It’s a rainy Saturday here in Upstate NY, a good day to catch up on things, including this blog. Life has been busy and I haven’t had much time to even thinking about blogging. Today’s blog is regarding a topic that has been heavy on my mind lately: conflicting emotions and nudist locations. Being a [...]

These past few days I’ve been painting my bedroom to complete my dream of having a girly butterfly room. I can’t wait to see how it turns out as butterflies, to me, represent permanent positive change after life’s ugliness. Still, the whole painting thing has been quite a lesson. As I painted my living room [...]

Being naked is gloriously wonderful. Being naked of my cell phone? Nightmare! Yet prohibiting cell phones is becoming common practice at nudist camps and results. This may make complete sense to an older person who wants to prevent their image from being uploaded to any of the crazy websites that are so easy to find, [...]

You gotta eat, right?  That’s what I’ve always thought and I run with the thought.  Somehow, this desire to eat doesn’t go away when at a nudist venue.  Many of my favorite venues have a restaurant or food area to fulfill this need and at my home campground they even let me run the hot [...]

It’s getting warm out, which means that it’s the time of year in which we women need to invest our time and energy into finding the perfect swimsuit for the season. I’ve noticed that my sister and I go about this slightly differently: My Sister: 1) Spend at least two months dieting so that there [...]

Nudism is hailed as a way of living in which people’s diversity is accepted and appreciated. We all hear the nudist mantra about body acceptance and within the nudist community this acceptance is definitely seen. Within my own home club, I’ve seen people of all sizes, people with amputations/ mastectomies, people with colostomy bags, people [...]

For tens years I taught students in Philadelphia and for half of those teaching years worked in small, private schools. Within one school we often sang a song that ended with the phrase, “We are family, we are one.” While this phrase was meant to describe a faith community, I find that it’s also quite [...]

There are many things in this world that our parents teach us not to talk about if we don’t want to get in trouble with others: religion, politics, and controversial race issues are among those things. So I guess I need to apologize to my parents in that I’m going to talk about a controversial [...]

As I sit here nude and look down, I notice that I’m a woman. Wait, let me check again. Yep, I’m a woman. Being that I’m in Nude Recreation, I can be labeled a Woman in Nude Recreation. Deep, huh? What does it mean to be a Woman in Nude Recreation? I hear about this [...]

Those of you who are in the Northeast have noticed that we’re having a little premature spring here.  Though prematurity isn’t good for babies, it certainly is for nudists!  I loved working outside today- naturally, of course- in the 80 degree weather.  And spring doesn’t even begin until tomorrow! Spring is my season of hope.  [...]
