A Leather family consists of one's Household as well as one's Leather friends, brothers, sisters and parents. It's nice...this is the family you get to choose! We call this our FOC (family of choice). Local groups I participate in are: Other groups I've been a part of: And, I highly recommend Southwest Leather Conference, South Plains Leatherfest, Master/slave Conference, Master Taino's Trainng Academy and, in particular, APEX Butchmanns Experience. These are Leather events for those who are looking for relationship and/or spiritual focuses. (Not that the learn-how-to-do-X conferences aren't fantastic!) ----- As for my Household (called the House of Fire which started out as a joke): I have many wonderful friends in the lifestyle. In fact, too many to really list here. Almost all are of Master/slave orientation as well as Leather. I have two slaves in my life right now. slave girl anne is a wonderful, spiritually aware woman in Prescott, AZ. she was collared in January 2006; a lifetime commitment. she brings joy and peace to my life as well as a playful and wise spirit. I am blessed to have her in my house. she serves me best by serving her leather community, sharing her experience of 20+ years. I am very proud of her and love her immensely. As I am the Warrior Priestess, she is the Shield Maiden. I have a another, very special person who is in and out of my life. we have known each other for a VERY long time. As I am the Warrior Priestess, he is the Ice Knight. slave jason, know that there is a place in my house for you. My offer still stands...when you are ready. |
