March 2008 Newsletter
First,
we wanted to let you know that because
of your support, we had a record breaking
month in February. On Valentine's Day,
we had a total of 4,102 visits from people
who accessed our website 208,858 times!
Thanks to all who sent Ecards from our
galleries on Valentine's Day, and thanks
to all who are spreading the word about
our website and our services. Here are
a few emails we received from some of
our new visitors last month:
"I
love the newsletter and the Ecards!"
"I chose your site because of
the variety of Ecards that you offer.
You do not limit your cards to only
the "pretty people" and that
is very appealing to me. Thank you for
thinking about us larger women; you
make us feel very sensual too."
"FINALLY a nonporn site that
is perfect for me and my true love.
A site that is so easy to navigate through
without the worry that I may end up
looking at things that I really don't
want to see. WAY TO GO!!! I am so glad
that I have finally found a site that
allows me to be a regular person with
regular feelings and not all about porn
and sex."
"I love your site! I found it
through a Yahoo search. Your site has
so much good info that I spend hours
on it , and refer my friends to it.
You also have the most wonderful Ecards--the
best on the net! Please keep up the
good work and thank you so much for
caring."
We have broken a record for our Support
For Lesbians Coming Out online group,
and we now have 755 members! This group
has members from all over the world including
women from New Zealand, England, Australia,
Ireland, Iran, and the Philippines! We
are providing a service for women worldwide,
and one of our members recently wrote
this note of appreciation:
"I
am so very grateful to have found this
site. Thank you for what you are doing
for so many people, and all the rest
of you that are linking arms and going
through this together, Your courage,
comfort and honesty with one another
is such a haven. By reading the messages
coming across my screen, well, suddenly
I don't feel so all alone with my thoughts,
and I'm certainly not unique in this.
Again, thanks!"

more quotes from members of our support
group.
We
just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU
to everyone who has supported this group,
including the folks at the Gayellow Pages
who cosponsor it.
Our new Regional Lesbian/Bi
Women Networking Groups
are also really doing great with nearly
600 members!
NEW
ARTICLES APPEARING ON
GAYWIRED MEDIA WEBSITES
FROM TRACEY AND KATHY!
 This
month, Kathy and I are working
like crazy. We have two new
installments of The Naked
Truth live online on the
GayWired Media Network websites.
The names of our articles are:
"Do You Come With an Instruction
Manual? Charting Our Basic Erogenous
Zones, 101," and "A
Hidden Life: Domestic Partner
Abuse in Lesbian Relationships."
You can see more about these
articles below.
I have
also been asked to start doing
interviews with lesbian women
for GayWired Media. I just completed
an interview with our resident
Astrologer and Ecard artist,
Flash Silvermoon.
Flash is also the producer of
the Wise Woman's Festival, which
is going to be on April 4-6
at The Florida Coalition for
Peace and Justice Camp in Hampton,
FL near Gainesville. Make sure
to see her website for more
information here: http://www.flashsilvermoon.com
The
interview is not out yet, but
LesbiaNation did a write-up
on the festival. Click here:
Wise
Woman's Festival
If you know of a woman who is
making a difference in our LGBT
community, with either herself
or her company, and she would
like worldwide exposure online,
please
Email
Tracey.
Gaywired Media owns 25 large
websites, and these interviews
will be published on many of
them. It's really nice exposure
for any one who needs it, and
they will provide links back
to your website in the articles.

Tracey
and Kathy's Online Column called The Naked
Truth, "Do You Come With an Instruction
Manual? Charting Our Basic Erogenous Zones,
101" is live online:
How my partner Kathy and I think about this
is that knowledge is power. If you learn
everything you can about a woman's body,
then you will have confidence in your abilities
to bring your partner pleasure. If you know
what a woman's sometimes subtle responses
mean, then you can communicate on a deeper
level and have a more satisfying sensual
relationship...

You Come With an Instruction Manual?"

Tracey
and Kathy's Online Column called The Naked
Truth, "A Hidden Life: Domestic Partner
Abuse in Lesbian Relationships" is
live online:
Kathy and I have a dear friend, whom I'll
call Sarah. Sarah was living in an abusive
situation with her lesbian partner, but
she did not see anything her partner was
doing as abuse. Like so many people, Sarah
thought abuse was only when someone beats
you up...

NEW
LESBIAN HOROSCOPES BY FLASH SILVERMOON
Hard
to think about March when we are all still
reeling from February! As they say, March
comes in like a lion and out like a lamb,
and the Lion will be roaring for sure with
some pretty volatile aspects from Mars opposing
Pluto from March 4th til the New Moon on
the 7th. Power plays could well be the name
of the game personally and globally so try
not to get pulled into a struggle with no
winner. Finally Mercury and Mars will be
out of retro at the same time. The good
news is forward motion, the bad news could
also be forward motion so that all the things
that have been virtually spinning their
wheels since Nov 15 can come out in full
force.
To
see your horoscope, visit Flash's
Lesbian
Astrology Page, or her Website
to find out more about her Tarot Cards,
Books, and Music CDs.
