"The Secret" - "thoughts become our action"
In whatever we think, we can create fun, experiences, abundance, brilliance, joy and simplicity, through powerful intention and deliberate focused action.
The possibilities are endless, the opportunities abundant.
And through the law of attraction, we will engage those who are of like mind, to share our journey.
Do we have the courage to step out?
I do!

September - Charting a Course

I love September: the fresh cool air, the brilliant colours of fall on the horizon, the contrasting beauty of Indian Summer.
September - my time for thinking on new beginnings. I welcome it by setting aside time to either validate the course I am on or to chart a new one!
I look inwardly to validate all that is good.
I look inwardly to see what it is about me that I may desire to change, those aspects of me not yet developed, those deep yearnings not yet brought to consciousness.
I look outwardly to cherish all that is good.
I look outwardly to identify that which may be impeding my personal growth, happiness and wellbeing.
I reflect on the past with a spirit of gratitude for all that I have experienced and I acknowledge the learnings it provided;
I pause to enjoy the present, for through my decisions and choices in the present moment, I influence my future;
and I look to the future with joy, enthusiasm and optimism, as I identify what I can do to shape it.
And from there I will chart my course, in awe of the possibilities.
Now is that time -- that much needed pause for rest, relaxation, reflection and renewal.
I am excited about the prospects of the future -- I can't hardly wait to see what path will unfold before me to follow when I return!
Reflect and renew with a spirit of gratitude and joy and humility.
Be Well

When we look to shaping a fulfilling life, and are considering engaging another to share in the journey, rather than look to what we don't have, perhaps it would be more fruitful to look at what we do have.
If we can honestly and freely share with another the answer to these questions, perhaps then our efforts will yield different results.
What is it that You need and want...
What is it that You are and have, and are willing to offer to another..
What is it that I am and have, and am willing to offer to another..
What is it that I need and want....
It is not about what we don't have, for some of that may be what we ultimately may seek; it is however about what we do have that we can willingly offer to another, hopefully and quite possibly ideally, in exchange for some of what we ultimately may seek.
Unfortunately, many fail to achieve that level of candor.
Be well

Meanderings on a Quiet Sunday Evening...

There is a restlessness about. The summer winds down and we look to the new beginnings each September brings. And with that, the passing of the "summer romances" and adventures.
As we return from the playful, fun-filled days of summer, we are reminded of the deep yearning within to have our lives, not ourselves, complete with the presence of a partner. I'm beginning to fear I'm being pulled into that strong desire for a partner, a special someone in my life.
It is not often that I permit that desire to emerge, as I struggle with it and often find it a distraction. After all, one can use denial and suppression as good techniques for not wanting one's life to be disrupted. Perhaps it's all the couples I'm meeting recently and I see all that could be had sharing good times with them, in the company of someone. Life would be so much simpler if that part was over and one could get on with the real opportunities and possibilities of experiencing all life offers and then some, in the company of someone special who also shares the same desires.
Don't get me wrong -- I'm a complete person in my own right -- the desire for a partner is to further enhance my already full life, and more importantly to fulfill the deep yearning for submission and control freely offerred up, that is so much a part of me.
So yes -- I only think about the lifestyle some times, for despite its importance, my life is bigger than D/s.
Be Well..

The Compass - Which Shall We Choose?

Each journey begins with a compass, but which do we use when venturing into this lifestyle? For many it is foreign or new territory, rich in prospects but equally strewn with perils.
How do we guide those who are new? It seems the tools we equip them with is that of reading and chatting, and eventually when they are ready, an invitation to venture out and meet 'like-minded' people in person.
What do we express to them as the 'lifestyle' norms? Patience and tolerance for diversity? An expectation of people who are open-minded, who willingly share in frank, open dialogue? A code that subscribes to trust, honour and integrity? A practice that embraces the notion of all things being safe, sane and consensual (or for those who prefer, risk-aware consent)?
How do we introduce a newcomer to the myriad of philosophies present and operating within our communities in an unbiased way? Or do we inadvertently share our biases under the auspices of providing an honest perspective (our own) of what we have experienced?
Civilizations of the past, passed their legacy to each new generation through the sharing of wisdom by the elders, by teaching and by role modelling. How well as a community do we pass the legacy on? What tools do we use? Do we in sharing our knowledge and experience, enable newcomers to embrace the 'sense of community' and bring to it their own uniqueness, or do we stifle diversity by demanding conformity and assimilation into the current norms of the dominant group. How often does the cry of tolerance for diversity result in a dilution of the norms that a community embraces? How often are principles shared that are only vague images of reality?
I often wonder how, when we are evolving so rapidly, we can genuinely pass the legacy on, without constraining the growth that we all seek, and without leaving the newcomer confused (and often betrayed) having been lead and taught to believe one thing, and yet encounters another.
What compass do we recommend they follow when travelling through their personal uncharted waters?
I welcome your insights, wisdom, and experience.
