I was raised in Michigan from birth to age 17. The most vivid recolection I have of my childhood is the massive amounts of snow and the long winters. I was born in 1968 in a small community in a town called Cadillac. I am the youngest daughter of 3 girls. My parents were not well educated, and they worked hard to give us girls a good life. We played in the snow as children, making igloos, snowmen, and ice sculptures. How we could stand the freezing weather is beyond me, but even now my 8 yr old grand daughter is just like we were. Oblivious!

My lifestyle is often a very misunderstood concept. I am a submissive, I live 24/7 with my Dominant. But, by no means am I a doormat, abused, or going to give in all the time. When I entered into my lifestyle with my Dom we discussed everything. We have an open, loving, dynamic relationship. My children know that we love one another, and that we love them. I am a life member of the VFW and a college student, as well as a parent and grand parent. Our children all know that were are in this lifestyle, and talk openly with us about it. It is from strangers that I get the wierdest questions, like Does he beat you?, or even "can't you make discision on your own?. I am happy, he is happy, why can't society be happy for us, our children are.

I have always wanted to go back and ask my father if he loved me. I do not remember every hearing I love you as a child and my Father died when I was 21. because of this I have made it my mission to say I love you to my family everyday, I never want those I love to wonder when I die
