"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it is by what he gives."
It's been a day of reflection ...
Since coming to the Cage, I have met so many different people. Some have treated me rudely, some have done some real hurt to my heart and shaken me to my core. This isn't about them.
This blog ... is for the people I have met who deserve to be acknowledged for having been a very big part of my growth.
Some have been protectors / mentors / advisors that have helped me grow as a submissive and as a woman. Some have become so very close they are like family to me. Where, under whatever circumstance we met, have been so profound, they have become a part of my soul.
All I was trying to do is find myself like everyone else here. Maybe again that's kind of the point.
Maybe the truth is I'm really not so ordinary. Maybe if we knew what other people were thinking, we would know that no one is ordinary.
The people I'm talking about (you know who you are) .. are EXTRAORDINARY people!! And I am so very grateful for you every day and could not imagine my life without you in it now. And I just want you to know that.
We all deserve our standing ovation.
My friends do ... for always being there to support me, even amidst their own struggles.
My mentors do ... for guiding, advising and assuring me.
My Daddy does the most ... for loving me, for being patient with me, for making me laugh and not giving up on anything, especially me.
The last piece is, if you really want to see what people are, all you have to do is look and try to be kind.
So...this is my STANDING OVATION to my very special friends!
You mean the world to me and I feel privileged to have you in my life.
You are people of integrity, the cream of the crop ... no one can hold a candle to you ...
I LOVE YOU ALL!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
