The SCENESubmissions 2004 Archives

 

 

 

 

 

 

This newsletter was originally only for Rose & Thorn members, the group that I founded in Vermont. It's a great history of the early years and includes some great material! After I gave notice as leader in 2001, I renamed it SceneSubmissions and gave it a broader scope of BDSM & Spirituality as by that time we had many readers in other states. In August of 2004 I ended the formal Newsletter for a while as I went on sabbatical.

Dear Readers,

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm going on sabbatical, so there will be a change in format in this newsletter. I am ending the summer series with this love letter to Griffin, which feels as sad and bittersweet as I do. There are some columns after this one where I shared some of my grief over losing him, but I thought that wouldn't be a very hopeful a way to end the summer so I didn't publish them. If you'd like to read them they are in the Art of BDSM Columns section on my website.

Starting next Sunday I'll be running an abbreviated version of this newsletter which will include just one of my own columns or newsletters every week. This will allow me to take a break without worrying about collecting new material.

My website will continue to be up and active as always. If you didn't know, there are over 500 pages there of my own writing, interviews, articles, art and photography from a variety of talented people in the scene. I hope you will visit and check some of it out at www.sensuoussadie.com

PS if you'd like to read about why I'm taking a sabbatical, you can read about it here:

Warm regards,

~ Sadie
