"When you open your mind and hands and heart to the knowing of a thing, there is no room in you for fear"

I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here.
There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.

As I mentioned in the previous post, we have negotiated a trial service arrangement with a submissive woman. She will be in service to my household, under boy's direct supervision three days a week. Evenings she will help clean up after dinner and then be under my direction in exploring bdsm and identifying her place. She will attend some local events with us in service as well.
This has all developed quickly. We met her at an APEX event in May and boy talked with her a few times. However, she was in a long distance relationship and left at the beginning of June to visit her Master/Trainer. It did not go well. Last week she contacted boy and discussed what had happened. She broke off her relationship and then, during friendly conversations with boy, raised the possiblity of serving us. After an exploratory discussion with her, boy brought it to me. We negotiated on Friday for a one-month trial service period. Tomorrow afternoon she will come over and receive her standing orders/protocols and discuss any concerns, then begin her service.
We are all clear that this is a service arrangement: she will not belong to us, though there will be some SM activities negotiated. She needs focus and structure that we can provide and we have a lot of household tasks that need attention. In addition, she wants guidance in exploring bdsm activities and figuring out what she wants, likes, and needs. This will give both myself and boy the opportunity to work with someone new, and for us to co-top for the first time. It will also help us develop a working structure for my household, so that when we do find a second slave, we'll know what to do with her/him.
There is the possibility that this person may grow to take that position in my house. However, we are making no assumptions at this time. She is fairly new to leather/bdsm and is still figuring out what she is and what she wants. The only expectation we have is that all three of us will remain open and honest during this one-month trial. At the end of that time, we may decide to just be friends, we may negotiate a longer service agreement, or we may discover some other structure that works better. We'll just have to see what happens.
