Those of you who have met me know I’m an open book.  While I know how to conduct myself in a professional manner when the occasion calls for formal behavior, I am at most times the woman who is completely open, friendly and gracious to all people.  Yes, I respect those who do not see eye-to-eye with me.  I will even give them hugs!  ((()))

Years ago, I was involved in this demimonde under a different name.  I was younger, I was insecure (aren’t we all?  But especially in our twenties!), I had a solid reputation as an overnight/travel companion.  I also had a body that was considered “fit and sexy” by most, but was the result of my eating disorders.

During my time in the demimonde as the “other” name, I experienced a devastating, life-changing event that took its toll on me… I experienced major depression, my eating disorders went in the opposite direction, I went out “partying” every night just to numb myself from my emotions and found just getting out of bed to be difficult.

Did I look like sh?t?  Absolutely!  I look at pictures from those days and I looked sickly, puffy, worn out and OLD.

Did I gain weight?  Yes!  And I was too depressed to go out and buy a new wardrobe, resulting in me donning clothes that were a size too small and I looked like…well…just bad.

I took a temporary retirement from this little world until I felt healthier and went through a healing process.  I recreated myself as “Lynette Marie” and have had a wonderful time doing so.

Recently, however, the staff at a certain review site discovered that I used to go by another name before becoming “Lynette.”  They banned me from their site for a short while, but once I explained my history, I was reinstated as a member.

While they did not combine my previous “stage name” with my current one (Lynette Marie,) they did combine old reviews along with my new ones.

OUCH!!!!!!!

In reading the old reviews about me before I became Lynette, my heart broke and I felt nauseous.  It was apparent how I started out as a very youthful, apparently “fit” young lady (in spite of those eating disorders) and ended up as a tired, puffy, worn out woman.

Once again, OUCH!!!!

But the more I look back at those old reviews, the less painful the “OUCH!” is.

I look back at those days and I am thankful for how far I’ve come…

• I overcame depression

• I overcame my eating disorders

• I learned to accept myself as a flawed human being because WE ARE ALL FLAWED

• I returned to the world of fitness, running four-five half marathons a year along with numerous 10Ks

• I look younger, leaner, stronger and more vibrant (!!)

• Most importantly, I am now comfortable in my skin…in being REAL…and surrounding myself with other open-minded, kind hearted people

So it this too much to share as an escort?  Does anyone really care?

My belief is no, this is not too much to share.  I am a real human being with real hurts, heartbreaks and hangups.  Just like you.

And YES, people care…at least people like you who take the time to read my blog.

I welcome your comments and if you wish to vent your own hurts, please do share.

I thank The Erotic Review for allowing me to post on their site again (mainly sex workers rights issues) and to be a listed and ranked escort.  If you are not a member, I recommend checking them out and all that they have to offer to both companions and clients.

Feeling empowered by how far I’ve come,

Lynette Marie

Here comes the good stuff!

I have fought it for some time, but I hereby cry “uncle” to the powers of the mighty blog, Twitter, tumblr, ping…oh you know, all of those sites that allow us to keep up with each other’s lives without having to speak a word or be present.

So here I am to share my musings, photographs, rants and raves, and adventures in my life.  I hope to keep this blog interesting and fresh, and I’m very glad to have you here!  I welcome your comments, both publicly and privately.  Please play nice and I shall reciprocate. 

Now to get that Twitter account running.
