Phoenix
I have thought about this for several days and I was not going to post anything because I like to be neutral and positive about my life. Well, guess what? I am positive and I still stand my ground. Well, okay, maybe I limp a lot on a bad day. What can I say? I am an old military sergeant and martial arts' instructor, but I would probably throw a hip out now if I had to kick (or kiss) anyone's ass on this board. Just kidding! 
I think overposting is unhealthy and everyone needs a break for awhile. So . . . before I go out for a week or so, please allow me to say these things that are truly from my heart and meant for good spirits to come into everyone's lives:
There is so much friggin' drama here in Phoenix. Yes! Can you say "drama?" I thought the corporate world was harsh at times, but believe me when I say that this business is the worst, and I have done everything from being a radio disc jockey, real estate sales, to writing and editing for newspapers and magazines (very stressful). I also have been in the graphic arts business, serving in the military (nothing could be more degrading and humiliating than that at times), worked as a model (yuck), been an actress on stage and in film, plenty of sales work, picking grapes, daycare work, owning my own businesses (which I have three now), to scrubbing floors. I am proud of all of those jobs/careers, especially scrubbing floors. Yes! It taught me humility and patience for other people. I did this in a foreign country where I had to learn their language and take the dirty jobs. Reverse for what Mexicans go through here.
Anyway, for the past two years, I wanted to quit this business. Yes! That's right. I thought negatively about it, yet I still tried to convey to my clients/friends some kindness and affection. However, I gained renewed hope for civilization and for my part-time adventure in this market. It is what it is and my clients -- as of late -- have been caring, wonderful men.
If I forget someone, please forgive me. We all have our predjudices and our faults, but I truly believe that in each of us "reigns a superior human being" if we project positive thoughts and energy. Yet, babies are the only people on this planet who are completely innocent and deserving of that title.
To my friend, Wildwest Kelly: You are truly a good person and I'm envious of your tan (dang it, and I say that in the most respectful and humorous way, but you know me). You are one of the most respected providers in the community, along with Rose and her reputation. You are a caring person and you are truly a lot of fun. You also are similar to me in the fact that I do no not like gossip and bullshit!
To Jordan: You are sexy as hell, woman! You have a good heart and want to be friends with everyone, but it is okay to ocassionally let someone go away peacefully that does not respect your friendship or appreciate your talent. Remember, not everyone wants to be friends, especially if they are jeolous of you. Personally, I like my friends to feel good about themselves, and I always tell them if something looks good on them and brag to other people about them. Kisses, hon!
To Roxanne: I have not heard from you in awhile and I hope you are doing well in your new life. You were the spiritual friend and -- even though you found fault in yourself and tried not to in others -- you were so much more beautiful than you gave yourself credit for and I miss you.
To AZ Misty: I have never met you but I think you seem pretty cool. You stand up for what is right and I admire that about you. I also like bj's too, so perhaps we will have to do doubles sometime. I know -- naughty girl.
To Victoria: You are the nurturer. Many women do not get you and do not like to be mothered, but I think I understand you. You mean well and at least you admit when you are wrong. Be easy on others and they will smile back at your beautiful face and respect you.
To Sweet Sarah: You are exactly what this post is about: "Kill them with kindness." How can people dislike someone who is nice. Stay sweet.
To Terri: You are like my Italian cousins. You would be a blast at a party, and I like your strength and convictions. Plus, you are feisty. Just listen to your own good judgment and be objective with yourself, and you will eventually be the queen of the planet. I guarantee it!
To Mya: I do not know you, but you look absolutely gorgeous. You are the hostess of the big party, but take heed of the community. Whatever anyone says on the board is taken literally, even if we mean well or have had a bad day. If you concentrate on good karma it will come back to you tenfolds, and you will be so deserving of it. Keep smiling with that beautiful smile.
To Tina Pink: What can I say? You have always been professional with me, always given me a reference and always stood your ground without being too hostile. I love your balls, baby!
To Aria: You were right to stand your ground. And, even though I like the guy in question, you have every right not to see someone if you do not feel comfortable. It has nothing to do with someone giving you a reference that you should rely on or cannot trust. Sometimes gut feelings are good to go with, and maybe you will see this gentleman in the future. Guys: Do not take it personally. We try not to when you do not pick us. You may have hurt feelings, but we are escorts and you are hobbyists (no offense). We like you but get over it and we will like you even more. Okay, well some of you guys are friends but let's not get too mushy. Aria: You're extremely beautiful and creative. Great website, too!
To Anabangbang: You are hilarious! If I were a total lezbian (which I am not), I would probably marry you, but we would have to have separate bedrooms.
To Swedish Anna: What can I say? You are truly the ultimate in classiness and playfullness. I cannot wait to get together with you when you get back into town. You and I truly have another life outside this business. That is something you can call your own. Go forth with it and be blessed!
To Carlee: I have never met you, but I feel like we might be Siamese twins. Do not ask me why, but I get this feeling (a good feeling) about you. If you are a friend of Jordan you must be great!
To Dallas4u1969: You always seem like you are having a good time, and you are quickly becoming one of my favorite posters. Thanks for your sunny disposition. I love it!
To Sterling St. John: You do not post much lately, but I take it from your last comment, you are probably sitting there with a nice glass of wine in your hand and thinking to yourself, "Wow! Are these bitches nuts or what?" Just kidding. You are truly one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen. I think you deserve a grand life with your babes and a nice man.
To: Anyone else whom I have left out of the loop. I have tried to focus on the majority of the providers who frequently post on TER. Be good to your sisters. If you are good to your sisters and "kill them with kindness," then they will have nothing but good things to say about you. If they backchannel about you and say something negative, then their karma will get them in the end. You cannot please everyone, so do not try to be something you cannot become: a friend to someone who does not care for you. I used to feel like -- what my friends would call -- the resident psychiatrist. I soon realized there are some people who will never be satisfied or happy with themselves, and they want other ladies to wallow in their self-pity, because -- after all -- "misery loves company."
To the men on the Phoenix board: Thank you for being polite and keeping your sense of humor. It is so refreshing to see some of these men actually telling us good things and to "chill out" in a nice way.
Everyone have a great weekend!
Peace, hugs & kisses to all,
Ciara

You know Ciara, we need to go on vacation and not think about anything at all...just do. Maybe some umbrella drinks, look at the cuties at the beach, get a nice tan, be up late, sleep late...lol. Things like that will do wonders, I've heard.
Just kidding, sort of but, my point is that sometimes we do take our 'job' a little too serious (like many of us do who have 'real' jobs as well) and we just need to relax more and like we have talked about before. A life outside this business is really important and many times is what keeps us going and keep us having a positive outlook on what we do and what we provide. At least for me, that makes my 'job' so much more fun at the end of the day.
Let's have those drinks we talked about a make a toast to thinking positively, great vacations and great gentlemen
Thanks for those kind words about me as well...You are truly special. Really.
Many Pussar och kramar,
Swedish Anna

You are very special and I hope to meet you someday, lunch dinner, drink
You brighten up the community and I thank you for that.
lots of love to you
Terri
you are!!!!!!!!
