to get to her, reach out and drag her towards me if she needed me, and even give her parts of myself --- we are fam-ily. We drove home along the I5 talking about living and our families plans for life. At 11 last night we pulled into our driveway, absolutely positively spent.
By the time we visited with the teenager who was baking cookies, and the car had been unloaded, all we could do was to crawl into bed. Jason pulled me in tight, his breath almost becoming my own as I inhaled his scent and basked in the glow of his loving support. We are both done in.
Today I recover from the weekend and gather my emotions to support Allena Tuesday as that's her surgery day. Oddly enough the last couple of days, everywhere I look there are signs of what we are journeying through. The breast cancer emblem is everywhere, commercials filled with optimism and joy are on television and I have to say, that there are countless stories of hope. And in that I find strength.

Weekend Reviewed
The past few days have been so busy with events and travel, that I have had hardly any time to sleep at all. In fact, I am so tired as I am writing this, that the nausea is overwhelming. I am not the sort of person able to cat nap and will need to wait it out till this evening, when finally, my head can hit the pillow for an extended period of deep sleep.
Friday night there was a private event at the Lounge and though it was hosted by people we know, certainly, we still had to be there. It was our good friend Stephens birthday and the women in his life had orchestrated a surprise party for the occasion. It was a fun to hang out at LL, with no responsibilities. And an "unusual" incident happened at this event that I plan on writing about in detail, after I have caught up on my rest.
Saturday was the inevitable Costco shopping and then home to load the car. Later in the evening was Sultry and I was working it all by myself. I swear the best nights for our bath house party are always the coldest ones -- I had a wonderful experience and even somehow caught myself in amongst the action more times than I even thought I had the energy for.
By the time I arrived back home and climbed into bed it was already 1:30 in the morning Sunday. So at 6:00a.m. when my alarm went off, I was none to happy dragging my sorry, yet very clean ass, out of bed so soon.
By 7:30 Jason, the baby and myself had picked up S, my demo model in New Westminster and we were on our way to BC Ferries.
Our loaded up car, filled with sex supplies, teaching aids and people, made it onto the 9 am ferry to Victoria. By 11:30 I was completely set up.
Over the course of the afternoon, I taught two different classes, each sold out, to 56 women, in my families home. Then I saw a coaching client for an hour appointment.
And as I came downstairs, I noticed the house was all tidied back up again and the dining room table had been set for family dinner. My mother had made us all a scrumptious dinner to enjoy before we had to drive to catch the 9 PM boat back to the mainland.
Being able to teach in my families home, with my families support, and surrounded by so many passionate friendly people, I can only consider myself as blessed.
At 11:40 at night we arrived home. I had seen more people than I can remember, educated powerfully, driven all over hell and back and still managed to find our way back to our nest. Thankfully.
It's possible to have your cake and eat it too. That kind of sums up my weekend in one mouthful. "I worked hard, I played hard and now, I am going down hard." Well, later tonight, after this one last event that I have to work before a few days of rest and relaxation.

Role Reversal
Sitting in our hotel room in Seattle, we are all unpacked and about to head out for some shopping goodness. Jason has big plans of a couple of Nordstroms and specialty stores today -- I get to play a unique role.
I'll be playing "wife". Sitting outside of the change room in a chair, with the baby, waiting for my man to finish trying on copious amounts of well made clothing.

Coming Home
One of the perks of going away to trade shows is all the swag that is handed out to educators and all the new products we are given to sample.
This weekend has been full of numerous surprises from different manufactures and creators of adult items. I am always pleased to see creative new novelties making there way into the market along with time tested oldies being updated for a fresh appeal.
I am flying home this evening and am returning with one more full suitcase, then what I left with.
A couple of new books that I have to read are exciting me already, a new woman's arousal pill, a few unique vibrators, candles, a mans cock toy, an e-stim item, sexy clothing, some jewelry and a host of others are amongst the freebies thrown at me at the show.
I had planned on taking the arousal pill on the flight home tonight but then thought better of it. Jason deserves to be forewarned before such things take place and I am just too tired after four days off non stop teaching to go home and screw for days on end. Because apparently, the pill has a THREE DAY duration.
It won't be till late, but I will be back in my own bed, in my own home later tonight thankfully.

Frequent Flyer

Calgary Alberta is cold and right now, this is where I am till late Sunday night. I arrived in town yesterday and am here teaching for the Taboo Sex Show. Twelve classes over four days and a bunch of media interviews scheduled as well.
My hotel room was mediocre, but now with a business class upgrade (for free) the next few days will be most glorious in my over sized suite, all by myself.

Lovers Embrace
Home bound. How wonderful it is to be back in my nest with the rest of my family.
Last night as I disembarked from the plane and walked into the airport I was greeted with the most welcoming sight. Jason at eleven at night all dressed up sexy, holding a dozen roses, smiling from ear to ear was awaiting me.
He scooped me up and gathered me in a huge embrace. Being back to the ones I love sure makes my heart swell.
We made the drive home in the dark and I filled him in on the happenings of Taboo Edmonton. Then he took me to bed. And with my head on his shoulder and Jason sighing heavily while moaning how wonderful it is to have me back home, I drift off into a deep sleep.

Edmonton Sex Education: Day 2
The sound system that I am expected to work with sucks. The back ground noise is horrible, the volume competes with another system in the same room and is also finicky.
Some time between yesterdays classes ending and today's beginning my workshop room here in Edmonton goes from one hundred and eight chairs to one hundred and ninety chairs.
Thankfully I feel confident enough in my teaching abilities to work with a low-cost budget head set and to fill every seat in the room.
Day 2 is about to begin.

Drawing to a close
London sex district, we visited many adult stores here.
Berlin tourist walk, just blocks from our hotel. And then Berlins Check Point Charlie which divided the East from the West and behind that, the museum we next spent hours in.
No, we have dropped off the planet. In fact, we are in the US right now in a charming hotel with a full suite.
Tomorrow, we return home to Canada and to our home. What a celebration it will be to climb back into my own bed after seventeen days of travel.
London, Paris and Berlin was a life changing trip for me, my world view has been greatly altered. Plus I learned so much about traveling with a baby and how to navigate through foreign land and languages.
Speaking of wee ones, today Pickle is 6 months old.

My heart swells
When Jason came into my life I was already a worldly woman. I had a child of my own who was a teenager, I had been in love many times and had my broken more times than I care to recount. Relationships had come and gone and with each I grew wiser just a wee bit more.
I come from a very turbulent childhood myself, my family history being sad and not very nurturing at all. I am perhaps what many might call a self made woman. Paying my own way through school and struggling with raising my daughter on my own while aspiring to build a career.
Not owning a home of my own, I was a renter who always had rent money, yet regularly lacked the funds to do much more than the bare basics and had to forgo so much. I was happy but weighed down with worry more than I ever would have shared. The struggle was immense.
Jason met me on the climb up and out of mediocrity. I was aspiring to be more. Building my own business, freeing myself of relationships that were not healthy, creating goals and surpassing them and not at all looking to be partnered with anyone else. I was on a mission to be successful in life and then thought that when I had all it all together, per chance, I just might look for a relationship again.
At public classes of mine, Jason sat in the chairs and took in workshops I taught. I apparently did not notice him for some time, well not personally anyways, just enough though to regard him politely as a student.
At Taboo one year I spotted him walking along and I struck up a random conversation with him. I asked him out on a date. I was not looking for a relationship of any sort, just interested in a good time with no strings attached.
What I wanted and what I got are two very different things.
I fell in love in a way that defies me to explain it. Jason became the-one-for-me. The man I wanted to marry. The one I would lean on and who would be able to see me in a way no one else had. I let him bear witness to my vulnerabilities and showed him the other side of "Jennifer of Libido Events".
Jason touched my heart in ways I had not thought possible. He cared for me with a depth of commitment that struck me as phenomenal. His support and thoughtfulness gave me the continued strength to claw my way upwards in the world. He taught me how to be a partner and he showed me how to have class.
My man has shown me repeatedly that I need not do anything on my own, that he will always be there for me. It is a powerful sentiment and action all rolled into one.
I was worldly on so many levels before Jason, but this man of mine completed the picture. We moved in together and he and the teenager fell for each other and have always had the most harmonious relationship imaginable. He treats and loves her as his own.
My life has changed in so many ways. Financially I make more than I ever thought I would, so now I've upped my goals in this area. My career has sky rocketed. I'm in demand more than I can make myself available. I turn down work even.
We are a couple, a unit, a creation of love and together we can do anything. We own our own house, have a child together, are raising our family, jointly growing a shared business and yet still have our own individual careers.
What I lack in knowledge or experience, Jason has in abundance and he so freely shares with me. I give back to him anything he wants or needs, and sometimes I am even lucky enough to find something to give to him that he didn't even know he wanted.
What was once a dream of a hard working young woman, is now the reality for myself.
I'm in love. And feeling rather introspective as I sit here in Berlin after being in London and Paris with my soul mate.

Europe Day 6

Europe Day 2
My computer is still on BC time, though for your point of reference, I am actually eight hours ahead of you all right now.
I am in Europe, in London to be precise. Having arrived early yesterday morning and spending all of yesterday napping and in a general fog of jet lag. Last nights sleep was incredible and now we are awake ready to start our day. It's midnight for you right now and for me, eight in the morning.
Three different blocks of cheeses, four types of biscuits and lots of seasonal fruit was our late night snack -- greatly enjoyed this.
Today we are heading off first to the London Eye, then to the Tower of London, then over to Westminster Abbey. I can't wait, this is going to be really amazing.
More later, now it's off to the shower room to get freshened up so we can depart.

Work Over Load
My life is crazy right now and this is an understatement.
In our house is a teenager readying for year end exams by studying like mad and a five month old teething and going through a developmental growth spurt.
I am plagued by CDIFF and wish for nothing more than to be rid of this horrible infection, it is so unpredictable, painful and nasty. Tomorrow I visit the hospital yet again for more tests and Friday the doctor sees me with the results and a new plan for getting me well.
In eight days I fly out of Province for a day of negotiations with a large corporation that is waving at me money, opportunity and career notoriety. Then fourteen hours after I return from this whirlwind visit.... I leave for Europe on an action packed and greatly anticipated trip through London, Berlin and Paris.
Between now and my departure I have four private coaching appointments, four large events at The Lounge and I still need to pack, get my hair done, have a mani/pedi, complete my banking, do a small mountain of paperwork and lest I forget .... sleep.
Somewhere in all of this I also have to fit in family time, cooking, laundry, caring for a infant, uploading the June calendar, emptying my in-box and commuting time to accomplish all that I need to.
Any idea how to get more hours in a day? Personally, I am at a loss.

Moving On Up
A large Canadian Corporation made contact with me a couple of weeks ago. We've peripherally worked alongside one another a number of times over the years, yet never had occasion to be directly doing serious business together.
Imagine my delight to receive a call from the head of the company asking me if I had time to speak. He spoke to me about my success in the adult industry and how I had grown so much over the last five to six years that he had been consciously following my activism. Though he'd actually known of me for over a decade.
I was caught off guard when he asked if they could fly me all expenses paid to their offices home Province for a day of negotiations. Amused, I dug around a little for more details. Like say, what would we be negotiating for?
It turns out they have two offerings for me, that are by far the biggest of my career thus far.
I complained a while back about how much work sits before me regularly. I digress, all the work I do has laid a strong foundation for me to now be reaching this new stage of my professional path.
The old saying remains true "that which does not kill us, makes us stronger".

- Hire me on contract for 2011 to do a job for them that fits in perfectly with my career goals. I would gain me the notoriety I need to continue to further my career, mixed with the financial outcome that would be life changing and also assist me in being nationally recognized for my unique skill sets. There would be awesome monthly travel and a chance to hob nob with really cool people whom I have great respect for.
- They envision me creating a series of sex education DVD's that would be made available for sale to the general public, with my face and approach to teaching being marketed they would back this project financially 100%.

Last day in Regina
Last day of Taboo. Thank God. I am so tired.
Tonight after today's final two classes, I fly home. My flight gets in at 11PM so the day is going to be a long one.
My feet hurt, despite changing out of my four inch heels right after each class and putting my flats right back on.
My voice is cracking even though I have a head set and a sound system.
I managed to get myself hired by three different Regina businesses and will be returning in just a few weeks to teach again and will continue to do so for the rest of the year.
I've made new friends here and we already have plans on networking in many fabulous ways.
Time to head back to the show, then flying back to Abbotsford. I love my job immensely and miss my family and home horribly.
