There's just something about penguins. Pleasantly plump, they stand upright and teeter like toddlers. Although often depicted in black and white, most are actually more colorful. Seven species have long, jaunty golden feather tufts above their eyes. King Penguins and Emperor Penguins have necks that glisten gold. The Little Penguin is blue and white. Penguins are found in the Southern Hemisphere, from the Equator to Antarctica.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

They'll frolic and play, fucking in a winter wonderland. By RejectReality. Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Josh finished off his meal before half of the other employees had even made it through the queue. He came from a poor family with three kids, and whoever ate the fastest got dibs on seconds, so he'd been in the habit of wolfing down his food all his life. Thankfully, the company had learned from the previous year's fiasco. The food had been bad enough that they'd stopped going super cheap on company meals, and had found a caterer that seemed to do everything right. It wasn't a proper family Christmas dinner, but it was as close as one could get on a mass catering scale. The caterer's track record with good food was the tipping point that had convinced him to make the long drive to the Christmas party. The door prizes were nice, but a long shot. The food was a sure thing.Pleasantly full, he chatted with a couple of the other loading dock workers he was friendly with for a few minutes, and then went to refill his iced tea. So much for that idea, he thought as he approached the beverage dispensers. There were several people on the dock he wasn't fond of, but Anthony he absolutely couldn't stand. From the looks of him, he was ranting about something, and he was standing right next to the dispensers. The guy was lazy, full of himself, and bitched constantly about how he was being singled out and treated unfairly, by everyone and everything. Another glass of tea wasn't worth the aggravation. Josh glanced at his phone and saw that it was going to be over an hour before they started announcing door prizes. He decided to throw on his coat and head to his car in the parking lot for a while, where he had tunes that weren't Christmas music, and a bottle of Coke. It was a sunny winter's day with no wind, and so felt far warmer than it actually was. When he climbed in his car on the back side of the hotel, he found that the sun streaming through the windows had kept it warm enough that he didn't even need the heater to feel comfortable. He drank his Coke, listened to music, and took in the view. The hotel where the company had rented the banquet hall wasn't part of the ski resort proper, but still had a great view of the snow-blanketed mountains. According to the signage, there were hiking trails through the pines and picnic shelters as well. Beyond the mounds pushed up by the plows were pristine natural drifts guided by the lay of the land and whim of the wind. Snow hung thick on the boughs of the pines rising out of those drifts. Above them was the majesty of the mountains. It was a far different view than at home, where the mountains were a distant vision, most often blocked by buildings, and the snow was a dingy grey. He knew he could get an even better look if he took advantage of the slight discount the company had arranged on the slopes of the resort. The key word was slight, and he had never been on a pair of skis or a snowboard. That was something he didn't want to try to learn in front of coworkers he would class as acquaintances rather than friends. After only a few minutes of sitting, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye, and glanced toward the back door of the hotel, where he'd just exited. A woman was standing there in the open door, facing inside. She had a great ass and long dark hair hanging in pigtails from a white knit cap. He thought he knew her, and when she turned slightly, it confirmed his guess. Leigh was fresh out of high school, hot as hell, and worked in one of the outlying departments of the warehouse. She was also Anthony's girlfriend. Maybe not for long, Josh thought rather smugly when he realized she was gesturing angrily at him, where he stood just inside the door. It served him right as far as Josh was concerned. He had no idea what any woman saw in the jackass, let alone a sweet little hottie like Leigh. Leigh turned and walked away from the hotel, and Anthony didn't follow. As she approached, he could see that she was red-faced and had misty eyes. Her expression was likewise a mixture of anger and sorrow. He assumed she was heading for her car, but when she reached the back of the lot, she stepped onto the snow-covered trail leading into the pine forest. It didn't seem like a particularly good decision, but he was torn. If he followed after her, he could very well come off as a creeper. On the other hand, she was obviously upset and not thinking clearly. Wandering into an unfamiliar, snowy forest in that state was a recipe for potential disaster. He agonized over the decision for a minute or so, until she actually vanished into the trees. That was what finally encouraged him to get up and follow her. Hers were the only footprints in the inch or so of snow that had fallen the night before, making her easy to track. Catching up was a different matter entirely. She was moving quickly along the curving path, and paying no mind to where the snow had drifted a couple of inches deeper here and there. Josh increased his pace when he realized just how far ahead she must be. He caught up after a bend in the trail near one of the picnic shelters to see her looking warily over her shoulder. She visibly relaxed when she recognized him. "You okay, Leigh?" he asked. "I'm okay, I guess," she answered. He could see where her previously unshed tears had rolled down her cheeks as she walked. "I was worried when I saw you walking back here alone. I'll leave you alone if you want, but I wanted to check on you." "No, it's okay. I should really go back. I wasn't thinking about how stupid it was until I heard you behind me and didn't know who was following me." "Sorry to scare you." He noticed that one of the picnic tables beneath the shelter had avoided being covered in snow thanks to thick, overhanging pine boughs. He pointed and asked, "You want to sit down?" "I..." She hesitated and fidgeted for a moment before continuing, "Sure." Josh shuffled his feet, making a path through the snow over to the shelter. They both stomped the snow off their shoes near the table, where only a dusting covered the concrete. He then climbed up to sit on the table, rather than the seat, and she did the same. "You work on the dock with..." She trailed off, leaving the name unsaid. "It's Josh, right?" she asked. He nodded. "Can I ask you something?" "Go ahead." "Does Anthony talk about me? About us?" Josh hesitated, knowing that what her boyfriend said about her probably wasn't something she wanted to hear. "Well, we don't really talk much." "But you hear him, I'm sure," she said with a slight roll of her eyes. "Be honest. What does he say about me?" He had no reason whatsoever to protect Anthony, and though he knew it would be hard to hear, she probably suspected the truth anyway. So he answered, "It's mostly about sex, and complaining about anything else you want to do as smothering him." "He doesn't call me his girlfriend, does he?" "It's mostly my bitch." She clenched her teeth and let out a little growl. "Has he ever talked about cheating on me?" "Like I said, we don't get along... But I have seen things that make me think he might." "That skank Jennifer?" Rumor was that Jennifer had slept with at least a dozen men from the warehouse and a couple of supervisors, one of whom was married. Her suspicions were hardly without evidence, and he told her, "I've seen him talking to her a few times after work in the parking lot." "I knew it. I am so tired of his shit." She then sighed, caught his gaze, and said, "Thanks for telling me the truth." Damn, she's beautiful, Josh thought as her eyes softened. "You're welcome." Leigh said, "I almost didn't come today. I'm glad I did now." She then looked around and said, "It's really pretty out here." Though he much preferred to enjoy the scenery right in front of him, he took in their surroundings as well. "Yeah. No tracks in the snow, and the snow hanging on all the pine boughs. The little beams of light that sneak through and light up patches of snow. It's nice." "Just far enough away that you can pretend the hotel isn't just over there, because you can't see it." "Peaceful, and quiet," he agreed. Leigh made eye contact with him again. She was smiling, and her deep brown eyes were alight, once again entrapping him. "I don't know why I can't find a nice guy, like you." "I'm a guy like me," he said before his brain could catch up with his mouth. He instantly winced and looked away, knowing how ridiculous it sounded. Leigh laughed, though it had none of the mocking tone he expected after delivering such a cheesy line. She then reached up, cupped his chin, and guided him to look at her. "Sorry. That..." He couldn't finish. His face felt so hot from embarrassment that he was surprised he didn't see water pouring off the roof from the snow melting away. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It was kind of cute, and sweet actually." He nearly gasped from the sparks flying between them as they looked into each other's eyes. The next thing he knew, she was scooting closer to him, and then leaning in. He didn't hesitate in the slightest to return her soft, sweet kiss. Leigh let out a quiet moan when their lips parted. They locked eyes, and simultaneously sought each other's lips once more. Josh's tongue slipped over hers, and he lifted his hand to caress her face. She tousled his hair and stroked his arm. Her kisses grew steadily more passionate, and he eagerly matched her. He wondered what she was doing when she reached up between them and unzipped her coat. She didn't leave him guessing for long, and guided his hand to her breast before reaching between his legs. She moaned into their hungry kiss when she felt his hardness. She was still squeezing his erection through his pants when she once again redirected the hand exploring her breasts. She guided it beneath her gray and black mottled sweater, and then back to the firm mounds again. No bra impeded his access to her, and he squeezed her left breast while running a thumb over her stiff nipple. Leigh broke from the kiss, but stayed close enough for him to continue fondling her firm, eighteen-year-old breasts. She bit her lower lip for a moment, and then began unbuttoning his pants. "What are you doing?" he asked in disbelief. "What do you think?" she countered as she made quick work of the button and zipper. She fished his cock out into the crisp winter air, but it wasn't exposed long. He turned his hand as she leaned into his lap, never losing contact with her breast, and settled the other on the back of her head. Josh groaned when she took him in her hot little mouth. Anthony is a fucking idiot, Josh thought as she worshiped his cock with slow, deep sucks. "That feels so good, Leigh," he encouraged her in a voice barely above a whisper. Leigh moaned around him, adding a new layer to the incredible sensation. After a few more sucks, she released him, blew out a long, slow breath over his saliva-slick member and said in a husky voice, "I need you." He began, "Do you want to go back to my—" She cut him off by sitting up and saying, "I need you right now." She lifted her foot and began sliding off one of her black, fur-topped boots. Josh instinctively looked back toward the trail. They were out of sight of the hotel, but they weren't that far away. Leigh didn't seem to be the slightest bit concerned. She'd already pulled off one of her boots, and removed the other as soon as he turned back. "This is crazy," he said. "Uh huh," she agreed even as she began popping open the buttons of her pants. Crazy or not, there was no turning back as she stood on the seat and began to wriggle out of her pants. A groaning sigh escaped him as the material slipped down to her thighs, revealing her shaved pussy. "Awe!" Leigh exclaimed when her bare bottom hit the cold wood of the table, but it didn't deter her. She nodded over her shoulder and said, "Lay down," while she finished removing her pants. Josh unzipped his bulky coat, slipped his arms out of the sleeves, and reclined atop it as he drank in the sight of her, naked from the waist down, quickly rolling up her pants. She placed them atop his coat by his chest, and then reached for his pants. He lifted his ass so she could wrestle them down to his thighs. A second later, she stepped over him to a reverse-cowgirl position. Leigh looked back over her shoulder as she squatted over his lap and quickly asked, "Is this okay?" He nodded and then dropped his eyes back to the sight of her tight little ass. She didn't waste any time reaching down to stand his cock up straight and lowering her pussy to it. A moment later, the chilly kiss of the wind was replaced by her warm, velvety walls engulfing him. Leigh gasped, and he groaned. Josh grabbed her waist when she began to ride him. Leigh undulated, letting out little moans as her pussy slid up and down his cock. Her right hand moved from his leg to in front of her, and she whimpered when she began to rub her clit. "Oh god, yeah," he groaned. "S-so good," she whimpered in response. "So big." Her strained tone was practically screaming bigger than that dickhead Anthony, which brought a grin to his face. She moved a little faster, and her sounds of pleasure rose in volume to match. The dark fans of her pigtails began to sway across the white of her jacket. "Ah fuck," he exclaimed while shuddering from the feeling of her tight, wet pussy milking his cock. She seemed to agree when she responded, "Uh huh. Oh yeah." After a few more sweet gyrations, she said, "Warn me if you're going to come." Josh let out a growl and said, "Okay, I will." Leigh leaned forward, allowing her hips to move at an even faster pace. It also let him see his cock sliding into her pretty pink pussy. She was soaking wet, and his erection glistened in the dappled light with her juices. Josh let his hands glide over her hips, her quivering ass, and up her waist beneath her sweater. Beneath the wool, her skin was hot, in sharp contrast to the slight chill where she wasn't covered. "Oh my god," she exclaimed after half a minute or so, and then began to bounce hard on his erection. Her ass clapped against his skin, the sound echoing back from the roof above and the surrounding trees. Josh dug his fingers into her hips, pulling down when she descended and bucking his hips at the bottom of the stroke. The smacks of colliding flesh grew even louder, and he could hear the wet crackle of his cock penetrating her. Wrong as it was, having his cock buried in Anthony's girlfriend was an incredible thrill. On top of that was the dangerous excitement of possibly being caught. It made him throb hard in her tight, slippery embrace. "Ah! Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah!" she cried as her pleasure mounted. "Yeah, ride me," he encouraged her. "So fucking hot." "So full. So good. Oh, Josh..." "Leigh, you're so sexy." She looked back over her shoulder, and her ecstasy was plainly written on her face. "My pussy feel good?" "Incredible. God, you're beautiful." Leigh whimpered and a smile merged with her tightened features. She looked at him for a second or two longer before gasping and wiggling her ass with him balls deep inside her. Then her hips rose and slammed back down on him again. "Oh, baby," he groaned. "Yes." "I want you to come." "Oh yes. Yes!" He could see how fast her hand was moving between her legs, and even hear the skitch skitch sound of her fingers flashing over her folds, between the slaps of flesh on flesh. She whimpered, "Feels so good. Gonna... Gonna make me come." Josh growled and gripped her hips even tighter. "Oh yeah. Come." "So close. Oh god!" she cried, and then went absolutely wild. Leigh impaled herself on his hard cock with reckless abandon. Her feminine grunts of exertion were incredibly sexy, and triggered an itch in the head of his cock that was quickly swelling. The skin beneath his hands felt nearly as warm as it had beneath her sweater as the effort raised her body temperature. He likewise no longer noticed the chill of the air on his skin as his pleasure mounted. "Yes. Do it. Do it. Come for me," he growled while fighting off an eruption. Leigh was beyond words. She serenaded him with increasingly, almost alarmingly, considering the situation, loud sounds of pleasure. Josh closed his eyes, as he was careening toward an orgasm as well. Not being able to see her did little to curb the urgency, however. He was on the verge of warning her that he was going to come when he felt her jerk, and then slam down over his hips one final time. She yelped as her walls clenched around him in orgasm. "C-coming!" she squealed a moment later. Josh bucked his hips up into her climaxing pussy and grunted, "Yeah. Yeah. Fuck!" Leigh twitched, jerked, and whimpered atop him as the throes took control of her. Josh clenched his teeth and stiffened. Her canal squeezing around his cock was nudging him closer to the edge by the moment. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer. "Shit. Gonna come. Gonna come," he warned her in clipped grunts. Leigh lurched off his cock with a pained whimper that warbled when she was left empty. She drew in noisy breaths as she dropped forward onto her hands. Then she haltingly pushed back toward him. He could see steam curling from her hot flesh where sweat and her juices were evaporating into the cold, dry air. His eyes snapped closed a fraction of a second later when she took his cock in her mouth. Leigh bobbed her head in short strokes, and it didn't take long. She croaked when his hips thrust upward of their own accord as he surrendered to orgasm. Josh grunted and gasped, pumping cum into Leigh's eager mouth. She sucked hard and worked her lips around his pulsing shaft, milking out every drop he had to offer. His ejaculations were so powerful that he started to feel light-headed from the intensity. He both heard and felt her long, satisfied moan when the last few dribbles oozed onto her tongue. She kept sucking. His head cleared in a flash as he grew sensitive. For a second, all he could do was pant through clenched teeth. Then he grunted, "Shit. Ah, god damn." Leigh's next moan was a devilish chuckle. She kept her lips locked around him for a few agonizing seconds, and then finally let him slip free. His sigh of relief was premature, because she wasn't done. She tongued the head of his cock, causing him to grip the edge of the table and thrash beneath her. Finally, she had mercy and rested her head on his leg. "I came so hard," she said in a languid voice. "God, Leigh. Me too." She moaned, but then they both simultaneously shivered as the heat of their orgasms ebbed, letting them feel the bite of the cold air once more. Leigh was the first to move, as she was far more exposed. She sat up over her knees with her teeth chattering, and snatched up her pants. As soon as she moved to pull them on, he was quick to do the same. Josh zipped up his coat, watching her wrestle her pants back up. She continued to shiver even after zipping up her coat, so he curled a hand around her back, and pulled her into an embrace. A soft moan marked the change in her shiver from one of cold to something entirely different. Their eyes met. They both smiled, laughed, and moved in for a kiss. She had a look of surprised delight on her face when their lips parted. "Anthony would never kiss me after I sucked him off." Josh kissed her again, proving it didn't bother him in the slightest. "We should probably get back, huh?" she said as they caressed each other's faces. He nodded. "So... Uhm... What are you going to do?" "Tell him its over. He probably won't care." "Fucking moron." Leigh giggled. "Let's go. I want to get this over and done." They walked together down the trail, across the parking lot, and then into the hotel. Once in the banquet hall, they split up so Leigh could break up with the jackass. Josh watched out of the corner of his eye, and felt a surge of anger when Anthony did little more than wave his hand and walk away from her. What a fucking prick, he thought. The anger evaporated in an instant when Leigh walked toward him wearing a beatific smile. When she reached him and took his hand, he caught a glimpse of Anthony. The smug, dismissive look on the asshole's face turned to one of pure rage. Josh only looked for a fraction of a second before redirecting his attention to Leigh. "So, he was my ride," she said. "Give me a ride home?" He nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little smug when she lifted up onto her toes to kiss him. She then whispered into his ear, "And give me a ride at home?" They completely ignored the announcement of the first door prize as they walked toward the door hand-in-hand, both content with the treasure that was already theirs. By RejectReality for Literotica

After only a few minutes of sitting, he saw movement out of the corner of his eye, and glanced toward the back door of the hotel, where he'd just exited. A woman was standing there in the open door, facing inside. She had a great ass and long dark hair hanging in pigtails from a white knit cap. He thought he knew her, and when she turned slightly, it confirmed his guess. Leigh was fresh out of high school, hot as hell, and worked in one of the outlying departments of the warehouse. She was also Anthony's girlfriend. Maybe not for long, Josh thought rather smugly when he realized she was gesturing angrily at him, where he stood just inside the door. It served him right as far as Josh was concerned. He had no idea what any woman saw in the jackass, let alone a sweet little hottie like Leigh. Leigh turned and walked away from the hotel, and Anthony didn't follow. As she approached, he could see that she was red-faced and had misty eyes. Her expression was likewise a mixture of anger and sorrow. He assumed she was heading for her car, but when she reached the back of the lot, she stepped onto the snow-covered trail leading into the pine forest. It didn't seem like a particularly good decision, but he was torn. If he followed after her, he could very well come off as a creeper. On the other hand, she was obviously upset and not thinking clearly. Wandering into an unfamiliar, snowy forest in that state was a recipe for potential disaster. He agonized over the decision for a minute or so, until she actually vanished into the trees. That was what finally encouraged him to get up and follow her. Hers were the only footprints in the inch or so of snow that had fallen the night before, making her easy to track. Catching up was a different matter entirely. She was moving quickly along the curving path, and paying no mind to where the snow had drifted a couple of inches deeper here and there. Josh increased his pace when he realized just how far ahead she must be. He caught up after a bend in the trail near one of the picnic shelters to see her looking warily over her shoulder. She visibly relaxed when she recognized him. "You okay, Leigh?" he asked. "I'm okay, I guess," she answered. He could see where her previously unshed tears had rolled down her cheeks as she walked. "I was worried when I saw you walking back here alone. I'll leave you alone if you want, but I wanted to check on you." "No, it's okay. I should really go back. I wasn't thinking about how stupid it was until I heard you behind me and didn't know who was following me." "Sorry to scare you." He noticed that one of the picnic tables beneath the shelter had avoided being covered in snow thanks to thick, overhanging pine boughs. He pointed and asked, "You want to sit down?" "I..." She hesitated and fidgeted for a moment before continuing, "Sure." Josh shuffled his feet, making a path through the snow over to the shelter. They both stomped the snow off their shoes near the table, where only a dusting covered the concrete. He then climbed up to sit on the table, rather than the seat, and she did the same. "You work on the dock with..." She trailed off, leaving the name unsaid. "It's Josh, right?" she asked. He nodded. "Can I ask you something?" "Go ahead." "Does Anthony talk about me? About us?" Josh hesitated, knowing that what her boyfriend said about her probably wasn't something she wanted to hear. "Well, we don't really talk much." "But you hear him, I'm sure," she said with a slight roll of her eyes. "Be honest. What does he say about me?" He had no reason whatsoever to protect Anthony, and though he knew it would be hard to hear, she probably suspected the truth anyway. So he answered, "It's mostly about sex, and complaining about anything else you want to do as smothering him." "He doesn't call me his girlfriend, does he?" "It's mostly my bitch." She clenched her teeth and let out a little growl. "Has he ever talked about cheating on me?" "Like I said, we don't get along... But I have seen things that make me think he might." "That skank Jennifer?" Rumor was that Jennifer had slept with at least a dozen men from the warehouse and a couple of supervisors, one of whom was married. Her suspicions were hardly without evidence, and he told her, "I've seen him talking to her a few times after work in the parking lot." "I knew it. I am so tired of his shit." She then sighed, caught his gaze, and said, "Thanks for telling me the truth." Damn, she's beautiful, Josh thought as her eyes softened. "You're welcome." Leigh said, "I almost didn't come today. I'm glad I did now." She then looked around and said, "It's really pretty out here." Though he much preferred to enjoy the scenery right in front of him, he took in their surroundings as well. "Yeah. No tracks in the snow, and the snow hanging on all the pine boughs. The little beams of light that sneak through and light up patches of snow. It's nice." "Just far enough away that you can pretend the hotel isn't just over there, because you can't see it." "Peaceful, and quiet," he agreed. Leigh made eye contact with him again. She was smiling, and her deep brown eyes were alight, once again entrapping him. "I don't know why I can't find a nice guy, like you." "I'm a guy like me," he said before his brain could catch up with his mouth. He instantly winced and looked away, knowing how ridiculous it sounded. Leigh laughed, though it had none of the mocking tone he expected after delivering such a cheesy line. She then reached up, cupped his chin, and guided him to look at her. "Sorry. That..." He couldn't finish. His face felt so hot from embarrassment that he was surprised he didn't see water pouring off the roof from the snow melting away. She smiled and said, "It's okay. It was kind of cute, and sweet actually." He nearly gasped from the sparks flying between them as they looked into each other's eyes. The next thing he knew, she was scooting closer to him, and then leaning in. He didn't hesitate in the slightest to return her soft, sweet kiss. Leigh let out a quiet moan when their lips parted. They locked eyes, and simultaneously sought each other's lips once more. Josh's tongue slipped over hers, and he lifted his hand to caress her face. She tousled his hair and stroked his arm. Her kisses grew steadily more passionate, and he eagerly matched her. He wondered what she was doing when she reached up between them and unzipped her coat. She didn't leave him guessing for long, and guided his hand to her breast before reaching between his legs. She moaned into their hungry kiss when she felt his hardness. She was still squeezing his erection through his pants when she once again redirected the hand exploring her breasts. She guided it beneath her gray and black mottled sweater, and then back to the firm mounds again. No bra impeded his access to her, and he squeezed her left breast while running a thumb over her stiff nipple. Leigh broke from the kiss, but stayed close enough for him to continue fondling her firm, eighteen-year-old breasts. She bit her lower lip for a moment, and then began unbuttoning his pants. "What are you doing?" he asked in disbelief. "What do you think?" she countered as she made quick work of the button and zipper. She fished his cock out into the crisp winter air, but it wasn't exposed long. He turned his hand as she leaned into his lap, never losing contact with her breast, and settled the other on the back of her head. Josh groaned when she took him in her hot little mouth. Anthony is a fucking idiot, Josh thought as she worshiped his cock with slow, deep sucks. "That feels so good, Leigh," he encouraged her in a voice barely above a whisper. Leigh moaned around him, adding a new layer to the incredible sensation. After a few more sucks, she released him, blew out a long, slow breath over his saliva-slick member and said in a husky voice, "I need you." He began, "Do you want to go back to my—" She cut him off by sitting up and saying, "I need you right now." She lifted her foot and began sliding off one of her black, fur-topped boots. Josh instinctively looked back toward the trail. They were out of sight of the hotel, but they weren't that far away. Leigh didn't seem to be the slightest bit concerned. She'd already pulled off one of her boots, and removed the other as soon as he turned back. "This is crazy," he said. "Uh huh," she agreed even as she began popping open the buttons of her pants. Crazy or not, there was no turning back as she stood on the seat and began to wriggle out of her pants. A groaning sigh escaped him as the material slipped down to her thighs, revealing her shaved pussy. "Awe!" Leigh exclaimed when her bare bottom hit the cold wood of the table, but it didn't deter her. She nodded over her shoulder and said, "Lay down," while she finished removing her pants. Josh unzipped his bulky coat, slipped his arms out of the sleeves, and reclined atop it as he drank in the sight of her, naked from the waist down, quickly rolling up her pants. She placed them atop his coat by his chest, and then reached for his pants. He lifted his ass so she could wrestle them down to his thighs. A second later, she stepped over him to a reverse-cowgirl position. Leigh looked back over her shoulder as she squatted over his lap and quickly asked, "Is this okay?" He nodded and then dropped his eyes back to the sight of her tight little ass. She didn't waste any time reaching down to stand his cock up straight and lowering her pussy to it. A moment later, the chilly kiss of the wind was replaced by her warm, velvety walls engulfing him. Leigh gasped, and he groaned. Josh grabbed her waist when she began to ride him. Leigh undulated, letting out little moans as her pussy slid up and down his cock. Her right hand moved from his leg to in front of her, and she whimpered when she began to rub her clit. "Oh god, yeah," he groaned. "S-so good," she whimpered in response. "So big." Her strained tone was practically screaming bigger than that dickhead Anthony, which brought a grin to his face. She moved a little faster, and her sounds of pleasure rose in volume to match. The dark fans of her pigtails began to sway across the white of her jacket. "Ah fuck," he exclaimed while shuddering from the feeling of her tight, wet pussy milking his cock. She seemed to agree when she responded, "Uh huh. Oh yeah." After a few more sweet gyrations, she said, "Warn me if you're going to come." Josh let out a growl and said, "Okay, I will." Leigh leaned forward, allowing her hips to move at an even faster pace. It also let him see his cock sliding into her pretty pink pussy. She was soaking wet, and his erection glistened in the dappled light with her juices. Josh let his hands glide over her hips, her quivering ass, and up her waist beneath her sweater. Beneath the wool, her skin was hot, in sharp contrast to the slight chill where she wasn't covered. "Oh my god," she exclaimed after half a minute or so, and then began to bounce hard on his erection. Her ass clapped against his skin, the sound echoing back from the roof above and the surrounding trees. Josh dug his fingers into her hips, pulling down when she descended and bucking his hips at the bottom of the stroke. The smacks of colliding flesh grew even louder, and he could hear the wet crackle of his cock penetrating her. Wrong as it was, having his cock buried in Anthony's girlfriend was an incredible thrill. On top of that was the dangerous excitement of possibly being caught. It made him throb hard in her tight, slippery embrace. "Ah! Oh! Ah! Ah! Ah!" she cried as her pleasure mounted. "Yeah, ride me," he encouraged her. "So fucking hot." "So full. So good. Oh, Josh..." "Leigh, you're so sexy." She looked back over her shoulder, and her ecstasy was plainly written on her face. "My pussy feel good?" "Incredible. God, you're beautiful." Leigh whimpered and a smile merged with her tightened features. She looked at him for a second or two longer before gasping and wiggling her ass with him balls deep inside her. Then her hips rose and slammed back down on him again. "Oh, baby," he groaned. "Yes." "I want you to come." "Oh yes. Yes!" He could see how fast her hand was moving between her legs, and even hear the skitch skitch sound of her fingers flashing over her folds, between the slaps of flesh on flesh. She whimpered, "Feels so good. Gonna... Gonna make me come." Josh growled and gripped her hips even tighter. "Oh yeah. Come." "So close. Oh god!" she cried, and then went absolutely wild. Leigh impaled herself on his hard cock with reckless abandon. Her feminine grunts of exertion were incredibly sexy, and triggered an itch in the head of his cock that was quickly swelling. The skin beneath his hands felt nearly as warm as it had beneath her sweater as the effort raised her body temperature. He likewise no longer noticed the chill of the air on his skin as his pleasure mounted. "Yes. Do it. Do it. Come for me," he growled while fighting off an eruption. Leigh was beyond words. She serenaded him with increasingly, almost alarmingly, considering the situation, loud sounds of pleasure. Josh closed his eyes, as he was careening toward an orgasm as well. Not being able to see her did little to curb the urgency, however. He was on the verge of warning her that he was going to come when he felt her jerk, and then slam down over his hips one final time. She yelped as her walls clenched around him in orgasm. "C-coming!" she squealed a moment later. Josh bucked his hips up into her climaxing pussy and grunted, "Yeah. Yeah. Fuck!" Leigh twitched, jerked, and whimpered atop him as the throes took control of her. Josh clenched his teeth and stiffened. Her canal squeezing around his cock was nudging him closer to the edge by the moment. He knew he wasn't going to last much longer. "Shit. Gonna come. Gonna come," he warned her in clipped grunts. Leigh lurched off his cock with a pained whimper that warbled when she was left empty. She drew in noisy breaths as she dropped forward onto her hands. Then she haltingly pushed back toward him. He could see steam curling from her hot flesh where sweat and her juices were evaporating into the cold, dry air. His eyes snapped closed a fraction of a second later when she took his cock in her mouth. Leigh bobbed her head in short strokes, and it didn't take long. She croaked when his hips thrust upward of their own accord as he surrendered to orgasm. Josh grunted and gasped, pumping cum into Leigh's eager mouth. She sucked hard and worked her lips around his pulsing shaft, milking out every drop he had to offer. His ejaculations were so powerful that he started to feel light-headed from the intensity. He both heard and felt her long, satisfied moan when the last few dribbles oozed onto her tongue. She kept sucking. His head cleared in a flash as he grew sensitive. For a second, all he could do was pant through clenched teeth. Then he grunted, "Shit. Ah, god damn." Leigh's next moan was a devilish chuckle. She kept her lips locked around him for a few agonizing seconds, and then finally let him slip free. His sigh of relief was premature, because she wasn't done. She tongued the head of his cock, causing him to grip the edge of the table and thrash beneath her. Finally, she had mercy and rested her head on his leg. "I came so hard," she said in a languid voice. "God, Leigh. Me too." She moaned, but then they both simultaneously shivered as the heat of their orgasms ebbed, letting them feel the bite of the cold air once more. Leigh was the first to move, as she was far more exposed. She sat up over her knees with her teeth chattering, and snatched up her pants. As soon as she moved to pull them on, he was quick to do the same. Josh zipped up his coat, watching her wrestle her pants back up. She continued to shiver even after zipping up her coat, so he curled a hand around her back, and pulled her into an embrace. A soft moan marked the change in her shiver from one of cold to something entirely different. Their eyes met. They both smiled, laughed, and moved in for a kiss. She had a look of surprised delight on her face when their lips parted. "Anthony would never kiss me after I sucked him off." Josh kissed her again, proving it didn't bother him in the slightest. "We should probably get back, huh?" she said as they caressed each other's faces. He nodded. "So... Uhm... What are you going to do?" "Tell him its over. He probably won't care." "Fucking moron." Leigh giggled. "Let's go. I want to get this over and done." They walked together down the trail, across the parking lot, and then into the hotel. Once in the banquet hall, they split up so Leigh could break up with the jackass. Josh watched out of the corner of his eye, and felt a surge of anger when Anthony did little more than wave his hand and walk away from her. What a fucking prick, he thought. The anger evaporated in an instant when Leigh walked toward him wearing a beatific smile. When she reached him and took his hand, he caught a glimpse of Anthony. The smug, dismissive look on the asshole's face turned to one of pure rage. Josh only looked for a fraction of a second before redirecting his attention to Leigh. "So, he was my ride," she said. "Give me a ride home?" He nodded, and couldn't help but feel a little smug when she lifted up onto her toes to kiss him. She then whispered into his ear, "And give me a ride at home?" They completely ignored the announcement of the first door prize as they walked toward the door hand-in-hand, both content with the treasure that was already theirs. By RejectReality for Literotica

For the latest podcast Ali spoke to TV comedy writer and author Lee Stuart Evans to talk about his new novel Pleasantly Disturbed, which is published with Scratching Shed Publishing Ltd. Lee gives a brief synopsis of the novel before talking about why he wanted to write it, and the central part music, and particularly Simple Minds, plays in the story he wanted to tell. The two then go deep on their shared appreciation of the 'Minds, before talking about music obsessions, the strength of fandom - particularly in the formative years, the influence of Gregory's Girl and the films of John Hughes, and how, in your teens, and to quote Ferris Bueller, "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it". It's an amiable and affable conversation which gets to the heart of why pop culture, and music in particular, can not just affect but change and shape lives, and it was such a pleasure to discuss Lee's novel in detail, but there's so much more.

But then you need to take a piece of that and break it down into an action that you can take because otherwise it's just a bunch of information.

We're big, big fans of canines in general, as you all know.Lesley Logan 3:16  Oh yeah, you know, you can get a dog that can tell if you need insulin, or can tell if you need a different vitamin, like you can train these dogs.Brad Crowell 3:24  Or if you're having a seizure. Lesley Logan 3:25  Yeah, you guys, there's so many of these dogs around now, and also, there's so many different organizations that could help if you don't have the funds to access one of these dogs on your own. Like, it's worth advocating for yourself and finding someone who's literally raising money to do this and give it to you. So you know, know that if you have a friend in need. Okay, so.Brad Crowell 3:42  You got a friend in me. Lesley Logan 3:44  In case you had it on your bingo card. Bean day, I don't think you get much out of this. Keep singing while I do the upcoming events and travel. Okay, you guys. So eLevate applications.Brad Crowell 3:57  Oh, actually, today, the 22nd, we're what? We're in L.A. We're heading to L.A. right now. We're driving. Lesley Logan 4:01  We're on our way to L.A. today. Brad Crowell 4:02  We're driving to L.A. Lesley Logan 4:03  Yes, we're going, I'm working with my mentors for the weekend. It's actually like my little Pilates vacation for me after the tour. So there was an opportunity to teach, and I said, thank you. I feel so seen and I would like to be a student because I all have, I've just been teaching, so I'm going to do that. So I may be with my mentor, but what's really fun is that I can tell you about my mentorship program. And my mentorship program is for teachers, and it is a really fun program going into our fifth round next year, and you can still apply. And also, Brad, like, loaded up, some awesome things you can get if you like, sign yourself up. So if you have questions about it, you'll actually get all those questions pretty much answered at lesleylogan.co/elevate. You can also take a fun class with us. You can hear from past eLevate members. And also you should know that when you do graduate, it's not over. I don't go see ya. Never want to see you again. Brad Crowell 4:57  Wouldn't want to be yah. Lesley Logan 4:58  You actually joined the alumni group and we do fun retreats together. So that's for you. That's eLevate, lesleylogan.co/elevate. Cambodia retreat. Holy freaking moly, it's August. That means we are so close to going to Cambodia for fall. But you can't come to that one because it's sold out. But you can come to the February one. Brad Crowell 5:16  Six months from now. Lesley Logan 5:16  Yes, six months. Brad Crowell 5:17  There's still six months. Actually, it's literally the 23rd to the 28th of Feb. So six months and a day, Lesley Logan 5:23  Six months and a day. Brad Crowell 5:24  From now, we're gonna be back in Cambodia. The time of recording this, there's still room to join us. So.Lesley Logan 5:29  And you know what? It's not too late, because really the best time to buy a flight is like three to four months before. So truly, this is the best time to sign up and snag your spot go to crowsnestretreats.com. That is crows with a S and nest with an S in the middle, and retreats with an S at the end. So. Brad Crowell 5:50  Thanks. Lesley Logan 5:51  Two words are plural. One's not. There you go. It's a dot com on that one. Try out OPC. You guys, do you know that OPC was made for you? I just did a really fun interview where someone was asking me about, how does OPC help people ditch perfection and also prioritize themselves first and have some self-care? And I was like, oh, because you're not supposed to be perfect when you do Pilates. You're supposed to just be in practice and we constantly remind you of that in every single class, while also providing tips and ways that you can get more depth and more out of an exercise, and then reminding you that if an exercise is not right for you yet, you get to do something that is and so even if you go to a studio already, did you know that you could also be an OPC member? That's right, you could go somewhere else and still do OPC with us on your other days.Brad Crowell 6:38  Wait a minute. Are you saying two things can happen at the same time?Lesley Logan 6:42  I am, I am, and so if you want to try us out, go to opc.me/40.Brad Crowell 6:49  Yeah and I have been kicking off another webinar here from Profitable Pilates, all about if you're feeling stuck with your money in your business, whether you're a super, super small business, or you have a brick and mortar with a full team. If you're feeling stuck with your money, come join me for a free upcoming webinar called the Accelerator program, studio business growth accelerator, go to P-R-F-I-T dot biz slash accelerator. Get yourself signed up. It's totally free, prfit.biz/accelerator. Lesley Logan 7:21  Profit without the O. Brad Crowell 7:22  That's right. Profit without the O. Thanks for saying that. Lesley Logan 7:24  Biz with an I-Z. there. Brad Crowell 7:26  (Inaudible).There, that's right, B-I-Zed. Lesley Logan 7:29  Yeah. And accelerator is how you spell it. But you know, sometimes you forget how many C's are in there. So just (inaudible) Brad Crowell 7:35  There's 27 C's in there. Lesley Logan 7:37  Shut up. Before we get into it with Melissa Doman, what's our audience question to answer this week?Brad Crowell 7:45  YouTube Pilates with L said Lesley, I am dead keen to do eLevate. I'm so interested in learning more about classical Pilates. I feel so amazing to finally feel like I'm getting it. How I wonder, did Joe work with injured clients, especially when supine or loaded flexion was contraindicated? There's a lot of big words.Lesley Logan 8:06  Yeah and I like the dead keen. I think that Brad Crowell 8:08  Dead keen. I'm dead keen.Lesley Logan 8:10  Why don't we say that in the States, I'm dead keen.Brad Crowell 8:12  Keen K-E-E-N.Lesley Logan 8:13  It would just turn and now the kids would just call it DK, I'm DK. Yeah. Okay. So here's the deal. I love how in eLevate, we actually get to explore how Joseph Pilates worked with contraindications inside the group, just based on the people who come becauseBrad Crowell 8:28  What is a contraindication? Lesley Logan 8:30  Oh, like, if you have a fusion in your back, then it is contraindicated to do flexion. Or, like, it's like, it's not, it's a no-no. That's what, you see, it's a no no. It's like, if you take a medication, there's other medications that we like contraindicated. So like, it's a no-no to do this with that. So for example, she is saying, like, supine or with loaded flexion. So let me just say, in eLevate. I don't go over like, contraindication by contraindication and (inaudible) because that would take years. And that's like, there are specialties.Brad Crowell 9:06  I have. 28 teeth. Are there any Pilates things that can't doLesley Logan 9:11  Okay. Nothing's contraindicated with that. You can do all the exercises. Lesley Logan 9:14  26?Lesley Logan 9:14  All of them, still can, still can. Brad Crowell 9:16  Three?Lesley Logan 9:17  Yeah, you might all three struggle with the towel exercise. I'm just gonna be honest, you might need more than three. Depends on where the three are. So, just so you know, in eLevate with all the teachers I do go over how Joseph Pilates thought about his work, that was that he that he shared, and how he taught it to people. And that will include going over things that are contraindicated based on what you ask and also the people in the group. And then what's cool is, when you graduate, we still talk about it. Someone just had someone come in who is actually paralyzed from the waist down. And so it's like, okay, what can I do with this person? Here's what I've done. Is there anything I'm missing? And so to answer your question, What did Joe do? Just like, real quickly, he avoided the things you're not supposed to. Just didn't do it. We don't have to fix people, you guys. And also, for those who are not teachers, like your Pilates instructor, should never tell you that they could fix you. And if they did, that's a red flag. What we are here to do is balance your imbalances, and when you balance your imbalances, what ends up happening is you have fewer aches and pains. Right now. As we record this, we're about to go to a chiropractor. My left hip is out of alignment. I can tell you that right now. And so I am feeling–because I fell–I'm feeling aches and pains in my body so when I move, there are just some limitations that I have. If I were to go see Joe, he's not gonna be like, oh, let me work on this left hip of yours. No, that's out of our scope. We're not PT, unless you are. So what he would instead do is work on the imbalances. And what is really cool is I did Pilates today with this out of the line with my hip, and I had way less pain throughout the day today than I did yesterday when I had my fall. Here's the deal. It's not that Pilates completely put it back together, but it balanced some imbalances that were causing that issue. And so that's our goal, and that's what Joseph Pilates would do. And eventually, over time, some of those aches, pains, injuries just go away. Sometimes you need extra help and other things, Pilates is not magic, but Joseph Pilates would not zero in on your little issue on your right pinky toe and, like, work it to death. He would work everything else. Brad Crowell 11:13  Do you believe it's magic? Lesley Logan 11:15  Yeah. And then also, you guys, I help you have the confidence to do that with your clients, I give you like the goal of eLevate is to help you see someone's imbalances, see someone's ache and pain, and actually trust the process and choose the right exercises for them. So that's what you do at eLevate. So if you're keen on that, you should sign up. Brad Crowell 11:33  If you're dead keen. Lesley Logan 11:34  If you're dead keen.Brad Crowell 11:35  That's right. Lesley Logan 11:35  And if and for the rest of you like seriously when it comes to Pilates, make sure your teacher is not like, micromanaging your right pinky toe. You've got other toes, so there's other parts of your body. You should be moving. We're about to do a YouTube video on this, and I'm like, there's no principles because you're just supposed to move. We have to be moving our bodies. If your Pilates class is not moving you enough, then you're in the wrong spot. So come to OPC. Okay, that was a bunch of shameless plugs. Lesley Logan 11:35  If you have questions, contact us. Let us know your question and we will happily work it into the pod. Pleasantly surprised, maybe you'll end up here. All right, stick around. We'll be right back.Lesley Logan 12:13  Okay, now let's talk about Melissa Doman. She's an organizational psychologist, former clinical mental health therapist and author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work, Here's Why (And How to Do It Really Well). Melissa specializes in teaching businesses leaders and individuals how to have realistic and constructive conversations about mental health, team dynamics and communication in the workplace. She's also known for her open and approachable leadership style, drawing from her experience with challenging managers. She said you have to address people who are negatively affecting your mental health at work or being a bully. And this is interesting because I was just talking to this about this with our agency members because they've had a, there's a couple people who've had clients who, like, won't, don't want to pay the late cancelation, and they're bullying them like, you're not a considerate person if you're charging me for this late cancelation policy, like (inaudible) late cancel. And I was like, no, no, they're a bully. They're actually the asshole. You're not the asshole. You told them the rules, they signed, they agreed to the rule, and now they're bullying you to not follow your own rules. And I said, you have to be comfortable. Brad Crowell 13:16  A.I.T.A. Lesley Logan 13:17  Yeah, they are the asshole. And (inaudible) says this all the time, I've repeated this before in the podcast, "We have to be comfortable making people as uncomfortable as they are making us." You have to get comfortable making the person uncomfortable, right? So you don't have to make this person uncomfortable at work, but you have to address this person is making my work experience negative, and it's affecting my mental health and my ability to do my job. And when we try to bottle it up and we keep it to ourselves, it doesn't get better. And by the way, your work is probably the one that's going to suffer, and then also you're going to get in trouble for suffered work and be like this person's been bullying me. That's too late now. It's too late to say that. You should have said that before. Brad Crowell 13:56  Yeah, she actually has a phrase. You'll have to go back and listen to her episode to actually get that phrase. She did, however, the high level overview of it was to pull them aside and say hey, I just need you to know how this is affecting me. You know how what you're doing and how you're doing is affecting me. She said this is really direct and pretty challenging, I acknowledge that. But sometimes it's necessary, it's needed, and it's going to help you stand up for yourself. You're going to feel better about yourself, the whole thing. Lesley Logan 14:32  Yeah, so we have a transcript so you can actually, like, copy paste and like, memorize that to have those conversations. But y'all, if you are working around someone who's affecting your mental health at work, you actually do have the right to say that this is happening. And if you're not feeling heard or supported by your superiors, then don't let people tell you that there's no good jobs out there. I have a client who constantly says how much she hates her job. And she's like, well, I'm not going to leave because the economy is bad. You guys, there are so many jobs out there and employers are doing everything they can to keep the employees they have. You need to know this. They're, like, really, like, they're, what other benefits can we throw at people so they stay in this job? So just trust that you are actually worth what you do. And there are people that need you out there, and there's awesome things you don't have to put up with it. We have a girlfriend who was absolutely being abused by her team at work, and when she finally said something, I'm gonna be out, she waited a long time, so when she finally said something, then they said oh well, she did this to me. And now and then, nothing got solved. Got this, like it sounds stupid, but you gotta say things when they first happen, because it doesn't get easier, it doesn't get better, right? And then by the time you feel like, oh my god, I'm at the end of my rope, I'm gonna say something. It's almost like there's nothing that they can actually do that's gonna make it better. You know, so, so stand up for yourself. Brad Crowell 15:53  Yeah and also, you know, some companies have an HR team, you can also talk to them. In this case, she's talking about directly with radical candor, approaching the person who's affecting you, and she said it also like her example in the episode wasn't necessarily about someone who's abusing you, but someone who says they're going to do something and is late, someone who doesn't actually finish the job, or is passing their work off onto you, or something like that.Lesley Logan 16:21  Yeah, all that is not fun for your mental health either. Brad Crowell 16:25  It is not. Lesley Logan 16:26  And by the way, Radical Candor is a book you should read it. It's really good.Brad Crowell 16:30  Yeah, okay, so I really enjoyed what she was talking about–asking for help. It's good to ask for help. She said, It doesn't matter how much of a badass you are trying to be. Everybody needs support, and this is a really difficult thing for small business owners–and myself included–definitely understand this, you know, the way that I was raised is it's a do it yourself world and you can do it all. And you should do it all because you have no money. Can't pay someone to do it for you anyway. So you should just figure it all out on your own. And so, I took that approach from childhood all the way into everything that I ever did from music into running companies. And the end of the day, it just eats more of your time and you don't ultimately have enough capacity to do all the things that need to happen and you end up being a bottleneck. So it doesn't matter how much of a badass you're trying to be. Everybody needs support. In her case, she said her husband very directly challenged her and said, "Okay, you no longer have the option to do all this stuff because it's now affecting me, and you have to have help. So we're going to find you an executive assistant who can support you." At first she was really reticent to pass things over, to relinquish control. But now she's like, how do I get this off my plate? Right? It's completely changed her approach to everything, because she's starting to see how well, maybe smoother, things can run for her company. It was one of the things that changed our business dramatically was when I realized that years in, I was still being the bottleneck, and then from there, when we shifted that, when I started to try to get out of these things that I had taken away from everybody else and was still doing, it actually allowed things to flow much more smoothly. It's a little bit counterintuitive at first, but it's also ego, you know, oh, I'm the only one that can do this part of it, whatever. Lesley Logan 18:24  I've mentioned this on the pod, and we have had four other episodes I've mentioned it, but like, if you watch the end of My Cousin Vinny, when he finds out that Marisa Tomei's character called in someone called him the judge from New York to, like, verify and validate the type of lawyer that he was, in, you know, his first case, and he got so mad at her. He's like, I wanted to win my case by myself. I wanted to win my first case by myself. And she's like, what if you won all of your cases, all of your cases, and at the end, you had to say, thank you. Oh my god, what a nightmare. And so that was just a really interesting thing that, like, whenever we're trying to do something ourselves, and you have you, like, actually ask for help, people are not gonna go, oh my god, LL asked for help. They're gonna remember, wow, it was so fun to be on LL's team to create this thing, I could be part of this creation. And then she said, thank you. Like, it's all it's like, these are amazing, amazing things. And so we have to just remember that asking for help is not actually about you. It's about sharing and it's actually about taking other people and saying hi, I see you as someone who can do this thing that I really want to do and I want to show my team. And it's actually really fucking cool. Anyways.Brad Crowell 19:43  Yeah, stick around. We're gonna cover those, Be It Action Items next. Brad Crowell 19:46  So let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What are the bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted action items that we could take away from your convo with Melissa Doman? All right, she said, "Hey, people take things the wrong way." Which is why it is so important to be super clear in your communication. We all interpret things based on our own experiences, usually, and so it's possible that someone said something to you, didn't know that they were touching a nerve, or vice versa, that you were maybe triggering something in them. She said before you're having a conversation with someone, usually about how they're affecting your mental health, she said it's important to self-reflect and ask what is it that I didn't like about this situation? She said that people can't read minds, obviously, so that's why clear communication is so necessary. Explain what's going on for you in this scenario, state what you want the others to do or not do with the information. Hey, now that I'm telling you this information, what would be really helpful for me is x, or it would really change things if you did x, right? Then highlight why you're bringing it up to them, deciding the most important things to tell them, so they don't get lost in the detail. So just go high level, right? They don't need a 10-year backstory. You could probably just say this is really affecting me because of some past history that I had, and just leave it at that, and then go on to explain what it is that they're doing and then how it's affecting you and what you would like them to do instead. And she said just avoid over complicating the conversation. She was sharing a story about her challenging the head of HR. She was brought in for a consulting job, and it was a short term gig. She's, I don't know, maybe she was with this company for a few months, or whatever, and everyone was treating her like an outsider in a really negative way. And she was working for the HR team, and she ended up finally challenging the head of HR and saying hey, do you see what you're doing here? This is super uncool, and I don't like it, and it's not fair to me, and I know I'm not part of the team the way that you guys are, but I'm still here to do a job, and this is what's coming across. So she said that's really hard to do. She's willing to be challenging that way, because she's taught herself how to do it over time, you know,. so.Lesley Logan 22:04  I love how she laid this out, because you could be either party in this scenario, but truly, like we had, I had someone come up to me and tell me something, but would give me zero specifics, none. So not even high level, just like, just generics about how we made her feel. And I said, okay, can you give me an example? I don't want to get into it. Okay, well, how would you like me to solve this problem? I don't know. And it's like, so here's the thing, there are assholes out there, but most people are not assholes, and they don't want you to feel bad at work. They don't want to be negatively impacting you. So I love this example because she actually says, how, what to say, explain what's going on for you, and state what you want others to do or not do. And then that way they can actually go, okay, let me think, how do we make this work? Here's how we can do this. I appreciate, like I, people are not mind readers, nor can they also, if the thing that they were doing with no negative intention cause negative impact, you then want them to create another thing that could maybe, like, it's important to kind of know, and that requires all of us to have a little bit more self-awareness and to go inward. Because, again, there are dicks out there, but not everyone is walking around wanting to trigger people or wanting to activate something in people. Most people want you to be the best version of yourself that's out there. Brad Crowell 23:20  Yeah. Well, what about you?Lesley Logan 23:21  So she said, when it comes to mental health at work, awareness is great, action is better. Brad Crowell 23:26  Awareness is great action is better. Lesley Logan 23:28  And you know what? We actually talked about that with Kareen's thing. She's like, manifestation is great, but you gotta take action on it. So hello, action. It's in our intro of the episode. So she talked about like, it's one thing to have the intention to do it, but it's another thing to create the impact and so and she also stressed that, like, you might not be living a big dent, but any dent is helpful. So what does this all mean? It means learning, listening, understanding, mental health, the workplace and the things that you can do–radical candor is all really, really good stuff–but then you need to take a piece of that and break it down into an action that you can take, because otherwise it's just a bunch of information. And if you put yourself into a place where it's like I have to make this big dent, then that's probably also not gonna happen, because systemic change takes time, just does. So if you have a business, or you're working at a company, and there's been something that's going on for a really long time, like just because they're made aware doesn't mean that you just made a thing that happens. So we've got to really do what we can to make the dents we need to, because over time, a dent can get bigger and bigger and bigger if we just keep working at it. So I really like that, because it's one thing for you to listen to this and be inspired by it, but you also, you know, taking action is always gonna be better. Brad Crowell 24:38  Action brings clarity. Lesley Logan 24:39  And it's the antidote to fear. You guys, I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 24:42  And I'm Brad Crowell. Lesley Logan 24:43  Thank you so much for listening to this episode today. You want action you can take after becoming aware? You can share this episode with your friend. Brad Crowell 24:50  We're gonna ask you what action to take right now? Lesley Logan 24:52  Right now (inaudible) guess if you wonder we're not gonna tell you exactly what would make this better. What would make this relationship better between you and me? Would be, if you share this with a friend. Brad Crowell 25:01  That's right. Lesley Logan 25:01  Share this. You could text it to them. You could, like, grab their phone and look for it for them, there's so many different ways you can listen to this episode. It could be on the OPC app. It could be on Apple, Spotify, you name it. Brad Crowell 25:11  You could text it to them every single day. Lesley Logan 25:13  You could, you could do that. You want to know what I get text every single day from campaigns so they clearly have no shame. You shouldn't either. All right, loves, until next time.

On episode 8 of WineText TV, I dive into the world of Prosecco and sparkling wines. The episode highlights the growing popularity of Prosecco in the U.S., its historical evolution, and its value as a high-quality yet affordable alternative to champagne. Hope you enjoy it! PS: You can watch the full episode on https://www.youtube.com/@winetexttv PSS: Sign up for https://winetext.com America's #1 way to buy wine Here are the four wines I tasted: Non Vintage Ca' Furlan Prosecco "For the price, this wine is a damn success. It hits all the right notes for a DOC Prosecco. The nose has slight floral aromas with a hint of poached apples. The palate is very refreshing, with casual bubbles and great balanced fruit. You could trick some folks into thinking it costs more." Non Vintage Zardetto Prosecco Brut Z Non Vintage "Fresh and sapid. Pleasantly acidic thanks to the citrus note enhanced by the flavour of green apple." - Winery Non Vintage Issimo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Extra Dry "Direct from the Veneto region, this sparkling white wine is produced in the Heart of the Prosecco producing region in the town of Refrontolo. It is made from 100% Glera grapes that are fermented and then refermented to preserve their organoleptic quality. The second fermentation employs the “Martinotti” method, also known by the French name “Charmat.” Ideal as an aperitif, with appetizers of savoury pies, canapes and throughout the meal, first courses and fish dishes." - Winery 2022 Silvano Follador Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut "The wine is an ‘extra brut' with no residual sugar, a decision we intentionally made to enhance the original flavor and achieve a natural balance between acidity, sapidity and structure." - Winery Check out my new book - Day Trading Attention: https://garyvee.com/dta — Thanks for watching! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garyvee/message

Jesus wants us to be persistent in prayer because He listens to us, and The Holy Spirit fine tunes our prayers before they get  into the throne room, all the while as we are being shaped into the nature of Christ. Being persistent in prayer is important because that is one way that God trains us, renews our mind and matures us. Prayer is not about getting something from God, but it is about being changed by God so that we have the right ask and so we are refined and united with Him.

Welcome to Episode #128 of Way of the Bible podcast. This is our last of eight episodes in our sixteenth mini-series, The Obedience of Faith.  On this episode we're going to take A Walk on the Beach with DrZ and explore together The Obedience of Faith. This is only the beginning, Lord willing, of a journey that lasts generations of lifetimes…So glad you could join me for our walk on the beach this afternoon. It is crystal clear outside. The cold front that blow in last night dropped the temps into the upper thirties early this morning. After my early morning rise and quiet time it was a brisk and chilly walk to the water and immediately retreating back inside for my second cup of coffee. But I'm pleased to say it's up to 58 now. Pleasantly chilly with a high afternoon warming sun for our walk.  We've got a couple of decanters of mint, milk, and dark hot chocolates and fresh ground medium roast coffee's on the bar. Fill up you own decanter or take one of our souvenir Walk on the Beach insulated cups. Long story but Joe made these hot/cold cups available for our walks at his own expense. His hope is that when we drink out of these in the future we'd be reminded to be always following Jesus and walking with God.   Let's take another ten minutes to mingle and greet our last few arrivals and meet on the back deck at 2:00 pm.Great to see such a big crowd on a weekday for our afternoon walk. We'll head to the water and go to the right with the sun and the breeze in our face. Given we may get a chill in the next little while, I've got a little surprise for us at our turnaround spot that I think you will all enjoy. So let's get to it.I went back over the episode show notes for this mini-series to refresh myself as I'd thought we'd covered a lot of scripture. My refreshment revealed in-fact we had covered a lot. Some of which I'll share again on our walk this afternoon. The main point of them being they all indicate our response as a believer in Christ is much broader than what most, including myself, have encountered in our walks of faith.

On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi react to Liverpool's routine win over Union Saint Gilloise in the Europa League group stage. As ever, performances are assessed and key moments discussed with some specific discussion on: the renaissance of Joe Gomez, the promise of Ryan Gravenberch, the classy calm of Jarrell Quansah, the odd choice of not starting Curtis Jones and the happy knack Diogo Jota has for playing badly and scoring regardless.Prefer to listen to our shows without the ads?
