15 minutes of Cougar fame
Cubby and I filmed our pilot for our television series. It was an amazing process. We are both well spent after it all. The film crew was very professional and skilled. Their patience was commendable. I never knew how much time and effort gets into one little scene, or how questions and comments get turned into stories and shows. There is so much I have experienced in life and so much I have yet to know. This wild and crazy adventure with my cubby has been one of the most amazing times in my life. Who would have thought…if you has asked me 10 years ago what I thought I would be doing now…lol….the answer would have been some safe and sound probability. No risk, no adventure, just tried and true wagers. Most certainly not the Mistress of our illustrious Cougars Den.
We learned about our strengths as a couple today, much about our relationship fears, and so much about our family and how little they know about us. While not much has changed in our life, at least for today, so much will never be the same. The support we were shown, the support we showed each other and the support we gained for the cougar community was uplifting. While we cant change the negative connotation that the word “cougar” commands, we can embrace it. We can accept that people will always have an opinion, they will always have a judgement, and they will always have company in whichever position they stand.
In the end, my life is my own, mine to live as I choose. Cubby will live as he chooses. We aren’t asking for approval, we arent asking for permission, or validation. Instead, we ask for peace, respect and freedom from those who would play their thoughts out loud.
