From Lou -
I have been identifying as Leather Chaplain for a few years now but before then I was already sharing my thoughts on views on Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), Kink, Sexy Things, Ministry, and Spirituality. You can find assorted writings.
Wondering who Amy Shiner was? Amy Shiner was my pen name early on. Amy because I liked the name and used it for "roleplaying" chats online and Shiner because I love Shiney.
Written in 2011 to 2013 I was one of the first sex-positive writers on the Huffington Post in the now shuttered contributor platform.
Written in 2012 to 2014 this was during a time period where I was exploring Buddhism. Spoiler - it didn't work out well. These writings are range from: Can practices of submission, discipline, sexuality, meditation, and spiritual community become paths toward greater presence, compassion, self-knowledge, and liberation rather than things that have to be separated from spirituality?
