Those of us consciously walking a path of intentional and consistent D/s have come across times when we wonder about our personal capacities and those of the people with whom we have association. We seek inside ourselves, we go to conferences, read books, mentor, attend workshops, munches, review Leather history, ...

This is a thing of beauty that has come out of all of this. Elaine Miller does hot graphics work. The ass my latex gloved hand is on? A thing ...

History like you never learned it in school! From the marriage rites of ancient ...

So I go to this thing which is a monthly conversation among Dominants. Frankly, it's among males Dominants and me. Very interesting. MEN. **sigh**
It's good because the perspective is different and as a whole this group of people has thought about things differently than I have. I think I have more reference ...

Barely into the New Year and I've got many a plan up my sleeve already. Which surprises even me given the events of the fall.

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 ...

Soon I'll be on my way to Black Beat. A conference I've been wanting (and fearing) to attend for five years or so.
http://www.blackbeatinc.org/
I can't wait to surround myself with black kinksters. To be able to walk into a space where I don't have to explain so many things about how ...

How much fun was THAT!
I've never been to Bang 4 the Buck. And being in the presence of over 200 women all lathered up and scantily dressed was certainly this side of heaven.
Saturday's workshop was illuminating as I have frequently found Midori's sessions to be. And as always I am ...

What a good time. I feel more balanced and centred and grounded than I have in a while. I'm inspired to continue the conversation live and in person through D/s dinners. Anyone interested?
So in addition to the several sessions described in the list below, I also did ...
