I beg indulgence from those of you planning to arrive round 10am. Moreeda will keep you entertained while I finish off a TV shoot, inside my rooms. The TV show "The Power Within" have graced me with a request for an interview on my book, Ageing and Sexuality. So do not be surprised to see TV crew arrivign and leaving - once done we will have privacy I have promised. If tomorrow works I have plans for more of this concept so come along and teach me what I can best offer you to enhance your lives and sexual health.
Today I learned about men who prey on women, women with known money. I wonder why this reversal of roles disturbed me so much, after all women have always done this. Yet with the reverse it feels more predatory. Men who seek out women with money , woo them and then are found out to be con artists of megga proportions - real painful for the women involved. Its the same kind of conundrum that I hear from men with money: does she want me for me or my money.. Its like, well, both actually- especially if you are the creator of your wealth. That shows great skill, expertise, smartness, ambition - attractive qualities in men. Of course the same qualities apply to women who make their own wealth yet they are not usually qualities men seek out in female partners. I guess this is why these predatory men are an anomaly -- they seek these qualities in women -- why are they not going for the breasts, wide hips, and youthful appearance? its against the laws of evolution 
Perhaps I am a little more sensitized to this issue today as I got a call from a charity organisation asking me for a donation. The man left me a message stating that a "woman of my calibre" should easily be able to afford a donation with ease, without it denting my bank account. If I felt this angered by his assumption of my bank account can you imagine how Ms Semenya feels about the assumptions about her gender???
I am surrounded by boxes as I prepare for my move this week. Traumatic, exciting, and traumatic, moving is the number one life stressor after the death of a child. I am resonating with this trauma. I love my house, written 3 books in this house, yet it felt right to move on - new neighbourhood, new kind of space. I am adapting to ageing, following my own advice as my needs have changed. I no longer need nor desire the encumbrances of a garden, swimming pool, large empty rooms. I require elegance, ease and the sea. And so it shall be...
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow
