Puzzle Pieces

Hey, everyone!

This has been a long time coming.  I need to carve out a safe space where I can process relationship issues.

I have been extremely open about my journey as a mixed chick, finding my birth father and constructing a community I truly feel invested in and a part of.  This is what The Diversity Project is about.  I recently started musing about dating and sex – intimate things, and I need a place to reflect that isn’t open to the world at large.

To be blunt, The Ex doesn’t need to be reading this stuff.  Some mutual acquaintances read TDP and I don’t fully trust that it won’t get back to her. I haven’t seen or talked to her since the rather ugly breakup and am not ready for interaction (if ever).

The password protected posts will be more personal and intimate. I am not ready to be this vulnerable with everyone without having some control over who has access. So, leave a comment in this thread if you want access. Be sure to leave a valid email address and a link to your blog, your myspace, your facebook, or some other way to verify that you are a real person.

Thanks to Sugarbutch for lending me the language!

So, I hope that you will bear with me. This is going to be a learning experience for me. I have put a lot of thought into this and have had several in-depth conversations with other bloggers I respect – thanks Sinclair @ Sugarbutch, Twanna @ Funky Brown Chick and several other blogging riends who choose to maintain somewhat private blogs. Your insight and guidance is invaluable.

In peace,

Kathrin
