I'm Baaaack!!!

    Hi everyone....it's been awhile, eight months actually, but I couldn't stay away.  I feel out of sorts when I am not blogging and sharing my experiences in TTWD with all of you.  I thought that perhaps it would be easier to live our own version of DD if I wasn't constantly reading about how other people do it but that just isn't the case.  Wil and I are comfortable in our DD relationship and I know now that how we do things may not be exactly how other people do it, but it works for us.  Well most of the time it does.  Recently I have been having a lot of difficulty with my role as a submissive wife.  I still struggle with the thought that being submissive means being weak in some way.   I was raised in a home where my mother was the dominant force in my parents relationship as well as being very strong willed and controlling.  Because of this I find it hard to accept that a woman doesn't need to be in charge. That following the lead of my husband is the way it should be and for us the way it works best.  But still in the back of my mind I hear that little voice that says, "To be strong you have to be in control."

     Luckily DV over at A Dauntless Journey came to my rescue.  He wrote a very thought provoking blog about the strength of a submissive woman.  Everything he said was exactly what I needed to hear today.  It takes a lot more inner strength to remain submissive to someone then it does to just do as you please. It is so much easier to lead then to follow.  To be in control rather then to be submissive. I think that is what I had forgotten recently.  I am not weak because I submit I am strong.  Strong enough to know what I need in my life and my relationship and strong enough to allow my husband to lead me.  It's time I start living by those standards again and I look forward to the renewed closeness that living TTWD brings.
