Visual how you make decisions. What is your model? If you had to explain it to someone could you? Until a few days ago, I couldn’t.
Turns out that a friend makes decisions like in a strict flow chart; yes and no. If there is maybe; the responses are yes or (go or no go). It was interesting to talk with them and find out the essentially this is how decisions are made at work also. We are surrounded by things and ways we find comfortable. Read the rest of this entry »
There are many activities that are useful in developing and deepening a FemDom relationship. A FemDom relationship is something different from a female-led-relationship; it includes aspects of BDSM. It can be domestic discipline (typically spanking) or the full gamut of BDSM play activities). My relationship with My boy is about service, play, and our relationship; the relationship with sled is different as he resides in My house and sleeps with Me. Each is both female-led and FemDom; but it is possible to have a female-led-relationship without any other “nonvanilla” facets to the relationship. Read the rest of this entry »
There is lots of discussion, emotion and crap surrounding contracts in relationships. There is a long history of having pre-nuptial agreements, more recently post-nuptial agreements, and in WIITWD contracts. I have always been opposed to having contracts as I don’t want My relationships defined by a piece of paper and I don’t find contracts organic. Read the rest of this entry »
When I was at my sister’s house last month, she made this. I am usually NOT a fan of split pea soup; but, this one was GREAT. Read the rest of this entry »
So, last week on Twitter Strapped In Silk accused Me of being Dr.Phil! How interesting.
Well, in case you are wondering . . . I am NOT.
Let’s focus on Female Lead Relationships (FLR) this week. I find it so interesting that this is a topic; as if it was so unique. In most relationships someone leads; but that it is a woman is SO noteworthy that gender is part of the descriptor. We don’t say Male Led Relationship; because it is ASSUMED. I think FLR is a term that will have a limited shelf-life. As it becomes more the norm overtime; FLR will seem dated. Read the rest of this entry »
Decision making is one of the underlying principles that give insight on how someone thinks. I am beginning to understand it also gives insight to how a couple thinks, works, and thrives.
Decision and the process to get there illuminate who and what you value, what strategies you think are effective, and the themes that are presently important to you. Read the rest of this entry »
Last week I wrote about allowing prosperity into your life. Basically, it was about allowing people to help and be a part of your life. I got to see this in action AGAIN this week. This time it was Me that accepted assistance.
As you know . . . Sport died recently. I am still kinda in shock and recovering from that, going to my sister’s house, and generally having way toooooo much to do. Right after returning from my sisters, I had a nice afternoon planned with The Coterie (blog next week) . . . which turned into 12 hours of FUN. In the middle of which, I got a call from a friend.
She is a realtor and had found 2 3-week old kittens in a model home. She said they looked just like Sport and would I help her out with them. I said I would be over the next day to take a look; I simply was ready to say YES! Wow, not ready at all. I knew the answer would be “yes” . . . but needed a little time to process.
I went on Saturday morning and OF COURSE they now live with sled and I! My friend offered to take care of the vet expenses . . . and thinking of My post last week . . . I said “yes, that would be appreciated”. It was such a different feeling; normally I am the one “giving”. Allowing Myself to receive was truly unique.
As for the kittens . . . THEY are running the household for now with feedings every 4 hours, bleating (otherwise known as mewling), and a trip to the vet for Fetish. She was doing a little EXTREME nipple play on the feeding bottles and ended up SWALLOWING the nipple. The smaller one (a male) is still unnamed; taking all suggestions (just leave a comment)!
This series is inspired by a personal development magazine; click here for the beginning of the series.
There is an article in this issue of Personal Development about finding prosperity by allowing people to do things for you. This article was focused on money; but, I am focusing on having a richer life. I was thinking about this concept during my travels to see my sister and her family.
While there, my sister asked her boys what happened that day that they were grateful for. The more interesting answers were from my sister and me. I was grateful to be there and to be of “service” to my sister and her family. They needed a break and accepted my offer to help for a few days.
My sister’s answer was amazing. That day she was driving the boys home from school and near the food pantry (not a store) there was a gentleman riding his bike with boxes of food . . . careening because he was trying to carry too many things. She offered assistance to him and he allowed her to help . . . she took the food in her car and drove it to his home. Again, she was grateful to have been of service.
While my sister is not a Domme, she is clearly in a female lead relationship; even though she would deny it . . . the lesson; being of service brings meaning to life; even if you have slaves.
Friday series on personal development starts here.
I’m just not up to a personal development blog this week: see post.
One of the greatest loves of My life died on Friday. Sport, you will be missed.
