How to Be More Aware

How to Be More Aware

By lunaKM on July 16, 2010

In this hustle and bustle world we are losing an important connection. No, I’m not talking about the internet; we are all plugged and tuned out from the world around us.

Don’t Assume Submissive Means Sister

By lunaKM on September 9, 2009

You know you’ve entered online submissive ground when everyone you don’t know starts to refer to you as sister.

Recently on FetLife I saw a question that had an interesting twist to the whole sister submissive thing that I’d [...]

Nonverbal Ways to Safeword

Nonverbal Ways to Safeword

By lunaKM on September 2, 2009

At the beginning of this blog I wrote about safewords. Just a reminder that a safeword is a signal that ends BDSM play and usually negotiated before play.  It’s an excellent starting point but I left a part of it out. There will be occasions during BDSM play where you will be unable to speak. [...]

On FetLife quite awhile back now, a slave posted her version of a rosary with her Master as the focus. As with any rosary or prayer beads, it is used in mediation and presents a spirituality in service that can be adopted and adapted to fit your relationship. I’ve always had a curiosity with religious [...]

Random Quote

Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.— Nicholas Evans, The Horse Whisperer
