Lori Michele
HI
It's been some time since my last post and even longer since I've practiced the female art. I logged on this morning for the first time in a few months and I was shocked to see I had 30 plus flickr mails asking how I am and what's happened to me so I feel I owe an update.
In the last two years I've almost completely lost interest in being Lori. As I've mentioned in the past, I've used dressing as a getaway and stress reliever. Somewhere along the last couple of years and probably largely due to the awareness that worry and stress are non productive entities, I've developed a don't give a shit approach and let me tell you, I feel as free as I've ever felt.
Another thing that happened was the incident where I was run over by an old lady in the grocery store parking lot. That had a residual effect and I'm still dealing with some chronic pain. As a result I was sedentary for the better part of a year and I promptly gained 45 pounds and got fat. Fortunately in the last 6 months I've returned to daily exercise and have removed the weight. Yay
Additionally, the 46 acre Horse farm that I love and have made my home for the last 15 years has become more than I'm willing or able to maintain by myself so we have put it on the market and will sell to anyone willing to pay the full asking price. Although I'm heartsick at the thought of not having it any longer, I feel it's the right move for me and my wife. I've always felt unsafe for her when I travel which is most weeks. The thought of having neighbors within earshot is comforting on the one hand and bugs the crap out of me on the other.
Lastly, Lori hasn't been seen nor heard from in 18 months. I'm not so naive as to think the desire will never return so I haven't made the all too expensive purge and her things are stored safely in two large containers in a locked closet safely away from curious children. I plan to keep this page up and will likely post more photographic based materials and less portraiture and if Lori comes back out of hiding I'll show her off too.
In the meantime take care and be good to one another.
