We're not trying to not struggle anymore. We're just noticing that there is a whole other dimension to consciousness that, in this very moment, isn't struggling, isn't resentful, isn't trying to get somewhere.  You can literally feel it. You can't think your way to not struggling. There isn't a three-point plan of how not to struggle. It's really a one-point plan: Notice that the peace, this end of struggling, is actually already present."-Adyashanti (Falling into Grace)"Turn toward God and you will find yourself shaking off the chains of habits and environment……The Self identified with the ego is bound; the Self identified with the soul is free."Paramahansa Yogananda"I prayed so much that I turned into prayer."-Rumi "Don't underestimate your strength. I tell you, you can make miracles.  You can turn things around 180 degrees."- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"You spent the last 10 Monday's saying next week. The last 10 calendar months saying next year. The last 24 hours saying tomorrow. Your life is passing you by! GET UP!  Nobody is coming to save you."-@IAmKiraj via IG"From beyond the starsand void of space.Transcendent, Pure,Of unimaginable beauty,Bringing with youthe essence of love.You transform allwho are touched by you.Mundane concerns,troubles, and sorrowsdissolve in your presence,Bringing joy to ruler and ruledto peasant and King.You bewilder us,with your grace.All evils transform into goodness.You are the master alchemist.You light the fire of love,in earth and sky,in heart and soul,of every being.Through your loving,existence and nonexistence merge.All opposites unite.All that is profane,becomes sacred again."-Rumi  on the 'Master-Power' Support the show

Do you think wrinkles are ugly or beautiful?Is kimchi your favorite taste or too intense?Is the smell of lavender help you relax or trigger your gag reflex?Does the sound of a horn honking annoy you or bring fond memories of growing up in the city? It might sound hard to believe BUT sounds are just sounds, things just things...it is what we choose to think about those sounds, tastes, smells, textures and circumstances that bring up the emotions we feel and the way we react to them.What if the next time you were waiting in a line and the person helping you said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."  And you responded with, "That's alright, I wasn't waiting, I was just standing here enjoying life."Could things that previously cause feelings of annoyance, anger and impatience actually be transformed into opportunities to be present and find joy?!Listen in today to learn how gratitude is a powerful way to clean up your thoughts and bring magic to the mundane.

When tragedy strikes, it's normal to want to turn inwards and shut out the rest of the world. But while focusing on the challenge ahead is important, it is also important to remember to stay open to receiving medical and emotional support to care packages… and even unexpected friendships. When Mattea was in the NICU, and I was in the thick of adapting to this life-changing event, Joann Martyn came into my life. Her baby boy, Theo, was also in the NICU, but it was her life that had truly been at risk when a severe and rare form of preeclampsia (a hypertension disorder) threatened to take it. Joann is a lifelong friend of mine and a true source of inspiration. I couldn't be happier to share her best advice on, as she puts it, “finding the magic in the mundane.” She is not only surviving the challenges life throws at us but also growing through them and thriving. Having survived a series of five brain stem strokes which have a 97% mortality rate, she is living proof of this. Since we met, she's worked her way up to being the Director of Online Learning at DePaul University, where she helps her students navigate the world in really beautiful ways. And her “baby” boy, once considered a micro-preemie, is now a 5 '11 happy and healthy 13-year-old teenager. Life has thrown every imaginable challenge at her, but it's how she has mastered being present in her day-to-day life, accepting life as it happens, serving others, and letting others serve you in times of need that makes her a true force to be reckoned with. You'll hear Joann's best advice on navigating life at the hospital/NICU (for yourself or your children), finding hope and happiness through challenging times and giving yourself permission to do what you enjoy doing most. There's a good chance this episode will give you the best kind of goosebumps, and I hope it lifts you up and inspires you whenever you need a boost. Key Takeaways with Joann Martyn How the hardest days of your life can leave you with important lifelong lessons, and even friendships. Tips for navigating life in the NICU, especially while holding a full-time job or parenting other children. Letting go of birth plans and expectations through pregnancy complications. The importance of opening yourself up to receiving help when needed, and how it can teach you to serve others even better. How to accept each day as it comes, and be grateful and present when possible. Advice on giving yourself permission to do what you enjoy most, from someone who has had several near-death experiences.

Today, we read CCC, 901 - 933 and discuss how we ALL have ALL of the ingredients to become great saints. By embracing the everyday, mundane moments of life, we can patiently bear "the hardships of life" and reign over ourselves as kings and queens. It's not easy, but it's also not complicated!

Talk Notes Sacredness of the Mundane One of the greatest lies of the enemy is trying to get you to believe that your ordinary, everyday faithfulness and obedience are not enough to bring about significant kingdom impact. "It is pure invention that the Pope, bishops, priests, and monks are called the "spiritual estate" while princes, lords, artisans, and farmers are called the "temporal estate". This is indeed a piece of deceit and hypocrisy. Yet no one need be intimidated by it, and that for this reason: all Christians are truly of the spiritual estate, and there is no difference among them except that of office... We are all consecrated priest by baptisms as St Peter says: "You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.” Martin Luther 27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” "We are to be gardeners who take an active stance toward their charge. They do not leave the land as it is. They rearrange it in order to make it most fruitful, to draw the potentialities for growth and development out of the soil. They dig up the ground and rearrange it with a goal in mind: to rearrange the raw material of the garden so that it produces food, flowers, and beauty. And that is the pattern for all work. It is creative and assertive. It is rearranging the raw material of God's creation in such a way that it helps the world in general, and people in particular, thrive and flourish.” Tim Keller Work: Rearranging the raw material of God's creation in such a way that it helps the world in general, and people in particular, thrive and flourish. 1 Corinthians 10:31 Paul says… “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” “So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: take your everyday, ordinary life- your sleeping, eating, going to work, and walking around life and place it before God as an offering. The Message “We live in a world with no compartments. For those who are spiritual - who are filled with the active, dynamic Spirit of God himself - the line between heaven and earth is thin at best. The sacred is never far away. And your job, your career, or whatever it is you do all day long, isn't something outside of Jesus' calling on your life - it's right at the center of it.” John Mark Comer One of the greatest lies of the enemy is trying to get you to believe that your ordinary, everyday faithfulness and obedience are not enough to bring about significant kingdom impact. "Everyone wants to be successful rather than forgotten, and everyone wants to make a difference in life. But that is beyond the control of any of us. If this life is all there is, then everything will eventually burn up in the death of the sun and no one will even be around to remember anything that has happened. Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is a God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever." Tim Keller

Lost in Eros Book III: The Return, part 6Ladies Night brings out the inner desires of the women.By BradentonLarry for Literotica -  Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.Ladies NightToshia drifted in and out of sleep for a while. The sun was warm and the breeze on her naked skin was light. She had a fleeting dream of enjoying the sex resort along with her partner Sarah. Toshia enjoyed watching Sarah playing with all of the cheerful naked people. Of course, in the dream the resort was confused with other elements of Toshia's time in Eros. Some of the place was actually taken from the Manor, for one thing, and, for another, the Bull was there, sipping a cocktail by the pool. This made Toshia chuckle a little, which woke her up again. She heard the sound of a woman sighing and moaning nearby. Toshia slowly turned toward the sound and opened her sleepy eyes.On the lounge chair next to Toshia, pretty little Liu was laying on her back with her legs spread so Don could lay over her and slowly fuck her. The two of them seemed very intent upon each other and Toshia smiled drowsily as she watched.When the gang had finally made their way out of the Clockwork Club, Toshia had needed help walking. She had been so well and truly fucked by the sexbot, and then, without much of a break at all, had been treated to the orgasmatron, that her body was wrung out through sheer excess of pleasure. Ultimately, Don had lifted her in his arms and carried her over to a lounge chair by the immense pool. Toshia had murmured her thanks and promptly fallen asleep. She was a bit surprised now that the sun was still shining; she felt as though she had slept for many hours.Toshia watched as Liu's hands moved over Don's body, reaching down to squeeze his ass and pull him into her. She admired the flexing muscles of both bodies. Toshia smiled as she looked at the way Don focused so intently on the woman he was with. Toshia was happy to love this man and was so glad that she had been brought to Eros where she had become his lover, even if it meant that they had to work so hard to get her back to Sarah. Toshia felt the heat between her legs rising as she watched Don fucking their new friend, but she was feeling too lazy to do anything about it. Instead, she just lay there, enjoying the show, as Liu gasped and Don groaned and then they were cumming together. As they slowly came down, Don leaned down to kiss Liu, and Toshia managed to say, “Bravo!”Don looked over at her with a broad smile and said, “Well, hello there, Sleeping Beauty.”“Hello, stud,” Toshia smiled. “I take it you didn't need a nap.”“Oh, I took one, but it was very short.”Liu patted Don's butt and said, “Let me up, Don. I want to go for a swim.” Then, when she and Don had disentangled themselves, she turned to Toshia and said, “Want to join me, Toshia?”“It would probably help me wake up, wouldn't it?” Toshia mused. She let Liu pull her up off her lounger and then followed the slender Asian woman into the pool, leaving Don on his lounger watching them with a happy smile.The water was definitely refreshing, particularly since it was actually XYZ. Soon Toshia was both awake but decidedly frisky. She and Liu played a bit in the water; just groping and teasing each other; but it got Toshia thinking of a plan for the evening. When they climbed back out of the pool, where Don had been rejoined by Shelonda, Nicole, Amy and Victor, Toshia was ready to make her proposal.“I think I need to take a cock-break,” Toshia said. “How about us girls go check out that ‘Ladies Night' club tonight, and you guys find your own play?”“Ladies Night is very nice,” Liu nodded. “No men allowed in there.”Although Amy seemed a bit less than enthusiastic, all the women agreed with Toshia that it would be fun to have a girls' night.“You don't mind, do you?” Toshia asked Don. She assumed the extremely cooperative Victor wouldn't object.“No,” Don laughed. “Go, have fun! I think I'd like to check out the Jungle Room. Keep an eye on each other, though. Why don't we all meet back here in the morning?”Soon the five women made their way through the resort to the large building identified as “Ladies Night”. Although the name's spelling perhaps suggested a tackier establishment, it was actually a very large mansion with a lovely park surrounding it. Liu led them directly to the front door where the five naked women entered without any sign of a bouncer. Toshia found herself wondering why the men didn't try to slip in here.They found themselves in a very large hall lit by candles; hundreds of candles. The carpet and dark, wood paneling reminded Toshia of the Manor bedroom where she and Don had first awakened together. There were many soft chairs and couches arranged about the room, and women lounged on the furniture or moved among it. There was soft, lush music playing in the background. As the group made their way into the club, they saw women in various degrees of undress (tending toward nudity) talking, kissing, caressing… but there was very little full-blown sex going on. Toshia found herself once again wishing that Sarah was here, not only to be sharing all of these wild adventures, but just to be holding her hand right now. Liu led them through this hall until she came to a winding stairwell opposite the entrance. As they climbed upward, they became aware of dance music being played above them. They came to a small foyer at the landing for the second floor, and Liu paused before a large pair of double doors. She smiled at the others and said, “This is the dance floor.”The petite woman pushed the doors open and they saw a wide dance floor lit with various colored lights and somewhat crowded with feminine bodies moving in time to the music. This disco was better lit than the Manor's, and there was no pit of XYZ-smoke. Also, the music was a sexy jazz-fusion variety. Toshia found herself immediately responding to the rhythm and atmosphere. Moving with the rest of the girls, she headed out onto the dance floor.Liu and Amy paired off and then Shelonda and Nicole drew Toshia with them into a bumping, grinding and groping dance. Toshia's hands moved over their smooth, soft, dark skin, caressing their curves and stroking their fit muscles, all while their hands did the same. Letting the rhythm move her body, Toshia enjoyed the playful petting and the occasional kisses from her two playmates. She laughed as the two girls ganged up on her, each kissing a side of her neck as their hands moved over her body, squeezing her butt and pinching her nipples. Meanwhile her own hands were busy, gripping their firm asses tightly and pulling them closely to her.A different song brought a faster rhythm and their little knot of foreplay loosened and began to include other dancers. For a while Toshia just let herself go, enjoying the intoxicating rush of dancing in a mob of sexy, almost entirely naked, women. Her body was rubbing against others indiscriminately. At one moment her butt was being caressed and rubbed, though she had no idea who was doing it, and at another her nipples were rubbing against the back of a woman pressed against her. The next song shifted the tempo down a bit, and Toshia found herself face to face with a striking woman with brown skin and thick black hair brushing her shoulders. This woman, who Toshia thought must be Latina, smiled at her warmly and put her hands on Toshia's waist, drawing her close. Toshia slipped her hands around the woman's neck and felt her full, warm breasts pressed against Toshia's. They moved there, swaying together, smiling and looking into each other's eyes. When the tempo shifted up again and the rest of the crowd responded enthusiastically, the pretty woman paused long enough to lean in and give Toshia an all too fleeting kiss. Then Toshia was again bouncing and writhing in the small sea of naked women.The next time she found herself dancing with just one person, it was a lively young woman with wildly messy short dark blonde hair, a taut athletic body, medium-sized tits, long muscular legs and a spectacular ass. This enthusiastic creature started off by grabbing Toshia and kissing her hard. Then the two women proceeded to dance energetically together, frequently humping each other's thighs as they made out. When the girl made to move away it was Toshia's turn to grab her and pull her back, kissing her hard then biting her lip. The girl laughed and proceeded to squeeze and knead Toshia's ass in her hands. Toshia on the other hand slipped her hand down between the two of them and pushed her fingers up between the girl's legs. As Toshia's fingers slipped up into the girl's tight, very wet pussy, Toshia pulled the girl's head to her own and kissed her passionately. Following Toshia's lead, the girl moved her own hand down to Toshia's crotch. The two women made out there in the middle of the dance floor, hardly dancing at all, while their fingers moved in and out of their wet pussies, palms pressed against the other's clit. It didn't take long before Toshia was gasping and shuddering as her first orgasm of the evening tore through her there on the dance floor. She bit the girl's poor tongue some as her body clenched, but the girl didn't seem to notice or care as her own orgasm was crashing in on her too. As they slowly came to their senses, leaning there against each other on the dance floor, they laughed, kissed and gradually got back into the dance. When the tempo shifted up yet again, they parted and didn't see each other again.After about an hour more of this, Toshia decided to take a break from the heady spirit of the dance. She made her way to the edge of the dance floor and, for the first time, took a look around at the rest of the room. She saw that there was a balcony running around the whole of the dance floor where there seemed to be seating. Toshia found a coiling stairwell and climbed up to this new balcony area. She was surprised to find that it was quite a bit bigger than she had expected. While there were comfortable couches arranged around the balcony so that people could look down on the dance floor, there were also intimate booths all around the outer edge of the balcony. There were many women, in pairs and more, enjoying these booths. Still, there was more; every few booths there were stairs leading up to another level, above and behind the booths. This upper level seemed to consist of what would be tents if they weren't made of sheer, see-through fabric. Inside the tents were sumptuous pillows, apparently of silk. Even from where she was Toshia could see quite a few women enjoying these comfortable little tents.Then, Toshia noticed that there were scantily clad women moving about with trays of fruit and water. Moving quickly, Toshia snagged a glass of water and downed it at once, managing to replace the glass on the same tray. She also scored a small bunch of grapes, which she began to eat as she started to look around a bit more.She paused in front of a booth that was occupied by four women engaged in a nicely complicated bit of play. The vision of feminine flesh, flexing muscles, long legs and arms, and heaving breasts was quite inviting. Toshia considered making it a fivesome, but decided to move along for now. After all, she still had grapes to finish.Out of the corner of her eye, Toshia saw a glimpse of black. Turning her head she saw what was now the not-entirely-unexpected shape of a black robed figure watching the goings on in the club. Though she had no idea what she would do if she managed to actually confront the watcher, Toshia began to move around toward the mysterious figure. She wasn't surprised, though, when, after rounding a corner, there was no sign of the watcher. She persisted, though, and came to the place where the robed figure had been standing. Looking around, she couldn't find any evidence that there had ever been any such person there. There were a couple of women making out on a couch right next to her, but Toshia doubted that they would have noticed a rhinoceros standing there. To the left there was a quartet of women, in two couples, who were similarly engaged.Toshia sighed to herself and turned back to the balcony and looked down over the dance floor, which now seemed more crowded than when she and her friends had come into the club. She again found herself thinking about Sarah, wishing she had come with her to Eros. Toshia remembered the last time they had gone out dancing; it seemed like so very long ago. Even before Eros, it had been a long while since the two of them had gone out and thrown themselves into anything as exuberant as a night of dancing. She realized now that she had been missing this very much. Over time, everyday life and the realities of cohabitating with another person had a way of crowding out the spontaneous, sexy playful of a happy, loving couple. Mundane reality distracted you and lulled you into a routine. This wasn't news to Toshia, but she had now discovered a new determination to fight back against the boring and mundane. When she got back to Sarah, she would make sure they got out of their rut and stayed out of it. Toshia looked down at the mob of sexy women dancing there and thought, God, I miss her so much!Then Toshia spotted Shelonda at the edge of the crowd. She was dancing with a sexy little redhead. Toshia watched as the redhead pulled Shelonda away from the dancing and toward a pair of double doors Toshia hadn't noticed before. When the two girls went through, Toshia's curiosity impelled her back to the coiling stairs and down. She skirted the dance floor and came to the doors Shelonda had gone through. The doors opened easily, and Toshia found herself moving down a deeply carpeted hallway, very much reminiscent of the Manor. At the end of the hallway was a broad stair case leading back down to the main floor. There Toshia found another set of double doors. Before opening the doors, though, she noticed a large mirror mounted on the wall.Toshia paused to look at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a bit of a mess from dancing, and generally not caring much about it lately. She moved closer to get a better look, and noticed that she looked healthy and flush, again, no doubt, from the dancing. Her eyes moved lower and noticed that she was looking very good. Her normally trim body was now firm and taut with well-defined musculature, without being what she would think of as muscular. Her hands moved over her flat belly and then she turned to look at her butt. She had always thought she had a nice rear end, but it was now very nice indeed; tight and shapely. Similarly her legs looked great! Even her breasts seemed a bit firmer, and fuller. It was as if her only body fat was now in her tits. There still wasn't an awful lot of it there, either, but she thought it looked very good.With a smile at her reflection, and pausing just for a moment to check out her own ass one more time, Toshia turned back to the doors and went through.By now, Toshia thought she really should be used to seeing such things, but the sight of a very large room filled with naked people having sex actually surprised her. The room was actually about the size of a small ballroom, the floor was covered with a thick, soft mattress or deep padding, and all of the people were women. The floor covering was deep red, and the walls were hung with thick drapes of dark purple and mauve. Here and there was a piece of furniture, and in the center of the room was a large, multi-tiered platform, all of which seemed to be in use by lovely writhing bodies. Don should definitely see this! she thought with a smile.Toshia looked around for Shelonda, but gave that up quickly; there were just too many distracting things to see. She noted that over to her left were neat little piles of clothing, apparently discarded by the few women who made it here while still wearing some. Over to her right was a long table displaying an array of dildos of all sorts. With an amused smile and a raised eyebrow, Toshia moved over to have a better look at this display.Toshia looked carefully at the set of strap-ons. She had never worn one before, but she figured they couldn't be that hard to use. This collection was surprisingly diverse, though. There were some with little (or large!) insertions to go up the wearer's pussy, and some with additional dildos to go up into the wearer's behind. Some of them had various things on the front of them to stimulate the fuckee. There were a surprising number of ways in which the “cocks” were modified; ridges, bumps, twists and bends; not to mention the assortment of colors. Toshia felt her curiosity tugging at her, not to mention her arousal. She sincerely wanted to take a break from having anything fucking her, but she wasn't averse to fucking someone else. She picked up a strap-on that was quite realistic; thick, long, but not too long, and hard but giving in a natural way; and wondered what it was like to penetrate a woman with something like that. It had a pair of soft, full balls dangling from its base. With the heavy cock in her right hand, she ran the fingers of her left over the inside of the strap that would run up between her legs. She noticed a few well-placed bumps, no doubt to stimulate the wearer.“Would you like some help with that?” Toshia looked up to see a beautiful middle aged woman smiling at her. She was fairly short and had very long, thick and wavy, black hair, deep brown eyes and a distinctly Mediterranean coloring. She was thin, but had nice full breasts.Toshia found herself blushing a little, feeling a bit absurd standing there holding a fake dong in her hands. She smiled back at the helpful stranger, swallowed and said, “Yes, that would be very nice of you.”The woman slipped up to Toshia and took the strap on from her, still smiling warmly. She said, “First you need to fasten it around your waist, like this.” Toshia thought she detected a slight Greek accent, but then was distracted as she felt the woman's breath on her back and quick, nimble fingers at the base of her spine, threading the belt into the buckle and cinching it snugly into place.“Then, you have to get this strap into place,” the woman said as she reached up between Toshia's thighs.Toshia giggled a little out of nervous ticklishness as she felt the woman's hand, and quickly parted her legs for her. She felt the strap being pulled up between her thighs and then tightened. It was broad enough that it wasn't pulled between her labia, but the woman behind her pulled it tight enough that it was definitely pressing very firmly against Toshia's clitoris. Again the deft fingers brushed the small of Toshia's back as the strap was fastened in place. She felt the woman's breath on her shoulder.“How does that feel?”“Good,” Toshia said without really giving it much thought. She looked down at herself and grinned at the ridiculous and strangely erotic sight of a big male sex organ standing out in front of her. Then she noticed that there was an odd shifting and tingling sensation between her legs and wherever the strap on touched her. The sex toy seemed to be adjusting itself to her somehow… and to be doing more.The pretty dark woman reached around and gave Toshia's new cock a tentative tug. Toshia felt her clit being pulled by the strap and the little nubs on it, and gave a little murmur of delight. The woman then stroked the phallus, and Toshia felt an unusual but very pleasant sensation in her pussy and wasn't surprised that her juices were beginning to flow. When the woman reached the dildo's head and gently stroked it, Toshia felt as if the woman was stroking her clit. Toshia felt herself, more than heard herself, breathing, “Oh my!”Without taking her hand off Toshia's “equipment”, the woman came around. Still smiling, she said, “I take it this is your first time.”Feeling both the strange but very pleasant sensations in her crotch and the burning in her cheeks as she blushed, Toshia nodded and smiled back at the woman.Toshia's new friend grinned mischievously and asked, “Want to try it out?”Laughing a little, Toshia said, “If you don't mind my not knowing what I'm doing.”“Oh, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly,” the woman said as she gave Toshia's prosthetic prick a tug and lead her over to the edge of the sprawling girl-on-girl orgy. Finding an open area, the woman knelt down on the soft “mattress” and drew Toshia down next to her.The woman's arms slipped around Toshia, and Toshia bent her head down to kiss the woman's soft lips. Toshia was acutely aware of the woman's breasts pressed against her own, as well as the feeling of the woman's hand pulling and stroking on Toshia's new-found cock. Their tongues were slipping against each other as the woman drew Toshia with her as she laid back. Toshia lowered her mouth to the woman's neck, kissing and biting lightly, and began to work her way down toward those beautiful tits. Toshia took both breasts in her hands and kissed her way down to the woman's brown nipples, which responded quickly as Toshia began to suck and pull at each of them in turn. When she had each of them rigid and the woman was moaning beneath her, Toshia began to move lower, planning to get her mouth on this woman's pussy.“No, no,” the woman stopped her. “You need to fuck me.”Chuckling a little to herself, Toshia said, “Yes, of course,” and crawled back up until she was looking down into the woman's dark eyes. Toshia felt the woman's hand on her again, grasping her cock and pulling it into position. Then there was a warm sensation spreading up through her as she watched the woman's expression change. Realizing she was penetrating the woman's pussy with her cock, Toshia pushed her hips forward slowly. The feelings in her pussy and clit intensified slowly.“Oh yes,” the woman sighed, “that feels so good.”Toshia kept watching the woman's pretty face as she drew back, careful not to go too far, and then pushed back in. Toshia wondered if she made faces like that when she was being fucked. She hoped so. She pulled back again; this time a bit faster; and then pushed in again, watching the woman and feeling the supple strap moving against her own clit and the heat growing in her pussy.“Yes, fuck me!” the woman said, her voice dropping at least an octave and her eyes only half open.Toshia began to move herself more vigorously, rocking her hips and using her legs to push her cock into the woman's pussy. She held on to the woman's shoulders to pull her body down, onto the fleshy shaft Toshia was using to fuck her. The woman's soft tits and hard nipples were pressed against Toshia's chest. The woman reached down and grabbed both of Toshia's cheeks and pulled, urging Toshia to fuck her harder and deeper. Toshia found herself remembering how Liu had been doing the same thing to Don's ass earlier.With each thrust and each withdrawal, the strap between Toshia's legs pressed and rubbed against her clit and her labia, and the (surely magical) waves of pleasure inside her pussy intensified. Toshia thought that if this was anything at all like what it felt for a man to fuck then it was a wonder men ever did anything else. Then she deliberately shoved all such thoughts out of her mind and concentrated on doing a good job of fucking this very friendly and helpful woman underneath her. She thought of how she liked to be fucked and did her best to emulate that, and before long she was rewarded. The woman arched her back and gave a long, low groan as her entire body clenched and shook. Toshia kept moving against her, watching intently, as she came long and hard.As she came down, the woman opened her eyes and grinned up at Toshia, “That was wonderful!” Then she grabbed Toshia's head and pulled her down to kiss her passionately. Toshia was still fucking her cock in and out of the woman when she was asked, “What else do you want to do with that big dick of yours?”In another moment, the woman was on her hands and knees in front of Toshia, who was watching in horny amusement as the cock in front of her was fucking in and out of the woman's pussy from behind. The woman was shoving back against her, urging her to fuck her harder and faster. Toshia's hands were holding the woman's narrow waist, helping to set the pace. The strap was working its magic on her clit and pussy, and Toshia felt her excitement building rapidly. She knew her dildo's balls were hitting the woman's clit, and could tell that the woman was going to climax again soon. Toshia found herself wishing she could see herself there, fucking this beautiful woman with the long black hair, and then she was clenching her eyes closed as her orgasm swept through her. She shoved up into the woman's pussy as her nervous system set off fireworks all through her body. She kept fucking her cock in and out of the woman, barely conscious that the woman was also cumming, and that there seemed to be pearly white fluid leaking out of the woman's pussy. She was still trembling when Toshia thought to pull her cock out of the woman and saw that there was a cum-like substance dribbling out of the end of it. A quick taste test told her that it wasn't really cum, of course, but a sticky, sweet substitute that must come with this model of strap on, so to speak.She was also delighted to realize that her synthetic cock would not soften at all and was quite ready for more fucking. The woman she'd been fucking crawled around, and promptly began to suck any stray cum-stuff out of Toshia's “organ”. Then she rose up and kissed Toshia enthusiastically and more than a little sloppily.“That was wonderful,” the woman beamed. “Thank you!”Toshia laughed and said, “No, thank you!”“My pleasure!”The two of them knelt there making out together for several long minutes before the orgy finally managed to engulf them. Naked sweaty women were all around them by then, and as they were kissing and fondling each other, strange hands began to move over their bodies. Mouths and tongues followed hands. Toshia felt someone, well, at least one someone, tugging at her strap on and was aware that someone had reached around to play with her playmate's pussy and clit. Toshia also had someone caressing her ass, and someone was kissing her shoulder, all while she was continuing to kiss her partner. A hand slipped between the two of them and found one of Toshia's nipples. When those fingers pinched and pulled at Toshia, she broke the kiss to let out a rather loud gasp, followed by a happy moan.Whoever was kissing her shoulder chose that moment to move up to her shoulder, biting her playfully. Toshia turned her head to that side and promptly found herself being kissed passionately by a woman with long, curly black hair. Letting herself go with the flow, and the heat of the moment, Toshia turned, and let herself be turned, away from the woman she'd been playing with. Soon she found herself on her back as this new beauty; a statuesque Hispanic woman with surprisingly green eyes and long legs; straddled her and rode up and down on Toshia's faux cock. She reached up to pinch and twist at the woman's dark nipples, and watched as the woman threw her head back and shuddered. Then Toshia's view was obscured as another woman; really little more than a teenage girl; leaned over to kiss her.“Mind if I sit on your face?” this kissing girl asked Toshia in a thick southern accent.“Not at all!” Toshia laughed, and in seconds was licking and sucking at this girl's sweet pussy and clit.Over the next hours, Toshia put her toy to good, and thorough, use. She lost count of the number of women she fucked, enjoying the way it felt and looked to work her cock in and out of pussies. She fucked several tight asses too, and enjoyed the sight of her artificial penis spraying its cum stuff a few times that night; once over the faces of several young women who were kneeling in front of her. By the time she actually caught up with Shelonda, she was happy to cast off the strap on and enjoy some leisurely oral sex in a happy, nicely isolated 69.Toshia eventually fell asleep there in Shelonda's arms, silently pleased with herself to have made good on her “not getting fucked” plan, and smiling to herself at how much actual fucking she had managed to accomplish.To be continued..By BradentonLarry for Literotica

“Why Is It on the Ground Again?!”   In our last +1, we talked about our rooster, Happy. He's still hanging in there.     Today I want to continue the theme we explored in that +1 and see if we can get better at using the things that currently trigger us to feel annoyed, to instead, trigger us to feel grateful.   Here's an example from the Johnson house to help you think of things YOU might want to reframe in YOUR house.    So…   My son Emerson is a high-energy kid.    Note: I was going to say my “little guy” Emerson but he's almost 10 as I type this and he's NO LONGER little. It's shocking to see the speed with which he's growing!   As we've joked before, when he wakes up, he kinda runs out of the room like Kramer from Seinfeld—all energy all the time.    It's FANTASTIC.   Except, of course, when it's not. (Hah.)   So…   Mundane example.    For some strange reason, when Emerson uses the toilet paper in the bathroom, he often rips it off the little horizontal bar it rests on and the roll of toilet paper winds up unraveled and strewn across the bathroom floor.    L O L.   Now…   I'm a parent AND a teacher so, of course, we've had some Conquering Toilet Paper 101 classes on how to gently roll the toilet paper and gently rip the amount you need from the roll while ensuring it stays in place at the end of the job. (10 Big Ideas, folks! )   And…   That lesson just hasn't stuck.   L O L.   So…   After Emerson's done his thing, that toilet paper roll often winds up strewn across the bathroom floor.   And…   I can choose to use that toilet paper everywhere (again!) as either a trigger for my annoyance (and yet another lecture on the mechanics of toilet paper)….   OR…   I can use that same trigger as an opportunity to appreciate the fact that, one day WAY too soon, that toilet paper roll is going to be perfectly and permanently affixed to its resting place—never to see the floor again.   And…   I just got tears in my eyes typing that.   I'm not ready for that day yet.   I want to fully enjoy the incredible enthusiasm of my not-so-little-boy who is becoming a wonderfully enthusiastic young man for as long as I can—knowing that, like all the other wonderful things in my life, will not last forever.   That's Today's +1.   Got a trigger?   Seriously.    Pause.   Think of at least one little thing a loved one does that, if we ACTUALLY practiced our philosophy with a little more rigor, could EASILY be alchemized from annoying to charming…   Go it?   Awesome.   Let's remember the fact that life is preciously short.    And…   Let's use everything we can as a reminder of just how precious it is.   -1 to +1.   All day. Every day.    ESPECIALLY Today.
