Family Reunion

19 08 2008

Sir and I are back from attending my second and his fifth BlackBEAT.  This was our first as a couple and it was wonderful.  We got there very early Thursday morning (2:30am) and Sir was exhausted.  Such an awesome man he is, drove all the way from his home to the event and back again (7 hours each way).

We had such a wonderful time being with family because that is what it felt like…family.   An awesome woman (Mistress Max Rulz) gave our keynote speech for this meeting and she said that we should consider ourselves part of a family.  Which meant to me that we may not accept or even approve of everything each of us does in this lifestyle but just like a family we love each other anyway.  

I had an awesome time serving Sir and just being with him.  I have learned that my time with him need not be rushed with me acting like the perfect slave.  There is no need for me to rush this process of us becoming Master and slave as this is an ongoing life process. 

It was very grounding for me to meet others who live this style of their lives and to make connections in some way with many.  Before Sir and I left to come home we stopped over at one final gathering and had the chance to relax before saying goodbye to our friends.  I couldn’t help but cry at the comfort and acceptance i felt there.  We were all sitting around on the front porch laughing and joking and reliving moments at BlackBEAT.  It was just like a family reunion.

If you want to attend a lifestyle event I say save up and attend BlackBEAT 09, I promise you it will be worth it.

Comments are always welcome.





Back from BlackBEAT and Some Thoughts

19 08 2008

My girl and myself returned home from BlackBEAT yesterday, and spent some time together decompressing.  We left late Sunday, after delaying our departure to witness a beautiful collaring ceremony. It is good to see such things, if you get a chance to witness one, I reccomend that you do.

After returning from this conference, I am always recharged, reinvigorated (though not as much as last year, but I met my girl there last year). What I take a way from BlackBEAT this year is a focus on ettiquette and ethics in the Lifestyle.  Expect to see some writings and postings on this topic in the near future.  (And not just the stuff in the dungeon, but what to do when meeting other dominants (not dominates damnit) and submissives at events (munches, meetings, and confrences).

Please write your thoughts in the comments.
