Well, chastitybelt, it's too bad you are not in Texas because we could certainly help you meet many different folks who could mentor you. We have had mentors in our past, but it was never 'official', we simply watched people we met. When we observed someone over time that we admired and felt really exemplified what we wanted to be, we watched closer, we began to make friends with them and slowly build up a close relationship. We asked questions in a respectful way, we listened, we observed them in action - whether it was some form of play or just how they treated people. Over time we in turn built good reputation in our community. It would be difficult to really mentor someone via the web, there are so many things that just need to be face to face. Argent and I have only been openly active in "the scene" for about 10 years now and there is much yet that we will learn (need to learn, want to learn). Fortunately we have a wonderful group of friends/mentors and we continue to grow. If you could take a nice vacation maybe you could come visit a place where you could observe real Ds people living wiitwd everyday - real, graceous, well mannered, polite folks who show respect to others and learn to listen when they ask a question so they can hear the answers. I know you could learn a lot. One big thing I learned , well not even in the Ds community but in life - you actually do reap what you sow. Sincerely, MsOpal
