Took a serious break from my learning path this year. Life indeed what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
I committed myself at the beginning of the year to expanding my understanding, skill and network of people – locally and afield – in the area of Dominance/submission and of master/slave.
I consider what I do a craft. A path to which I have committed my passion.
If things were different I would be going to more than just BlackBeat this month. I would be at the master/slave Conference in Washington this weekend too. I would miss Reg’s B-day but I’d like to think that she would still have love for me *grinz*
There is one couple here in Vancouver that claims that they are the “only ones who do master/salve”. This makes me blink. REALLY??!
I know there are others. I know that I am one. Maybe my manifestation looks different to theirs… but so is my skin.
Vancouver has a strong, visible BDSM community. The D/s M/s community is not so visible; not so active in their exchange of knowledge and skill.
With this craving I started down my path this year. One committed to learning and community building. Following two successful D/s Dinner/salons my body forced me to cancel the June gathering. But following my convalescence I plan to do another.
And while learnings from the master/slave Conference won’t be part of what feeds me this year, BlackBeat will. I’m told by organizers that I’m the only Canadian attending (the other had to cancel) – hard to believe but we’ll see. If I am, then I’ll be the best Lady Ambassador I can and bring what I learn and experience back to the team. How lucky am I?
