As I sit in my back yard, the pool gurgling in my ear and the warm breeze dancing upon my skin, I am thinking about my life and how it all fits into this new endeavor called a Blog.  Not sure how I am going to go about this; but I know that I have much to say that others may find intriguing and even, for some, life-changing.   I don't imagine there will be much discussed here that will fit into any one category, for I am a person of vast curiosity and opinionated as hell.  However, opinions can take on new energy as one ages and as one opens to expansion. As I open and expand, by so doing and sharing,  I hope I catalyze others to open and expand as well.  So , here goes.........   I have chosen to identify with the term "Sensual Sage"  because I feel deeply that my life purpose is to project that image and live that role.   Sage - in the context of a person - is an elder:  an older person who projects and speaks with wisdom.  Wisdom, as I feel it in my bones,  comes from a variety of  experiences sprinkled with a certain knowing that comes from who-knows-where.   It is an element of knowledge - true.  But mostly it is a mystical aspect that life  (past, present and future) experience nurtures and feeds along the way.   I am truly an Elder; my elderness expresses herself with youth and vigor that elicits surprise and disbelief among those who discover my real age.  Born on September 17, 1943,  as I write this I am approaching my 71st birthday.  Frustrating as it sometimes is, my body will often remind me that it is tired and so called "age-appropriate" symptoms jump out at me out of nowhere.  My back aches; my belly bulges, my breasts lay in a relaxed sag and my thighs rub together when I walk.  Yet my skin is clear and vibrant and my hands are strong and my eyes sparkle.  Yes, I often forget where I put my keys or my purse; but for the most part my mind is almost as sharp as when I graduated from high school in 1961.  It is full of the richness of life and the awe of all I have seen and done. I have experienced much:  a childhood fret with disappointment and confusion;  relationships and marriages that did not last (I call them re-defined rather than failed);  a soul mate lost to complications of an unpredictable and devastating disease called Multiple Sclerosis ;  the birth of three amazing boy babies who now have kids of their own; and a barrage of attempts at a variety of careers.  Yet through it all,  I am here and I am blessed to have discovered the purpose of it all.  Who I am and what I do have merged into what I call my Life Path and my Life Purpose.  I am and Erotic Educator,  a Metaphysical Minister, and a Holistic Life Coach.  And every sorrow and joy experienced along the way has been a gift that affords me the wisdom to wear all of those hats. I hope that by sharing bits and pieces of me I can encourage, empower and catalyze deep thought and feelings within those who choose to read my words.  I welcome your thoughts and discussion. Much love and light to all who choose to follow this Blog. EveLynn
