My opinion of the post:
Never let other peoples ugly change your good heart!
Some truth: The other day, I found myself wanting to stop writing. To stop encouraging. To stop sharing. To just hide in the shadows and be quiet.
You know why? Because no matter what I say (or most people who speak up) inevitably there is someone who doesn't like it, someone who tells me I should change something, someone who is <insert what you need> and somedays I just feel tired of feeling misunderstood or judged or labeled.
I've been told I'm too positive.
I've been told I write toxic inspiration.
I've been told I'm too negative.
I've been told I should empower.
I've been told I should write just for moms.
I've been told I exclude dads.
I've been told I should speak up more.
I've been told I shouldn't have opinions on subjects.
I've been told I am selfish.
I've been told I am selfless.
I've been told so many many many things.
And friends, no joke, it's hard.
It's not like I sit behind the computer and think, "who should I offend today as I try to be an encourager?" It's more like I think,"how can I be light in this world?" as I hit publish and share, what I hope, will be a moment of joy, happiness, encouragement, truth and "you are not alone" to others.
And yet, it's challenging.
I think that's the hard thing about speaking up.
You put your vulnerability on the line.
You talk about stuff people don't want to talk about.
You listen and let go.
You care.
You deal with critics.
You learn to be empathetic.
And you keep coming back.
I was just on an interview and I told the interviewer how I believe for most of history women have ached to have a voice in this world. How we fought to be heard and here we are, now, being able to be heard and change lives. And then I told her that the saddest thing would be if we forget the power of our voice and instead tear each other down.
Let's be a culture that fixes each others' crowns.
Let's be a culture that sees the good intention first.
Let's be a culture that responds in love.
Let's be a culture that knows our responses matter.
Let's be a culture that gives to others.
Let's be a culture that listens and learns.
Let's be the example.
I really believe that is what I'm most proud of with this page - that we are light in a crowded and sometimes challenging social media world.
And that's why I will keep writing.
I will keep listening.
I will keep responding in love.
I will keep learning.
I will keep being real.
So with that, some words of encouragement.
Be kind, first.
Be forgiving.
Be loving.
Be an example.
And be proud of you.
And just so you know - I'm not going to stop writing. I value this space, this platform, this HONOR to be able to have a voice so much. <3

You may have a kinky brain when you find a sex toy in your carrots! Lol!
And yes that is a skeleton in the back yard!
It's Masters warning to trespassers!
On another subject!
Happy Monday and may all your veggies be kinky!
Sending out much love today! We hope you get over the hump without an bumps! Peace!
Bring on the the garden.
My matto,"You can't be mad at someone who is kind and smiling!"
And there is always room for jello!
This is why Master never let's me shop alone! ??
Yes I suppose I am.
In our Master/slave relationship Master owns my orgasms. I know this! It is a hard fast rule. I am allowed to masturbate but only with permission to do so. Master is very kind to this nyphomaniac and rarely denies me especially now that he has slowed down but never the less there is a protocol in our dynamic. I must always ask to achieve. I must obey if denied. I usually always follow this protocol. Accept when I dont!
If I don't ask I know the consequences and for this particular rule the punishment is usually serious.
Why then would I push this issue, why would I not have learned this lesson by now?
The answer is easy, because I enjoy the punishment as much as the sneaky orgasm!
I am a masochist!
So if you are like me breaking a hard fast rule despite the consequences, you too may be a masochist!
We love 4/20 today and everyday! Peace!
I just found this picture that brought back so many memories of our days of play and it might be confusing to some as Master is wearing the collar and I am leading with the chain.
Some here know that I have a switch personality but identify as more submissive than dominant That being said I do have a very strong 1%.
People use to ask if we had any pets and Master would always say that we had a wolf that only came out to play on a full moon. This was one of those nights and I can tell you we both were howling at the moon by the end of the evening.
Fun times and great memories!
