"Don't let the bastards grind you down."
This phrase and the story it comes from (The Handmaiden's Tale) have been on my mind for several months. A continuing reminder that no matter what, you have to push forward. No one can lead your life for you.
It's been some very difficult months this year. I had planned for and paid for a trip to Denver & Chicago, only to have FOSTA/SETA pass right before I left, and with it most ad sites were gone, as well as my personal site I had just paid for. I know a lot of women had it worse than me--some took to the streets, some resigned themselves to some shitty minimum wage job that will never cover their bottom line. It took me most of the year to dig myself out of my funk, and finally got my old domain back.
Even I had to leave the expensive Bay Area to survive. I was asked to take care of 40 acres for some dear friends while its on the market and have since moved 40mins away from Redding. It's a brand new grand adventure for me! I am still coming down to San Jose and San Francisco once a month--Please look to my schedule first before contacting me for a short notice appointment. My availability does book up fast now because I am not down as often, so I recommend contacting me a day or two before your preferred time.
I am also available for outcalls in the Shasta/Trinity/Tehama tri-county area (when I'm not in the Bay.) I will require 6-8 hrs notice at the least.... I live two miles down a dirt road now, so any short notice appointment will be impossible. For these outcalls I am now asking a deposit! Simply put, I won't be leaving my dirt road unless I'm positive I'll be compensated for my driving time and lately a lot of bad boys seem to think they can get away with not paying ladies! I have nothing but positive reviews to speak to my character and professionalism.
