Fireworks going off until the wee hours of the morning…. Two little fur bundles huddled to each side of me quaking each time a new explosion erupted. At least the 4th fell on a week night this year.

I love the history of the holiday and I ADORE that we are an independent country, but some years it leads me to wonder if people have any care about the history of the holiday or even both anymore to ask WHAT they’re celebrating. To many, I fear, the 4th has just become “National Blow Things Up Day”.

I hope that everyone’s fur babies came through yesterday safe and sound and that things will quiet down finally…. Goodness, I sound crotchety don’t I?

My 4th was spent in the company of excellent friends with great food soaking in a Jacuzzi before enjoying an awesome piercing scene and an excellent foot rub. Mmmmmmmm…. *swoon* Truly a lovely day!

Don’t forget, this next week, I will be out of town the 11th – 13th on vacation. I won’t be available by phone or email while I am away so if you need to see me urgently, I suggest doing so before the 10th.

Oh! As another fun treat, take a moment to check out my new Life Coaching website: www.ChooseTheRoadLessTraveled.com Your Mistress has been a very busy lady and is now pleased to announce that she is a Certified Life Coach focusing on the specific needs and interests of the Kink, Leather and BDSM communities.

Don’t fret, I have no intention of hanging up my Domme boots; I simply saw a deep need for a coach who understood our special proclivities, and needs and could create a safe space for our community without judgement or bias.  

Take care!

Mistress Shae Flanigan
