Happy Thanksgiving Week! This year I have so very much to be thankful for. Like many of you, I’m very thankful for my family and friends, especially those who embrace nudism with me. But this year is special because this is the first year that I can be truly thankful for my health. My journey [...]
Call me a New Yorker- because I am one- but cold just doesn’t get to me. We as nudists talk a lot about “we’re nudists, not morons” when it comes to the question of what we do in the winter, namely do we go outside nude when the temperatures are cold. But what about those [...]
I realized today that it’s been quite a while since I posted on this blog so I should probably throw some updates out at you and maybe get some discussion going again. There is no connection between my topics today, it’s just the hodge-podge that’s going on in my head and an update on what [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
