Last week we started a journey through the service exploration workbook "Where I am Led" by Christine Parker.
(For details of last week's session and a little about the workbook please see previous post)
At the next session being held on Monday (24th September) at 12pm (noon) SLT W/we will be taking a look at patience, which is third guidepost in the workbook (W/we will return to guidepost 2 at a point in the future - obedience has been covered quite a lot recently in group discussions so we have skipped to number 3). What does patience mean to you in a D/s relationship? Have you had to work at developing your patience?
Guidepost 3: Patience
Exceptional service requires exceptional patience. Have faith, focus on what is happening in the present, and the rest will follow.
W/we will also consider the following two "thoughts for the week":
"....Never assume that something is allowed just because it is not expressly forbidden. For example, an order to be respectful to all Owners does not imply permission to be disrespectful to all others..."
and
"... It is often said that slaves should never be proud. This does not mean that slaves should not gain self-esteem and satisfaction from the progress they have made and their accomplishments. The danger of self-pride in a slave is complacency. By remaining humble, a slave will continue to strive for further growth..."
Do you agree with these statements? disagree? have something to add, an experience to share?
Please join U/us at the Temple of Discussion to reflect and discuss. Led in voice but text always welcome as well. Open to A/all.
If you can't make it on Monday but would like to contribute please do comment under this post and I will certainly share your thoughts on your behalf at the discussion.

Although I didn't turn up until 45 min had passed, there was a lot of avies draped seductively about - but most importantly, for me, those who had things to say were very inclusive, open and supportive.
It was the first time I'd heard Renata speak which was a treat :)
I had bumped into Damiel in the past at the BDSM HUB, so I was unprepared for the way in which he showed his humanity (I'd sort of thought he was an ALPHA male Dom from his posts at the BDSM HUB - nice)
there were lots of cute German Accents too, and I'm sure this added significantly to my pleasure at the event.
Well Done Julala, I really hope I can make the rest of your series
Thanks so much for your support Estos :o)
