i am a submissive, slave and soulmate to my Master, Paul. i am so happy to see there are others out there. one thing i want to comment on, because it is such a *true* pharse is "power exchange". Master and i are well aware of the importance of the balance of power between Dom and sub in the Lifestyle. if O/one doesn't realize how it works, the term can be misunderstood. everything i have, everything i am....is His. i willingly give up all for Him, giving Him the "power". however, He takes on all responsiblity for my well being. as i am His property, He is my protector. S/some disagree with my choice of word "property" but, i am just that, i am His....and my soul glows in His presence. do W/we fight? *nods*...uh huh...definately! *giggles* but at days end, i know my place.....its right where i began, right where i'll end, right where i want to be....*smiles*

Master's slave and soulmate,
