my journey

~hugs all my friends...one big, lusty, groping group hug~

You guys are just amazing. I didn't say what I said to encourage "compliment tessa time". This place is just the best! It's a little rough going right now, just because of the differences between two people and life happenings and whatever. But no matter how upside down or confusing or great or frustrating or amusing it all is, I know I can count on my family here to encourage and support me.

NK, you get my sincere respect for handing my words back to me like that. I'm also impressed. And I thank you.

pixie and moptop, you both are so beautiful to me. Don't know how I ever made it along without friends like you. ~hugs and hugs~

I still can't take the compliment, not as it is. But if I am contributing in any way, then I'm very happy about that.

Much love-
tessa

ps. NK, nice ass grope you have there.

pss. Oh, it wasn't you?? ~looks over at moptop and pixie~ Well...~big grin~ Nice.

Wow. Since joining the forums I don't think I have read a thread all the way through. But Tessa, yours was so wonderful and inspiring. And not just for those wishing to live the D/s lifestyle. But for those wanting and fighting and striving to get what they want out of life.

You know I have always thought (And now that I am over 50 I always try to play the Wise Old Man) that the people most worthy of looking up to and emulating are those that least think they are worthy of that honor. You certainly are one of those most worthy so I beg to differ with your assessment of yourself.

You are a funny, talented (I love your stories), caring woman and I salute your courage at posting your journey.

I have also learned that for every answer I get to life, 10 more questions arise. But you and DD have learned one of the major secrets, if you care for one another you communicate and you work and it sounds like both of you are reaping the rewards of that hard work.

You are not just a beautiful subbie, though.

You are a beautiful and caring mother,
You are a wife
You are comfort to more people than you know
You are a beautiful, sexy woman

You wear all these hats, it seems to me, with grace, with dignity and with competence.

Thank you for letting me ramble on. ANd thanks for sharing your story.

And I feel like I have found a home here in the forums as well.

*exchanges sweet wide-eyed innocent looks with pixie* Grope? *looks wonderingly at hand* Oh, grope! *puts naughty, naughty hand behind back* It's just... muscle strengthening. For, um, playing the flute. Yeah, that's right.

Oh, wonderful moptop! I needed that grin!

~hugs for you and for those flute-playing hands of yours~
