Friday, December 28, 2007   Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point. -- Harold B. Melchart Labels: quotes  
 Tuesday, November 13, 2007  I just thought this was beautiful, especially the image to the left. .The quote can be hard to read, so this is what it says: Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. ~Anais Nin Labels: cross-posted, quotes

Tuesday, May 29, 2007  I adore this picture and this quote.
Friday, April 27, 2007 If there is chemistry and common interests, the Dominant and submissive dynamics of our personality will naturally fall into place. All too often people are only focusing on the D/s aspect of the other person and then wonder why it goes horribly wrong. ~Anonymous I completely agree with this statement and think it is going to be my new motto. :) So many times I have overlooked certain things that aren't a match because the guy and I were a match D/s wise. Being a submissive isn't my complete focus in life, it is part of who I am but it is not the only thing that I am. If the person is the One meant for me, He and I will click in other ways too, and the power exchange dynamic will come naturally as we learn of each other and grow in trust.

Saturday, April 21, 2007 Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness. ~Dag Hammarskjold Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies. ~Aristotle Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts. ~Margaret Lee Runbeck The language of friendship is not words but meanings. ~Henry David Thoreau Labels: quotes
Wednesday, April 18, 2007 What is my life if I am no longer useful to others. ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe This is something that has haunted me for a long time... I've always known that my purpose was to serve, help others, and do what I can to make things easier/better for other people. I have selected the group that I work with, devoting my time to those who needs my help. Even before I found M/s, I believed that I was to help others and be a supporter of those that need me. I was brought up in a small town Baptist family, my Dad was a Deacon and my Mom did Ladies Prayer Band and Children's Church. My family taught me to help serve the community with them. So when I found D/s it naturally fit. However... my body is screaming at me to slow down, take time, and be nice to myself. I understand that I will not always be able to do the things that I do now, work these hours, volunteer with this many organizations, take on the weight of my world (and my friends) and be fiercely independent in it. So where does that leave me? Topic provided by Kindlings Labels: Journal Prompts, quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s
Sunday, April 15, 2007 An Iron-Gate essay about what a Dominant is... He is in control of himself first and foremost, so that he may control others. As a stern and demanding Dominant, he can cause his sub to cry real tears. As the consummate lover, he will then kiss the tears away, without ever stepping out of character. I hate to quote so much from somewhere else especially when I can post the link, but I really like these words and it gives me hope that there is someone out there who is real, kind, honorable, consistent, and also Dominant. I have often wrote about what about him makes a him the one who is able to teach me to be a better person, submissive, and friend. This explains is perfectly: "He must also show her that his guidance and tutoring is knowledgeable and deserving of her attention, that this is a man she can learn from, and trust his direction." Iron Gate has many essays that are good and informative. This is the one that spoke to me the most tonight... Hmm... maybe this should be my letter to Santa this year! haha elana Labels: Guys, quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s
Friday, April 13, 2007 No matter how chaotic it is, wildflowers will still spring up in the middle of nowhere. ~Sheryl Crow While I'm navigating hectic traffic on the interstate, I'm always surprised to see the pretty wildflowers along the grassy spots between the lanes. Those flowers make me smile, reminding me that there are beautiful things, however simple, and that I should always make time to see that. This quote really spoke to me. Things have been pretty wild at work and in my personal life. my best friend, Pixie, is also going through a lot right now. However, we both got to talking earlier today and decided to completely redo my blog layout and color scheme. Pixie is excellent on Front Page and I have a little bit of a working knowledge of html and this is what we came up with. I love it, I absolutely love it. Labels: quotes

"I hate you..." I'm not sure how this quote makes me feel. On one hand, I like the thought of a Man having the ability to get me to do things I secretly want to do but am scared/embarrassed to do them on my own. On the other hand, something about the quote doesn't set right... I'm not sure if its because I secretly like it or because it bothers me deep down. The more that I think about it, the more that I read it... I think it doesn't set right because it is about someone having that level of control over another, or in this case, over me. That is one of the main things that I crave so badly. And I don't like being 'that' exposed, that vulnerable. Sometimes it makes me feel like a 'sitting duck' for the players out there. But if I am honest with myself, that only makes me attract those who aren't interested in who I truly am. So... I'll just be me. :) Because I'm fabulous! haha ;) Labels: quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s
Monday, March 26, 2007 I really like these quotes, I didn't care for the new 'Catwoman' movie but there are a couple quotes that really touched me. You've spent a lifetime caged, By accepting who you are all of who you are you can be free. and freedom is power. ~Catwoman I really feel that if I could truly accept all of who I am, truly accept myself... completely wholey totally... that I would feel free. I know who I am, have learned things that I enjoy doing ~ for me. There are still parts of who I am, my behaviors, my thoughts, my views on different things that I am working on changing because I don't like them or those parts of myself. I know I am hard on myself so maybe I can learn to embrace who I am ~ but first I must truly accept myself. For a long time, I thought that I needed to find a Partner who could totally accept me, but now I am learning that it first comes from within. In my old life, I longed for someone to see what was special in me. You did, and for that, you'll always be in my heart. But what I really needed was for me to see it. And now I do. You're a good man, Tom. But you live in a world that has no place for someone like me. You see, sometimes I'm good. Oh, I'm very good. But sometimes I'm bad. But only as bad as I wanna be. Freedom is power. To live a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that I've been given, and so my journey begins. ~CatwomanOf course most of the time I was teasing, but I have always said that when I am good I am very very good, and when I am bad... well it depends on how bad I want to be. Sometimes when I am bad I am still good at it. haha My favorite part of this quote is "to live a life untamed and unafraid" ~ that sounds truly amazing! Not that I want to have to go about it the way that Patience did in the movie, but perhaps once I reach the reality of total acceptance... I can begin my own journey. Labels: Dear Diary, quotes
Sunday, March 11, 2007 'You responded well to the taking,' I said. 'Perhaps it is fitting for you. 'You do not respect me,' she said 'You do not want to be respected,' I said. 'You want to be cherished, treasured, handled, abused, mastered, owned, subdued, forced to serve and love.' She was silent. ~Renegades of Gor Something about this quote lingers in my soul. "You do not want to be respected... you want to be cherished, treasured, handled, abused, mastered, owned, subdued, forced to serve and love." At first glance it may sound like a bad thing, but I cannot get it out of my head. Yes those are things I want, and to give me those things a Man cannot truly respect me in the sense of seeing me as an equal. And I don't want him to! I don't want to be his equal, I want to be his treasure, his possession, his pet, his cherished love, and sometimes his property. Good or bad, raining or sunshine, I want to be His. Deep down, I want to be His, truly His. But there is a difference between being disposable and being valued, because I want the second. Yes it may sound bad at first, but I want him to do anything- come hell or high water- to protect me, guide me, keep me safe and hold me close to Him... Not dispose of me like some two bit street whore picked up at 3a in an alley. Yes I am a feminist, I do not desire this because I am female and can not do it alone-- I want this because I have a gentle spirit, a giving heart, and a burning need to please and serve. Yes I could be happy alone, making my own decisions, doing my own thing, consumed in my own needs/wants... I could do it successfully... but I wouldn't be who I truly am. To me, this quote is about the difference of dynamics between man and woman, and Man and slave. Sometimes there is something more wonderful than being respected as an equal. Sometimes the best thing one could be, is His pet. *authors note: fictitious 'His/Him' because this adorable elana girl is single.* Labels: quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s
Sunday, March 04, 2007 Most of us who enjoy power exchange have tried to come up with the best way to explain how important trust (which requires communication and consistency) is to a (power exchange) relationship. While exchanging emails with a new friend, he put into words what I have been struggling to say. Power exchange without developing trust is just playing out some fantasy. ~FeelMyDomination Its spelled out perfectly in this statement and he has given me permission to quote him. :) For me, "play" (I hate that word for it) without the trust is like acting out a scripted play instead of sharing something intense between the two. Of course I am probably reading a lot more into it than he intended, because for me, any play at all without power exchange is scripting out a fantasy. But I agree with what he stated too. Thank you again, Sir, for allowing me to post your words in my blog. elana Labels: quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s

Saturday, February 17, 2007 I truly believe this quote, so in celebration of that I am posting pictures of big beautiful women that I have found, and love, here to share with others. No one can tell me these pictures aren't sexy!          
Sunday, February 04, 2007 The day slips away to its unreasonable place, and she’s again lost in His soft face. Strong arms surround her to remind her of this, that her soul is lifted with the slightest of kiss. He bares her burdens upon loving, sweet hand, and she knows she is His, a gift given without demand. Lost in passion’s loving warm embrace, she feels his spirit within her soul to trace. They are one in the center of a lost, forgotten being, for together they are strong, forgetting everything by Fire_Jim_D "You have very expressive eyes. They suggest a loving, passionate soul who has grown to be strong and independent out of necessity. A soul others lean on for strength without another to return the favor. Yet, they tell the tale of an angel, a sweet, giving soul…that of a little girl, whom you’ve hidden away until she can find he whom she can lean on, so the little girl can live again." Hmmm..... interesting perspective. Labels: quotes
Thursday, January 25, 2007 People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. Dear Diary, I am very guilty of this. Sometimes its easier to lock parts of myself up so that they won't be hurt again. At least, that was my coping strategy for a long time. I know that I cannot change what happened in the past, and I'm not sure i would want to. Everything has made me who I am and I like that girl :) But at the same time, I wish I were a bit more trusting or at least that I viewed sex differently. Its not that I am a prune or even hung up, I just get uncomfortable talking about my personal preferences when it comes to sex or even intimate physical kink. I refuse to apologize for wanting needing requiring a mental/emotional connection with a man before I even care what happens physically. I do get lonely sometimes. This is new to me, I haven't really gotten lonely before, not like this. Maybe that means that growth has taken place and I am more open to something, so I miss it more. Or maybe its because I am so focused on work that I haven't left time for myself.. and since I am taking time for myself this year (resolution) I am realizing how lonely I have been the whole time? I wish I knew why I try to push people away when they begin to get closer to me. Its not something that I do on purpose, usually I still like the guy when I start picking those little arguments or voicing my opinions. I used to think its because I never really voiced my opinions honestly until I became emotionally invested in the 'friendship/relationship' and by then he didn't want to hear my opinions. Of course there is no way of knowing... my only hope is that the right One for me is not only patient but able to read between the lines. elana Labels: Dear Diary, Guys, quotes, thoughts on D/s or M/s

Sunday, January 07, 2007 Dear Diary, I watched 'The Wedding Date' a couple nights ago and here are a couple quotes that really popped out at me. I definately identify with the first one.... its one that I feel like I'm constantly struggling with. The hardest thing is loving someone and then having the courage to let them love you back. Nick: Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close... your... eyes. You're safe. You can relax. I'm not going to kiss you. He's gonna be so sorry he lost you, so stop worrying. Forget the past. Forget the pain. And remember what an incredible woman you are. You do that and he'll realize what he lost. Kat: Holy crap. You're worth every penny. Sometimes I wish I already had all of the answers. That I knew the person I would not only end up becoming but also who I would end up with. I know that I am submissive and I want to be with a dominant man, but I also want him to have time for me... really have time for me. If I'm sick, I need more attention than I normally would so that I know that when we are together-together he will be able to take care of me. I know that is a big fear for me, that no one will be there to take care of me when I'm sick or old. I am the person in my family that takes care of everyone and everything, from hospital stays to treating the flu, I'm the girl they call. And I do it, happy that I am able to be there for them... but when I'm sick, no one has time for me. I know that is why I'm so hard on guys I am talking with or dating. maybe that is why I try so desperatley to push them away when I'm sick. This time of year everyone is talking about resolutions and whatnot. So here are mine, in the form of proverbs of course :) Don't let your past dictate who you are but let it be part of who you will become. What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
