This full moon was dubbed "Flower Moon" because flowers spring forth across North America in abundance around this time.
"There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the Moon howls."

I ask you, what’s more important than true connection? With it, we have the ability to cultivate a life with weight and girth, a beautifully robust life. Foster healthy relationships built upon trust, respect, kindness, and honesty, but only when we allow the most vulnerable selves to be seen. Open ourselves completely to the energy of another and give and receive without judgment. Trust and feel safe. Connection can be that which gets you through the rough patches and the difficult conversations, and lifts you up on days you feel less than yourself. Connection strengthens us. It makes us feel valued and heard. Connection can also heal, and remind us we aren’t alone; there is nothing more powerful than when someone hears the song inside you.
“When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.”
It is a modern irony that we live in a society that has so many ways to connect, so many ways to reach out, and yet we rarely put forth the effort to build connections. We talk, post, blog, and say nothing. Unfortunately, we’ve become increasingly more insular and cut off, cyber recluses. Connections take effort, they take time. Connections are investments and need to be nurtured.
“Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.”
Many things, you’ll discover in time, can be short-lived. Physical attraction, money, success, and the boxes and boxes of stuff we buy to fill our misunderstood needs. A connection can transcend all that. If you find someone who gets you, listens to your heart, your fears, your everything. Someone whom you can drop your armor, be yourself, and see your worth. Someone who shares with you a mental and even spiritual connection, someone who stirs your soul and inspires you. That is when you will see the greatness of connection, that is when you’ll know true intimacy.

My mind is, in my opinion, my most valuable asset. My submissive soul and the hardwired need in my core to serve and please mixed with the depths of my imagination provide endless opportunities for exploration. Most men can make a woman’s body respond and elicit orgasms, but the rare man with the insight and ability to lead and control her mind will own something much deeper.
Consistency stands as a cornerstone in the dynamic of Dominant/Submissive relationships, playing a pivotal role in fostering trust, stability, and growth within the dynamic. For the dominant partner, consistency is not merely a choice but a responsibility, as it lays the foundation for the structure and guidance essential to the submissive's well-being. However, the onus of consistency does not rest solely on the dominant's shoulders. The submissive, too, must demonstrate unwavering consistency in their submission, aligning their actions with their commitment to the dynamic. Together, both partners must uphold consistency in their devotion to each other, ensuring a harmonious and fulfilling relationship.
In a D/S relationship, the dominant assumes the role of providing structure and guidance to the submissive. Consistency in
enforcing rules, protocols, and boundaries is paramount, as it establishes a sense of security and predictability for the submissive. Without consistent reinforcement, the structure may falter, leading to confusion and insecurity within the dynamic. Therefore, the dominant must demonstrate unwavering consistency in upholding these aspects, thereby fostering an environment conducive to the submissive's growth and fulfillment.
For the submissive, consistency manifests through their unwavering dedication to their role. Consistency in submission involves more than just obeying commands; it encompasses a mindset of devotion and obedience in all aspects of the relationship. By consistently honoring their commitments and fulfilling their duties, the submissive reinforces their trustworthiness and reliability to the dominant. This consistency not only deepens the bond between partners but also strengthens the foundation of the dynamic, allowing both parties to thrive within their respective roles.
Beyond individual consistency, the true strength of a D/S relationship lies in the mutual devotion between partners. Both the dominant and the submissive must consistently prioritize and nurture their connection, recognizing it as a sacred bond built on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. Through open communication, unwavering support, and shared experiences, they reinforce their commitment to each other, fostering a relationship that transcends mere roles and titles. It is this shared devotion that sustains the dynamic through challenges and trials, ensuring its longevity and vibrancy.
Consistency serves as the bedrock upon which successful D/S relationships are built. From the unwavering guidance of the dominant to the steadfast submission of the submissive, and the mutual devotion of both partners, consistency permeates every aspect of the dynamic. By prioritizing consistency, partners create a stable and fulfilling relationship characterized by trust, growth, and profound intimacy. Thus, in the realm of D/S relationships, consistency is not merely a virtue but an indispensable necessity for enduring connection and fulfillment.

There was a pause after he said the word.
“Undress.”
He didn’t ask. He didn’t make it easy by simply stripping the clothes from her body, paving the way for his hands to touch all the places she’d longed for him to feel. He merely gave the command and sat back, watching her with hot, hooded eyes to see what she would do.
The pause seemed to stretch out into minutes, hours as her shaky self-confidence warred with her instinctive desire to please him. Each button slipped from its hole was a fragile victory; each creamy inch of skin bared another triumph - his, over her.
Her fingers trembled. She fought to suck in her tummy, to keep her pretty smile in place when the weight of his eyes made her want to pull her clothes back on and hide. When the dress slipped from her shoulders to pool around her ankles, leaving her standing there in her lacy bra and skimpy panties, her teeth worrying her lower lip as she fought the urge to cover herself.
He waited while she worked out the conclusion that she was not finished with his request. He didn’t hide the growing bulge in his pants or the hunger for her in his eyes. He refused to let her turn away or look down, holding her gaze even as her slender fingers unhooked her bra and let it fall away, then pushed her panties down impatiently, as if eager to finally be done with the process.
“Lovely,” he said, bringing a flush of pleasure to her cheeks. “Kneel.”
And for that request, there was no hesitation at all.

“Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment. Which is pretty amazing, when you actually think about it.”
— Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
There’s so much more to life than finding someone who will want you or being sad over someone who doesn’t. There’s a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesn’t need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do everything with love, but don’t romanticize life like you can’t survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isn’t any less beautiful, I promise.

Ain't it funny how things happen
Just as we think we've got it all straight
Everything seems to be moving forward
But instead we just sit around and wait
Seems things are in a lock down
Nervous looks all around
Everyone is speaking in whispers
No one wants to make a sound
I'm losing my touch, yeah
Losing my touch
Losing my touch baby, way too much
Baby, get me out of here
It should be clear
Keep an eye on on your front door, baby
I'll be slipping in round the back
I just need a little, a little cab fare
And then I'll let you hit the sack
Cause I'm losing my touch
Losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch way too much
Baby, get me out of here
It should be clear, yes
I ain't going to keep it long, baby
But just long, long enough
I've got to pick up my passports
And I've got to get my stuff
Cause I'm losing my touch
Just losing my touch, baby, baby, baby
I'm losing my touch way, way too much
Baby, get me out of here
Well it must be clear
Losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch
Yes I'm losing my touch way too much
Baby get me out of here
