After working so hard and achieving what I set out to do, finally sitting behind the wheel of a Tesla......
what if people we consider collectors today were actually just dragons in disguise, building their hoards?
“I am a dragon. And this is my hoard.”
“You… don’t look like a dragon.”
“Well, hardly anyone does, these days. Times have changed, we have too. The scales and tails thing worked with the dinosaurs, but we learned quite quickly that… that wasn’t going to fly with you people.”
“You were around all the way back to the dinosaurs?”
“Well, not like… me personally. How old do you think I am?”
“… There’s no safe answer to that.”
“No.”
“So… when you say this is your hoard…?”
“All dragons have them. Some stick to the old gold and jewels thing, but that’s so cliche these days. Most of us like our hoards to be a little bit more sophisticated than ‘shiny.’“
“Like what?”
“I have known dragons to collect snowflakes from the first fall of the year over dozens of centuries. I know dragons that collect petals of flowers left on the graves of loved ones. Dragons that keep and care for soft toys and comfort items, left behind as children grow up. Dragons that guard happy memories and shards of sunlight, kept safe for rainy days. And me, I keep a sanctuary of words. A bastion of language, of poetry. Of written music and achingly beautiful prose. I am the Guardian of this monument to linguistic majesty. I collect stories of love and life and death and mourning and joy. There is nothing more beautiful in all the world, no coin or gem or sliver of starlight more fantastic than a well-told tale. A story is this world’s truest treasure, and what better chest for it than a book?”
“Wow. So these things… really mean a lot to you, huh?”
“More than anything in this world.”
“So… I probably can’t borrow your copies of Discworld, can I?”
“You absolutely fucking cannot.”
I guess that makes me a Book Dragon
Secondary Fellings........
My Dom/Huband and I are both poly and we have had playmates in the past and present. He has noticed that I am......picky, to say the least. In living this lifestyle, I learned that safety, trust and respect are paramount to a healthy relationship.
He has been in vanilla relationships in the past and it was not until we discovered each other that he was finally given the life he was promised by others in his past. I encouraged him to seek playmates, to find people that spark his interest not only in bed but in other ways. He did that however he would break things off with them when they sought something more or would begin to hint that they were having feelings for him. It was abrupt and jarring to them to say the least.
I asked him about this, he said that because he was new and exploring that he didn’t want to get tied down to just one playmate and that his love for me was more than he needed and that made him happy. However, I was puzzled.
In a poly relationship, if there is a constant second, they should know that they are valued and cared for, hence the term “poly”. Feelings are a funny thing. They make you do strange things and can be in constant conflict with your brain. Even in a relationship where there are only two people, it’s complicated. Add in a third or even a fourth and you may be entering quagmire territory.
Openness is key. If you enter into a poly relationship every member of that relationship should feel free to share their feelings, whether you are first, second, third or so on.
Never be ashamed of your feelings in a poly relationship, feelings have merit and they should be valued, shared and understood.
Those in the primary positions in a poly relationship do come first but are no more important than others. There are the dynamics of the relationship to think about. Relationships evolve all the time, they are not a static thing.
It’s a good thing to remember to periodically touch base with all members involved, to make sure that things are going well for them. Are there things that someone would like to change? Do they have any concerns for themselves or another member of their group? This could be a minor thing (not hanging the towel up after a shower) to they would like to change the dynamic.
Honesty is key, just as communication. They go hand in hand. If you feel that things inside yourself are changing, it’s a good time to say to everyone involved. Hiding things like that can and will cause problems.
You could start feeling that you don’t matter. That you are taken for granted. There are a slew of feelings and they are each unique and important to everyone.
Don’t be afraid to open your mouth and say something. Keeping things bottled up only leads to more and more problems.

so my 14y/o daughter got into an argument with her high school principle yesterday for fighting. an older boy had come up to her and asked her out, but when she said no and tried to walk away he grabbed her by her arm and pulled her back. so she punched him and broke his nose. her principle then told her she should have “heard him out” and “it’s not like the boy actually hurt her” so her response was “inappropriate”. so my daughter then chewed out her male principle in the middle of the school corridor about rape culture and that if that was his attitude then he should probably quit teaching forever because all he was doing was teaching girls to be quiet victims and teaching boys that it was okay to touch girls against their will and then she pointed right in his face and said “men like YOU are why my mum taught me how to punch people properly”. she got a round of applause from 2 female teachers listening in and i have never been such a proud mama
A Mum teaching her girl right!!!

And I am using this book as the reason for today’s trip to the bookstore. Who am I kidding? Like I need an excuse????
Thank You
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of my new followers as well as those that have been with me since I started this blog.
Please feel free to ask any question you wish. I will keep answers private for those that wish it.
I know that this lifestyle isn’t for everyone and that’s ok to try it and decide for yourself. We all need to do what is best for ourselves.
I originally started this blog to help those that are new to the lifestyle and are curious, my second reason was safety.
I was quite fortunate that my first Dom was kind and caring. He taught me so much about the lifestyle but also gave me the freedom to explore my own boundaries, knowing where to push and what were my hard limits.
We have both moved on into new phases of our lives however, a good Dom not only teaches but learns from his ward as well. I still remember his lessons and have since expanded on them myself.
I now, pass them on for what they are, good advice and safety so that others can learn and do what is best for them.

Nothing.....but, Acceptance
I was asked what I love about being a submissive. I laughed to myself before saying, “Nothing.” Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t dislike myself nor do I struggle with self-acceptance, but that acceptance wasn’t easily won. Here’s the thing…unless involved with the right Dom (and everyone has a different definition of what is ‘right’ for them), being a submissive isn’t fun, at least, not for me.
Before I understood what I am, I had several failed relationships, including a 15 year marriage. I hurt the men I was involved with because they simply could not meet my needs - I didn’t behave badly towards them; but, because they couldn’t provide me with the things I needed (and I didn’t know how to convey my needs), all sorts of negative things resulted, including damage to their self-concept.
If I weren’t a submissive, I’d go on more dates; I’d be more open to relationships; I wouldn’t have this driving control of my life; I’d feel more feminine and relaxed; I’d be more honest with my friends about my innermost self (only 2 know that I am a submissive). I wouldn’t have this ache that cannot be sublimated. So many things, large and small, would be easier.
I’ve fought against being a submissive, but the reality is that the result of that struggle just hurts the men who want to be involved with me AND I hurt myself because I am not being authentic, self-accepting, self-loving, etc. It has taken maybe 20 years to fully accept myself in this, and I’m still learning more about myself all the time. It is beautiful; it is painful; it is honest; it is reality - not a fluffy novel or movie.
What do I love about being a submissive?…nothing. What do I love about submitting to the right Dom?…..oh my! everything, even when I’m hating it in the moment ;)
As I said, self-acceptance wasn’t easily won. To remind myself of the beauty in my journey and self, I have a day collar that *I bought for myself*. When I wear it, it reminds me that I am empowered to grow, choose, blossom, and celebrate all that I am and will be as I hope for a future with the right Dom for me.
This is something so pure and written from the heart in this message. She shows true courage in finally accepting herself for who and what she is. Bravo my Dear and thank you for sharing your story with others.
Thank you

Thank you once again and I feel truly honored to have you as followers and even more honored to have your trust. Thank you..... ~CATIEBRIE~
I really enjoyed your post about communication. I recently started dating a sub who have been in the scene for years, I myself is a newbie switch who have done mostly submission myself and I've rarely had such a communicative relation. He challenges me but never forces my style but the communication also expends to other areas, like I was upset with him for something else and instead of being silent and mad, I opened my mouth and we talked about it and we haven't had the problem since.
What you say is what many aspire to obtain but few are able to do because they think that to be submissive is to be quiet and take what you are dealt. SO NOT true. Communication works both ways. It's more than just the Dominant or top telling you what they want or expect, it's about mutual thoughts communicated from both people. In doing this a more fulfilling relationship can be obtained. Thank you so much for sharing your style of doing things. I truly wish you the most happiness possible and continued growth and exploration!
