Good morning Cage friends,
It has just turned past 1 full week since my Mikayla has arrived on my shores and I am abundantly grateful.
The very interesting thing about having my slave here is the fact that she has dedicated nearly every waking minute to the improvement and transformation of my space. Now keep in mind despite the fact I just finished my basement my house was still a complete mess. Not a complete mess but it has been shocking how much more work was still left to be done before the bbq for my family W/we are hosting.
This trip has very much been about pills, bills and all the in between.
I must say having an event that W/we are planning which requires projects left and right to be accomplished. Budgets to be managed and handled and with a few surprise additions (like tonsillitis and lost phones and damaged luggage while hauling rocks) W/we have had a very real dose of what life is for U/us. The good, the "bad" and the ugly.
The most remarkable thing happened though, I was having a conversation with some really wonderful people W/we are building friendships with (and to even some degree a form of mentorship) and the one gentleman spoke words that rang true for me. He was mentioning how his slave knew before she stepped into the lifestyle how important it was to be owned, and he reciprocated the feeling and need to own. How a working dynamic makes both slave and Master better. Those words have never been more true. I am a much better man because of my slave. I am made better because my slave drives me to be. She creates so much opportunity to push myself and if I'm willing to take a leap and put myself into a slightly uncomfortable position then I grow and become stronger.
Likewise, giving my slave direction. Spaces she can make her mark of improvement. Places she can serve me. Areas that can use her touch, and expertise truly transforms what I once had. Not only in my physical space but in my slave herself.
In this past week W/we have taken my house the building blocks that I have formed over the last 5 months and turned it into my home. She has worked her tail end off, even managing a full day of travelling the globe which then turned into a hike, partially hauling rocks for a semi permanent firepit (created a few days later) running errands, making appointments, getting groceries and making a hell of a first impression with my parents. Which totalled around 40 ish hours of her going nearly non stop. And then sleeping nearly 12 hours the first day W/we managed to get back home.
There is so much to "unpack" about O/our first week together. There is still so much for U/us to yet do before W/we host my family. But each day more gets accomplished. Little by little the jobs are getting done. Some very much permanently. Some semi-permanently with the intention for next year and next trip to be more fully finished. Once resources of finances are allocated. There was only so much W/we could focus first and only so much time and money to be used. It took careful planning sorting which jobs were most important and which could be done well enough with some elbow grease to be accomplished better and more fully at a later date.
Its not about creating perfection. Its not about finishing everything this moment or this trip. Its about building a life together, and improving 1% per day. Eventually as W/we improve with experience, as W/we learn each other and grow together W/we simply become better and perfect for each other. With intentional diligent effort, love and care.
Today I am finishing the first night of my return to work. The first time Mikayla has been alone since her arrival. I am very excited for the surprise breakfast she has been working at preparing for me. I am excited that when I return home that I will have food prepared and waiting for my arrival. I will have my Mikayla waiting to serve me to the best of her ability today. It's about learning to appreciate the small things and not take for granted what is selectively intentionally given, knowing that I still have to be disciplined and earn her submission just as she works to earn my hand and guidance.
What W/we do is a blessing from both sides of the slash. Its not entered in lightly or given without thought and meaning. Its about building each other up to become the absolute best versions of who W/we are meant to be.
I thank those that take the time to read my words today, and I pray that Y/you find the person who makes life better in all ways for Y/you.
