A Phoenix Rising

As 2024 comes to a close, I find myself breathing a deep sigh of relief. This year has been, without a doubt, the most challenging of my life. Yet, within its trials, there have been moments of profound growth and joy that I will carry forward with me.

The year began on a high note. I stayed quiet online, not out of hesitation, but because I was busy building something incredible—launching The Nest, my personal sanctuary and creative playground. I still remember the excitement of welcoming Tigz to photograph it, and wondering what she would make of the sapce! I also had the privilege of working with the incomparable Jamie Mahon and Pixie Sin on a breathtaking photoshoot. Later, Pixxie and I teamed up for a luxurious double session that left a certain very lucky sub floating on air.

Having my own space has been transformative. The Nest isn’t just a place; it’s a reflection of my soul, a canvas for my creativity, and an amplifier of my artistry. To inhabit a space I’ve built with intention, to have every detail designed to enhance my play and practice, has been beyond compare.

But life has a way of throwing curveballs, and this year was no exception. In March, my partner of 14 years left me, and shortly after, they suffered a life-altering accident. What followed was a storm of grief, compounded by their abhorrent behavior in the aftermath. Through it all, The Nest and The Siren became my sanctuary, my anchor in turbulent seas. They reminded me of my strength and the power of reclaiming my narrative.

While some of my plans for The Nest and Myself had to be shelved to navigate these personal storms and challenges with housing situations, I’ve still managed to achieve meaningful milestones. I deepened my shibari practice and even hosted my first kink event at The Nest—a memory I’ll cherish. Through this, I connected with the entrancing Burgundy Rose, planting seeds of collaboration that I’m eager to nurture in 2025.

This year has forced me to confront hard questions about who I want to be—both personally and professionally. I’ve never felt more confident as a kink practitioner, and I’m determined to bring that same energy to my online presence. There are new kinks I’m excited to explore, and others I may let go of. This process of refinement feels liberating, like shedding old skin to reveal something stronger and more vibrant beneath.

But above all, I am done with grief. I am done with holding myself back. There is still some burning left before this phoenix fully emerges, but one thing is certain: She will rise.

Here’s to 2025—the year of transformation, resilience, and unapologetic power.
