Just so every one knows, we are far more than a farm.

Although we like the work and the farm life, we have extremely diverse interests. Education, for one is important to us. We are both college graduates, with my wife, Dr. Leslie Machado a high school resource teacher as well as a professor at a local University.

We are interested in health and nutrition. Part of that is reflected in our farm products. We like to work out. What a rush!

We read a lot, study and debate past lives, art, pottery, collect ewers, save our own seed, use charged crystals,  do our own construction work, listen to Tom Waits faithfully, do public speaking- we like a busy life.

And then there’s sex. A great subject to talk about. A big subject. We connect it with Women and Power, and pay close attention. I am currently doing some grad work in the area of Human Sexuality, and am constantly running after my wife, saying, ” Honey, I need to do some research”.  Ahem. Hmmm.

So today’s link is related to this subject. It is the website She Makes the Rules. Run by women, for couples who believe that women should be in charge. These are women-run marraiges, and women-run relationships.

This is important to understand, because just because we have the standard dominant man-submissive woman traditional setup, doesn’t mean it works for everyone. We like the idea of women having power, and we don’t mean John McCain’s absurd posturing with his new VP pick as “giving women power”. He must think we are all stupid, especially women voters.

No, when we say “giving women power”, we mean she makes the rules. She makes the decisions. She is the decider. She is the director. Men answer to her, and she runs the place, for everyone involved. We  like it and want more of it.  Look for the link on the right under “Women and Power”. It’s a good place to check your tolerance and belief system.
