Submission isn’t something handed to me.
It’s something I cultivate — intentionally, deliberately, and beautifully.
My left arm is becoming The Sanctuary:
a place where trust settles, where softness is protected,
and where rest is finally allowed to exist without apology.
Seven animals will live there —
all resting, all peaceful —
yet every one of them has teeth.
Because my submission is calm by choice,
not because I lack power.
Because my stillness is strategic,
not passive.
Because the peace I’m building inside me
is guarded by creatures who know how to bite
when safety requires it.
This month, I’m honoring that truth.
Self-obedience comes first.
Structure and rituals aren’t things I wait to receive —
they’re things I build for myself
so that, one day, someone worthy can be invited in.
Here’s what’s coming:
Sloth — Rest is a ritual
Quokka — Safety in being held
Panda — Peace as progress
Chameleon — Adaptability without erasure
Tiger — Power at rest
Meerkat — Watchfulness as connection
Squirrel — Gathering rewards from devotion
My softness has teeth.
And it rests on purpose.
If you’d like to build your own sanctuary…
explore Obedience with me.
