"My body still wants to be a site of pleasure" - mmm yes Anna! Love this! And I resonate with the frustrations our bodies sometimes/often deal us while living with chronic pain and other conditions. Thank you also for the reminder about dancing - I definitely don't do this as frequently as I would love to! xx

Thanks Jennifer. You know I love your writing about pleasure in bodies with pain, too. (Your chapter in Sex Meets Life is a standout.) I had this thought when I read your comment: there are stories we tell about our bodies, and stories our bodies tell to us ❤️ Always more stories to be told. And dancing!

Oooh yes! That's so true, the stories go both ways - in all directions! And thank you so much 🥰

Anna, I’m so sorry you fell. Thank goodness for soft landings. Thank goodness for your beautiful words of truth too. I feel so much less alone in my truth after reading this.

I hope we always find a reason (and the ability) to dance in our kitchens. 🥰

Thank you, my friend ❤️ Yes! to dancing our way through. And yes to knowing we are not alone. x
