Thank You, AFORCETBRKNWTH, for allowing me to repost this from Your profile.

 Questions to ask yourself; your challenge as a slave/sub is to ask yourself a few honest questions:

• What do you think (or believe) a slave/sub is?
• What does A Master mean to you?
• What am I (meaning you) trying to get out of this lifestyle?
• How do I know this is right for me?

Consider your thoughts on this as well:

• Are you molding the lifestyle to your expectations, instead of you being molded into the lifestyle?
• Do you honestly and sincerely embrace and relish the unlimited? Or does it scare you?
• Is your mind made of concrete and incapable of being changed?

 There is no right or wrong answers here, this is your life we are talking about, and it is essential you answer them, for your sake.

there is within each submissive, a heart to serve, a desire to give their everything to their One. What does it mean to find their One? it means he/she has found the true 'home' of their heart, where the desire to serve is so pure and real it is a thing of beauty. he/she becomes a perfect compliment to Him/Her, an extension of Him/Her. their very hearts desire is to bring Him/H happiness, by actions, words and deeds. he/she longs to see His/Her pride in owning him/her reflected in His/Her eyes. the ultimate culmination of this, is when he/she can look into His/Her eyes, think of all He/She is to him/her, all He/She has done to him/her, and all He/She will do to him/her, then all that he/she can do is bow their head, slip gracefully to their knees, open themselves up to Him/Her and place their heart, life and devotion in His/Her hands, then looking into His/Her eyes let go of any and all control he/she has ever held in their life and submit to His/Her will, give Him/Her their everything, for it is no longer his/hers to hold, it is His/Hers to own.  

Something that i find very important to me, because i've had my trust violated seriously in the past. Trust is very important in any relationship, but most especially within the relationship of a Dom/sub or Master/slave. Respect should be mutual as well. Without trust and respect, no relationship (Lifestyle or vanilla) will last. Communication is one of the key elements as well. It is better to communicate, than to think that Y/your partner 'knows' what is going on inside of Y/you.

 I am a sensual woman, I believe sensuality is a part of every aspect of our lives, not just in the bedroom. Sensuality is being fully engaged with all of your senses to live in the moment you are in. Life is about all those little moments that build into ultimate moments, and when experienced with your senses wide open, the experience is so much richer and deeper.

i am off for the night..i hope that everyone has a fabulously spankingly wonderful weekend...

....offline for surgery, hope everyone has a great week....

BDSM Beattitudes -- Blessed are they
(Author Unknown)

Blessed are the Dominants,
whose willingness to exercise
responsibility for a submissive
is the foundation of our Lifestyle.

Blessed is the submissive,
whose only true joy and
desire is to serve.

Blessed are the Tops
whose careful and knowledgeable
application of pain can make us fly beyond ourselves
and reach peaceful heights of self-awareness.

Blessed are the bottoms
who cheerfully and trustingly
yield their bodies and becomes
the Instrument for a Top's virtuosity.

Blessed are the Masters and Mistresses
who realize the
great gift they have been given
and dedicate themselves to utilizing
that gift with love and care.

Blessed are the slaves
who find that One special
person they can trust wholly and completely
without fear so they may yield their hearts, minds, bodies,
and souls without reservation.

Blessed are the Teachers and speakers,
who impart
precious knowledge to us all.

Blessed are the newbies,
may they know only joy in
this Lifestyle.

Blessed are those whose trust has been broken,
may they find those who will help them heal,
and may they once again build up the courage
to extend trust once more.

Blessed is the Collar,
the external symbol that binds
two hearts and minds together.

Blessed are we all,
for we are all bound together by
the ties of our Lifestyle,
which will forever separate us from the world at large.

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it."

— Harvey MacKay

Submission is a gift freely given...a Dom can demand it but its not true submission...and yet if a sub/slave submits freely of their will... it is the greatest gift a Dom/Master can ever receive 

beyond submission there is the love of their sub/slave...if that is what the Dom/Master desires...for that love is born of trust and devotion...learned over time, by the sub/slave 

to know that your Dom/Master...has your best interests at heart...to know He is in control...He is your Teacher, your Protector...your Lover, and your Friend...creates within the sub/slave...a place in their heart which is devoted wholely to Him 

you see there is nothing...that a sub/slave would not do...for their Dom/Master once this level is reached...whatever He desires, she will give freely...for she knows He will never endanger her...He will always watch over her...and she will give herself fully into his care. 

that level of trust once given...it grows stronger, becomes less fragile...it is a two way street,  from the Dom/Master to the sub/slave and back again...it will last as long as they treasure what they have...as long as they nourish it and help it to grow 

There is a completeness in this a cycle begun and now complete, ever growing, expanding,  treasured and protected 

this comes from trust and the gift of true submission.
