The 9 Service Languages | Intensive Session Wrap Up Thoughts

-
On Sunday, I wrapped up my first small group FULL INTENSIVE workshop that spanned 6+ hours over the course of 2 days. Anyone who has sat through my Intro class knows, The 9 Service Languages is a fucking BIG IDEA! When I first launched my class, I naively believed it could be tackled in a typical 90-minute or 2-hour session. I quickly learned that was impossible and that few platforms (cons, orgs, mtgs) had the ability to hold space for me and attendees to get DEEP in the weeds of WIITWD as it relates to Service. I am PROFOUNDLY HONORED that @S-O-C—the Service Oriented Conference—reached out to me earlier this year to be a part of their inaugural Intensive Program. They were the perfect partner with the perfect target audience for an Intensive of The 9 Service Languages of Authority Transfer Relationships/Dynamics. The session allowed me to work with a small group as we got our hands dirty, dissecting where, when, how, and why we do Service and considered ways to adjust, tweak, evol...

ONYX Pearls NY-NE | Rededication

-
Yesterday, ONYX Pearls NY-NE celebrated our 7th Anniversary, and I recognized four years since crossing into Leather.  It was a beautiful afternoon of celebrating our kaleidoscope of personalities and the connections we have forged through joy, laughter, tears, fire, personal growth, and leather during our journey.  

As a key part of our ceremony, we collectively rededicated ourselves to The Chapter by retaking our oath and were asked to share of few thoughts about our individual experiences and most importantly our Why.  The below reflects the words I shared yesterday with my sisters and siblings.  

However, I would be remiss in this more personal reflection if I did not call out two Sisters who have quite frankly altered the course of my life.  From the moment I met each of these amazing women, I was drawn to them.  Their energy instinctually spoke to me, and we have since woven bonds of Sisterhood that reach deep into my body, mind, heart and soul.  They have each embraced me, taught me, held me accountable, given me opportunities for growth, inspired me, guided and nurtured me, pushed me, counseled me, fed me, dragged me of bed, shoved me outside of my comfort zone, wiped my tears, held space for me, accepted my authentic self, led me to truths I hadn't yet found, celebrated my triumphs, protected me, loved me for me, and refused—even when I gave them plenty of outs—to let me stand alone.  Like...holy fuck.  They have been and ARE fucking PHENOMENAL.  

I am a better Top, Sadist, masochist, Leatherwoman, woman, property, Lioness, human being, Kat because of all that each of them have poured into me over the years.  I will forever be in their debt for everything that they have shared and in gratitude to The Universe for having brought our paths together.  

From the bottom of my soul, THANK YOU, my chosen Sisters, Silent & Bastet.

ONYX Pearls NY-NE Sisters & Siblings ~

Four and a half years ago I didn’t understand what I was beginning.  However, The Universe never fails to route us toward what we need even when we don’t know what's missing.  I trusted, and a door opened.

I found Leather.
I found Sisterhood.
I found You.

You are strong.
You are soft.
You are resilient in all that you do and all that you are.

You are compassionate.
You are wise and full of knowledge.
You are a moving inspiration to so many.

You are beautiful.
You are tenacious.
You are deep and rich and vibrant.

You are fuckin FIERCE. 
So much so you take my breath away sometimes.

And you are ALWAYS a Blessing that I am always profoundly thankful to have in my life.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey and for being fuckin jet fuel in my own journey of Leather & Sisterhood. I am honored to be a Pearl.

YOU are my Why.

May the next seven years see us dive even deeper within ourselves and reach even higher accomplishments that resonate for generations to come, just as the deeds and accomplishments of those whose shoulders we stand on.

In Leather and MUCH Love,
~DominaKat

The Compersion of An Unruly Whore

-
It didn't matter that my whore had been in time-out, curled in a ball, mute, and non-responsive for two months. It didn't matter that I had no way of managing her urges and cravings, so I'd shoved her in a cage with multiple padlocks and starved her dumb ass. It didn't matter that I didn't trust her to meet expectation or control her aggressiveness.  It didn't matter that He'd shown no need for her shenanigans.  As He kissed me good-bye and shut the door of the truck, my whore woke with a vengence—wide-eyed and panting—from her self-imposed retreat, howling in her cage, begging to be released from confinement. My fingers trembled, and I tightened my grip on the steering wheel, trying in vain to focus on my next stop and the list of tasks I needed to complete.  Though absolute pure joy flowed through me at the thought of His pleasure and happiness, I fought the unexpected tsunami of electric sexual energy that roared in my veins.   I couldn’t catch my breath....

My Truth

-
I've bottomed to Tops, but no one has ever truly seen me surrender or submit.  Whatever glimpse they may have seen of something...it was/is nothing compared to how I instinctively respond to THAT beautiful, sexy Man.  With Him...I surrender and submit with everything I am and everything I wish I could be.  Under, guiding, grounding all of my practical personalities and acts of service, the Truth is... The very sight of Him can bring me to tears.   The smell of Him grounds and eases my spirit. His voice, my compass to bring me Home. His touch effortlessly reaches in and can either settle or shakes the depths of my soul. The taste of Him is my Redemption. To have Him fill me, take me, claim me is my Ascension to Divine transformation. My Truth is... I fuckin Worship That Man. The ground He walks on. The very air He breathes.   My surrender to Him, His will, His needs, His comfort, His well-being are my True North.   I am simply His Lioness, Alf...
