All the Shades of Me

Lisamaria stands in a hotel lobby and she is wearing a velvet, green, evening dress. Her cane stands against her right shoulder. 
Always nice to dress fancy for a night out on the town. Just supporting one of my favorite nonprofits promoting braille literacy.

About me

Some say I am complicated, but I say I’m just versatile.

There are many different aspects of my personality. I invite you to explore them all – from mother, to crafter, to dancer, and to writer.

Expertise

Motherhood

Over a decade of parenting, and three children later, I feel like I can dispense a few words of wisdom when it comes to parenting. I like to parent practically. I also need to remind myself often that I need to fill my bucket first before I can be of service to others. Check out my parenting blog posts written by @bayareablindmom — btw, that’s me! 🫶🏽

Crafting

I don’t consider myself particularly crafty, but I do know a craft or two. You can learn how to crochet or fold origami models completely nonvisually — with no pretty diagrams whatsoever. I have taught many human beings how to fold paper into intricate shapes, and I have taught many yarn lovers how to crochet or loom knit.

From Crochet, to loom knitting, to origami, and to lotion making, I do my crafts with alternative techniques so that I can accomplish them independently and successfully as a blind human being. And if I do say so myself, I make some damn good smelling lotions!

The Edgier Me

Erotic Writing (must be 18 years old plus)

This section is not for everyone and may contain content that can be triggering. I ask that you be truthful about your age and that you only click through if you are over the age of 18. It is important when clicking through, that you understand, there will be mature content including sex, kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, and other edge of culture topics.

These are my writings. The poetry and short stories found here have come from my heart and soul. Please do not share without permission.

I’ve found my wheelhouse in erotica and erotic poetry.

I hope to publish someday soon.

Pole Dancing Adventures

In the summer of 2018, I began my journey with pole dancing. I loved every minute I spent in the pole studio. I craved to learn more, and spend more time on the pole. I enlisted private instructors to help me understand some of the very basic pole moves so I felt more empowered to take classes on my own.

I always need a goal to work toward. So, I decided to enter into the Golden Gate Pole competition in February of 2019. I walked away with a first place for L1 dancers.

It’s been a long, long break since my last pole class, but I’m coming back and ready to climb. Please join me in my journey.
