Service Book of Days 10/19/09

19 10 2009

Outside my window… (weather, what do you hear, what do you see?) it is a little brisk on my side of the world today. We’ve had weather that was 14 degrees below normal for this time of year.
my thoughts…are about trying to regain my equilibrium in regards to my slavery. So I have decided to meditate and focus on my commitment to Master Void.

Today’s Quote…When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer ‘Present’ or ‘Not guilty.’ Theodore Roosevelt (1858 – 1919)

That was just funny…lol Hey not all quotes have to be meaningful in a serious way. Life is not really that serious all the time.

i am thankful for…always my family, all my moments – good and bad. I know I keep saying this but these are the things that I am most thankful for…everything else is just gravy, as the saying goes.

From my service training…(any skills, training etc; notes you want to share this week) I am learning quick but nutritious meals for the kids and getting them into good habits of nutrition. It is never too late to learn some good habits.

Also, I am going to start working again with my belly dancing DVD. Master loves sensual dance so this will be something worthwhile for me to learn. Exploring my sensual self.

From the kitchen…(menu for the week, what are you cooking?) I am learning that it is not just about cooking the food but creating comfort. A meal that is served well means just as much as the preparation.

i am wearing…my workout clothes. Trying to stay true to my health and fitness goals set by Master.

i am creating…(crafts, sewing etc;) nothing new at the moment. But I think I want to create something. Just not sure what yet.

my adventures this week…(where are you going this week?) Continuing to repair my house for selling.

Becoming well read…(What are you reading this week?)…Nothing this week. I am going to search for another good book on surrendering and slavery. Master recommended “Leathersex: A Guide for the Curious Outsider and the Serious Player”, by Joseph Bean and Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management (Oxford World’s Classics)

i manifest and co-create…(what are your hopes, dreams, and prayers this week) Peace and tranquility in my house and with my children. I pray for the people around us to not take their life for granted. Incidentally, the phrase “peace and tranquility” is Master’s new signoff tagline.

Todays Melody..(what music are you listening to? even if it’s just the sound of a bird…)  No melodies today…just quiet.

One of my favorite things…I am relearning my love for cooking.  For creating my own meals.
further plans for this week…housecleaning/clearing. Continuing my workout plan. Fixing up my house.

Still….life (share a picture you’ve taken OR a picture you found online that speaks to you)
Fractal.  I love saying that word.  It’s a fun word to say.

A fractal is “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,”[1] a property called self-similarity

A Helpful Resource – Slave Craft by A Grateful Slave w/ Guy Baldwin (Author Edit)

6 12 2008

I am editing the title for this book reference as it should say written by A Grateful Slave with Guy Baldwin

======================================

I have started reading a book in a slave group I belong to and I thought I would pass it along to you.  I hope some if not all find it helpful.

The book we have been reading is called “Slave Craft”.  This book is written by a male slave but reading it I found that it was hard to tell the difference as this book was written from a slaves perspective, not a male slaves perspective.   This was one of the things I enjoyed about this book…the way that it is written for slaves.  This book is not just written for those who identify as slaves but those who identify as submissive as well.  I think that subs and slave differ in the amount of control that is given to their Dominant or Master but that we can still struggle with the same issues of being a submissive or slave.

This book is not a how to book for slaves/subs in terms of standing positions, specific speech patterns used, or demeanor per se but this book gets to the heart of the matter of being a slave.   For me, this book spoke,  in a deeper way, to the why question of me being a slave.

Some of the topics in the book include:  The Myth of slave training, Seeing Slavery, The Principle of Indetity, The Principle of Obedience, and the Principle of  Transparency.

Here is a link to an excerpt from the first essay in the book:  The call to submission

I would recommend this book to anyone, those new or seasoned in this lifestyle.

Slavery on the Homefront Too.

29 10 2008

Just so as we do not become complacent and think that slavery only exists overseas, the San Franscisco Chronical brings us the tale of John France Gonzales.

A 24-year-old Daly City man was sentenced today to 16 years in state prison for holding a girl in his basement bedroom for a year, during which he had sex with her and beat her when she resisted.

“The judge agreed with the prosecution that this was a very serious case, that the crime involved a minor and a long period of violence and threats,” said Assistant District Attorney Melissa McKowan. “She was kept from her family and basically confined for a year.”

Defense lawyer Paul De Meester argued that the relationship John France Gonzales had with the girl, whom he kept from her parents for 18 months, was consensual and Gonzales only pushed and shoved the girl.

Now I am a big fan of consentual slavery, but I think that it comes as a part of our Lifestyle that we must be among the most vocal opponents of enforced slavery or indentured servitude.

But, what do you think?  Let us know in the comments.
