For some reason I kept thinking LOL was 17&18th. Woops. :)
Hi, everyone. I don't know how many lurkers I have out there, but I wanted to say hi.
In case you don't know me well, I'm 40, live in Canada, married to a wonderful man we call Duke on here for almost 11 years now, and started DD 6 years ago this month. It has had it's up and downs, and we now incorporate D/s and some light BDSM. We keep learning, we keep growing. :)
I remember back when starting to read about DD, how scary it was, how naughty and exciting, and the fear of writing that first comment. Was I weird? Would I come across as some silly woman who didn't know anything? Would my ignorance on a topic I so wanted to learn get me shunned? And so many more fears.
Well, I wanted to let you know that none of that happened. This is a loving community, and I was welcomed with open arms into a group of people who was also searching, guidance from those who had already been there, and no judgement. I'm not saying you have to comment, I don't ever want you to feel pressured to do something you are not comfortable with. That is part of what DD, D/s is all about, right? Not doing something because you feel pressured. I totally understand that and only ever want you to write because you want to.
This is our squirrel, he lives on our property somewhere. But always hiding. He's learning, like I learned, that the world out there isn't so scary. :) Took this a few years ago, he's much more used to us now. :) We never engage him, we are just outside a lot, and our presence is no longer as frightening. :) Hopefully you'll find the same here in blogland. :)
So, if you ever wanted to say hi, or have questions, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you all who read, I am truly thankful that you find something worth while in all the things I write.
Happy Love Our Lurkers Day. I am so thankful for you.
EsMay

Hi EsMay, :) Happy LOL Day to you and the Duke! I've always enjoyed reading here, since back in the early days! cannot believe all those years have flown by like they have!
ReplyDeleteLove your squirrel photo! I did the same kind of thing, as you noticed, with my chipmunk photo. Perfect pics for the occasion! Btw, did you happen to look up the Sophie's Universe crochet along? You might enjoy that one. So cool!
Have a fun rest of the LOL Day celebration! Many hugs,
❤️Katie xoxo
I know, we started blogging almost at the same time. :) Wow, does that mean we're getting old?? lol
DeleteI saw your chipmunk, so cute. :) I have not looked up the crochet yet, but I'm going to. I have it on my to do list. Just finishing up some courses right now before Christmas. :)
Happy LOL Day to you too. :)

Hi, EsMay! I really like how you phrased this post... encouraging others, but understanding that "pressure" is not the way to get any of us to open up whether we're lurkers, readers, or fellow bloggers! I think your posts are honest and helpful and real. Best to you on LOL day and always! I hope you get some new readers that are ready to open up to you! Feel better soon! Hugs! Windy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Windy. I never like feeling pressured, and I don't think I could force anyone else. And thank you for liking my posts. I really do try to be honest, even when it's hard and embarrassing. I think we learn so much through vulnerability. :)
DeleteHugs, EsMay
I really enjoy your blog. I especially liked when you noted two free books which I got and read. I always enjoy your posts as they seem so honest. Thanks for sharing. Merry
ReplyDeleteHi, Merry. :) It is so nice to meet you. :) I don't know if you'll check back, but if you liked those books, the Dom series by Laylah Roberts, the first one was one of the two free, she has the first three in that series on sale for under a dollar right now in a single book on Amazon. :) It is so nice to meet you. :) :)

Happy LOL day to you and Duke
