I’ll Give You Mine, If You Give Me Yours
Darlings,
It’s Thanksgiving.
I will show you mine, if you show me yours.
I will give you my top gratitudes, but you gotta give it right back to me–and reply to this blog.
We got a deal?
Good.
This is what I am grateful for:
1. My kid. My mom. And my crazy-amazing team at the Pleasure Palace.
2. Having just come back from the best Miami Worldwide Sister Goddess Reunion of my life, where I got to read brags like this:
Gratitude Designs by Tara Dixon
I brag that I came to Miami only knowing one SG there (and SG Storm Lauren via phone/email) and left being introduced to more SGs than I have fingers and toes to count!! I wish I could remember everyone’s name, because I would give you ALL a “shout out” here for making this virgin feel welcome.
I brag that Saturday during the Unbound Olympics, I did things I would never have dared before:
> first time food experiences - calamari (at Nexxt) and sushi (at Blue Sky in the Delano). Much better than I ever expected!
> danced on “the wall” at the Pink Party! (I would have been standing in the corner before, hoping no one noticed me…)
In line with the Pink Party brag, I brag that there were several loving SGs who helped me at just the right time to get up on “the wall.” When I dared to climb, two SG hands reached out for me – one from above and one from behind. After a few minutes, the SG I was dancing next to saw me look down, planning my escape. She touched my arm and said “Not yet!” About 20 minutes later, we left the wall – together. Such an exhilarating feeling to break through that bond!
I brag that after the Pink Party was over, I stayed on the dance floor!
I brag that SG Camille helped me with my screen name for Sistergoddess.com. She called me “Denver” all weekend – and we modified that to “Denver Hottie”!
I brag that I signed up for Virtual Pleasure Boot Camp 2012 - and shared the desire with my SG friend that we participate in Boot Camp together!
I brag that my handsome husband gave me a sensual massage with aromatherapy oils when I arrived home last night.
I am grateful to find this community of incredible, beautiful, creative women. I have been desiring this kind of community for a very, very long time (without knowing it was a desire) and feel so blessed to know that you are here…and not going anywhere!
I want to share my favorite frame, too. At the Pink Party, the dance floor is filled with SGs. The music plays, a tribal beat for the beautiful tribe of women gathered in Miami. The beat becomes a heartbeat, the heart that beats within each of us and connects us together through love and sisterhood. Truly a sacred experience!
xoxo,
SG Denver Hottie

3. And the amazing privilege of doing my first-ever class in Copenhagen, where I got to ride the waves of this delicious reverb:
I brag that I’ve practiced pleasure for no reason since the FANTASTIC Mama Gena event in Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago and I FEEL SO Fxxxxxx GOOD even in challenging circumstances. Woooo Hooo!!!!
Instead of running around and focusing on satisfying everyone else’s needs, I’ve prioritized my own needs! Yes, my own needs BEFORE my children’s and my husband’s needs. For instance I went to get a massage on “Holy Family Sunday Time” (!) and when I came home they were all playing and having a great time, and I was just SO relaxed and became part of their joy immediately (before I usually had a guilty conscience if I did something for myself in “family time” and therefore felt “wrong” and outside of the “community” for a while, after having returned, but OH NO, not any more. NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!) Now I don’t hesitate if I need to refresh during family time… I just inform my husband that I need some time alone and I go to bed, close my eyes and listen to my favorite guided meditation, and I just feel SO RELAXED AND HAPPY…and all turned on …wraaurrhhhhh…
And they are all so happy and much more relaxed than ever before, both my children and my husband. My children’s reaction is very interesting: They just want to kiss me and hug me and are all around me ALL THE TIME in such a nice way… And my husband… mmmmmmmmmmmmm…so good! We are having SUCH a great time. And my pussy purrs as never before…
I am so happy and feel so FREE! Thank you so much, Mama Gena, for directing me back to my pleasure as MY FIRST PRIORITY! I have broken free from the invisible cage of my mind! I can now step out as THE GODDESS OF FREEDOM I was born to be! Pleasure for no reason = Freedom!

4. And next week…I get to go to San Francisco, to speak at TedxFiDiWomen. And the week after, off to LA, where I will attend a party featuring the work of Sister Goddess Tara, who was so inspired by her experience in Mastery and Inner Circle, that she created a series of gratitude paintings, leading to the creation of Gratitude Designs, which are being launched with a holiday party at Fred Segal. The party will benefit Sister Goddess Janine’s Flawless Foundation, which advocates for, and improves the quality of care for children living with mental health and neurodevelopmental challenges. Janine has often shared that without the tools she learned at the School of Womanly Arts, she never would have started Flawless. She even has Sister Goddesses serving on her board of directors. Can you see how the connective tissue of radiance, sister to sister, is spreading like the most delicious aroma, wafting from one corner of the world to the other? The event takes place on December 8th, and I would love for you to join us. My pal Sheila Kelley will be joining me on the host committee. Please RSVP to rsvp@flawlessfoundation.org.
5. And finally, I am grateful for you. For your sisterhood, for your stand, for your pleasure, for your defiant beauty. I know, deep inside, that in a thousand ways, every day, it is your hand that keeps a dozen fires lit, your radiance that inspires multitudes, and your smile that lights up every corner of the world you inhabit.
This makes me crazy with the goodness of it all.
And fires up the urgency inside my soul.
If we have accomplished this much courage to live unbound, this much intimacy between ourselves and our men, this much delicious relaxed happiness between mothers and children, this much sensuality, this much Sister Goddess Activism, this much Sisterhood, then I cannot wait to see what the next year will bring.
Happy Happy Happy Thanksgiving.
Give me your gratitudes, right here.
I can’t wait to feel your radiance and be inspired.
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
I am grateful for you Mama Gena, the tools, the SWA, everyone I have met in all of my Mastery classes and Inner Circle, the sisterhood, Miami, Anne Davin, Ru, your staff, and…………
this incredible blog of gratitude that brings tears to my eyes
Happy Happy Thanksgiving !!
Hmmm…. So much to be grateful FOR!!! I am grateful first & foremost for my luscious, divine SELF & for Mama for backing me up on the hunch that I am fabulous! I am thankful for my fabulous boys, my beautiful doggies & the phenomenal place I live called Santa Fe, New Mexico! I’m also grateful for the opportunities I am given every day to experience the world as the magical place it is!

I am grateful for Mama Gena and that she has shared with all of us her knowledge/experience in the world of pleasure and what we can do to get ours. It has literally opened up a whole new world for me.
I am grateful for her daily fluffs. They remind me to keep focused on my pleasure on a DAILY basis, which is great because I tend to be a bit neglectful of myself at times.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband S.T.M. , my funny, smart, happy daughter, and my wise mom, and the fact we all get to live under one roof. I am also grateful for our warm and safe home and that S.T.M. has steady work coming in. The wind is howling outside, the leaves are all flying off the trees, and the temperature is dropping, but our cats are peacefully sleeping on the windowsill.
I am grateful that I am able to put on a rockin’ Thanksgiving feast for family and friends.
I am so very grateful for “Abs”. Because of him I have a stronger, leaner body and I feel so much better this year.
I am grateful that age,all of a sudden, doesn’t matter when you focus on your pleasure. I’ve had more attention from guys especially younger guys than I’ve ever had my whole life. So awesome! I’ve always got a smile on my face because of that.
I am grateful for the chance to go back to college. I love learning. It is an adventure for me to go to campus and learn something new.
Out of the blue a friend gifted me with a whole bunch of very nice, very expensive clothes, that fit me perfectly! I’ve never owned so many pants, dresses, tops, and suits in my entire life. I have no where to put them! I am very grateful for this gift which, by the way, came at the perfect time.
I am grateful for a chance to brag.
Have a fantastic Thanksgiving!

I am grateful for all of Mama Gena’s books and her brilliant website where we can all keep in touch with each other and and share our experiences and not feel weird as we explore being fully ourselves. I am grateful for finding me and being at peace with who I am and joyful about it. I am grateful for finally taking charge of my life and doing what makes me happy.

I’m grateful for the crazy “irresponsible” choice I made to go to Mastery in 2009 – it proved to be, of course, the most responsible thing I could have done.
I’m grateful for each and every pain-in-the-ass person that has been a thorn in my side – they’ve mirrored all the annoying and destructive characteristics in MYSELF that I’ve needed to transform or release ( who knew. . .)
I’m grateful for every wrenching, filthy, defiling, wallow in the stinky swamp . . .because it feels SO GOOD to clean up after being that dirty. . and I’m a brand new woman every time!
I’m grateful for every Spring Cleaning session I’ve had; they’ve helped me embrace and transform so many difficulties, reframe challenges, and find my gratitude.
I’m grateful for each and every one of my desires – they fill me with excitement and verve every morning, even when I’m otherwise not feeling verve-y!
YAY for dance breaks. In the car, on the way home from work. Amazing how much I can wiggle my butt in a car seat and still competently drive a vehicle!
I’m ever so grateful for my 8000 nerve endings -
I’m grateful for my friends, near and far, in touch and not so much right now, in perfect fun harmony, and in some instructive tension.. . .
I’m grateful for every Sister Goddess in this great community – may we continue to support, challenge and love each other for all time. . . .
Thank You Mama Gena for your School of Womanly Arts!!
Today I’m grateful for a morning boat ride with 6 fantastic men who all jumped to help me on and off the boat, the sun kissing my skin, the ocean air blowing through my hair, being told I look like I was made to be on a boat and the excitement of a new relationship.
I am grateful for my four children. They have dreams and strive to live them.
I am grateful for a chance to start over and 2012 is the beginning.
I am grateful for positive thinking.
I am grateful for my siblings who are scattered about but remain connected.
I am grateful for all the great authors who have come into my life through their words of wisdom.
I am grateful for being able to focus on what’s happening now instead of worrying about the future.
I am grateful for this blog. I look forward to its wonderful daily encouragement.
Thank you all.
Grateful for a world of blessings: Life, earth, people, spirit. Feel responsible to conserve, share, protect. and generate Joy. Thank you Mama Gena.
I am grateful to be a mom, a daughter, a sister, a friend, a lover, an artist, an entrepreneur AND a Sister Goddess!!!!!
I am grateful for you, Regena Thomashauer. I love how you so humbly say,”I just showed you the playground and encouraged you to go on all the rides.”
Working with you saved my life and opened the door that has always been there, to my joy and happiness.
I am grateful for all the tools and the arts. I am grateful for this incredible community of turned on and empowered, loving women.
I am grateful that by studying with you, gratitude was and is ingrained in me…that it was an automatic, go-to response and choice when processing the break up of my eighteen marriage. Out of this I painted 40 “gratitude” paintings and got the inspiration to reproduce them in a line of cards , journals and other products.
I am grateful for this INCREDIBLE shout out to Gratitude Designs By Tara Dixon and The Flawless Foundation.
I can’t wait for December 8th and the event at Fred Segal. Beyond the glitz and the glam it is my mother’s 75th birthday and she will be there that night.
The GPS works in mysterious ways and makes me smile.
much love-
Tara

I am so grateful that Mama Gena came to Copenhagen-so that I could fulfill my great longing and desire to meet her, hear her and get inspired by this fantastic women in person! I am also so grateful that my best friend joined me on this fabulous weekend trip and that she helps me to fan my desires and continue to reminds me to stay on the pleasure path! I am so grateful that I have such a great partner so that he was totally OK with me taking money for this Mama Gena event, booking plane tickets, hotels and the event despite that both of us is looking for jobs. I am so grateful for ME, relearning to prioritize myself, my needs and my pleasure instead of like previously always fixing everyone else´s needs first.
But what I am most proud for and grateful for is my three wonderful daughter´s, it is a true blessing being their mum with all their great personality and beauty from inside-out!
