For a while, I thought I should write a regular blog to keep an historical record of My contributions to The Fetish Revolution.  So, I am happy to announce that My First Blog Entry in The Mistress Didi*s Musings is about how proud I am to be an American due to the amazing, landslide election of Barack Obama as President of The United States of America!

I will not apologize to anyone who is uncomfortable with the fact that for the first time in My life, I am proud to be an American because I didn't think that the people of this country were evolved enough to vote past their prejudices - as I've experienced them My entire life.  (The problem with most people is that they believe that everyone has similar experiences to their lives.  For example, as I was having an annoying conversation with a random idiot in the subway, We passed a homeless man sleeping on the ground.  This idiot wanted to argue with Me that everyone can afford $10 for a metrocard.   To maintain his belief in his "rightness", he completely refused to see that destitute man laying on the ground.  I took care of the situation by telling him the answers to the questions I asked about his life in the asking of them, which he could not refute, beginning with the fact that obviously, he had never gone a day without food.  Fortunately, I was in a good mood and helped him to recognize that he should spend his time giving thanks for his good fortune instead of casting negative judgments on others based on his extremely limited experience of misfortune.  I even gave him a hug to congratulate him in expanding his awareness.  You should have seen the smile on his face!)

I have renewed hope and faith in the American people and in the world, which is celebrating Obama's victory on grander scales than We are in Our own country!  (Note: These photos seem to change daily.)  It has been wonderful to see people all over the world waving The American Flag instead of burning it!  (Photo Note: This woman is just fabulously dressed and this is a great photo which deserved to be in this Newsletter!  Notice the symmetry of color, light, and the trees on her dress and in the reflection in the glass, and the flower emblems on her bag and again behind her near the bark of the tree at its base and above the newspaper.  AP Photo/Katsumi Kasahara)

I have refrained from political commentary up until now because I believe that everyone has the right to their opinions.  But opinions should be formed from research, intelligent dialogue, and the ability to be flexible in one's thinking.  I find very few people are capable of this approach because they are afraid that if they change their opinions, that in some way they are wrong.  That's very limited, completely unfounded, and just downright stupid.

Even while refraining from political discussions to the best of My ability, the sad thing (although it is truly a great blessing for Me) is that a few people who have known Me for many years showed their "true colors", so to speak.  Can you believe that someone would wake Me up on election day to say, "Didi, I know You're Black, but here is why you should vote for McCain..."?  And to add further insult, their reasons were all the lies about Obama's religion and "terrorist" affiliations (which was all sarah palin seemed to have to offer in any speech she gave - and to say, "maverick").  I asked each of them, and not one of these morons bothered to visit Obama's website to read anything about his economic plan, his foreign relations policies, or anything else that caused intelligent and thinking Americans to vote Obama into office by a HUGE landslide. 

What's pathetic about these stupid people is that they actually believe that they were right and wanted to "save" Me somehow.  What they didn't realize - but I assure you that I made them aware of - is that not only is it offensive to assume that I would only vote for Obama just because he is Black (or Hillary Clinton because she is a woman), but the way they approached Me was as if they believed that I would "see reason" because they consider Me one of the "good ones".  No matter what and how they believed they cared for Me, their racist ignorance "colors" their perceptions.  They never saw Me for the person I am; they only saw what I could represent to their own selfish desires to believe that they are not racists. 

Normally, I would have shred their souls and left them quivering, emotional messes.  But I chose to give them the opportunity to grow.  I explained how they insulted Me and everything I ever meant to them and everything they ever meant to Me.  Then, I told them why they are "the ugly American"; because all they are concerned with is "their taxes" and "their rights" (even though they infringe on the majority of the population) and they believe that concepts that hint of "socialism" are a threat to "their way of life" -- and, of course, they've never bothered to research the concepts of socialism.   No, like that annoying elisabeth hasselbeck on The View, they stop at what is comfortable for them to believe makes them right and any kind of change wrong, and they chant whatever lies the GOP throws at them, no matter how much evidence to the contrary they are given.  (Find a history of various applications of neo-socialist doctrines on Wikipedia, where, in general, there is a good overview of socialistic philosophies in action with human error.  There are no societies that conform to the pure models of capitalism, communism, or socialism as detailed by their founders, and, therefore, most of the critiques readily found on the internet are biased by using the philosophical models to prove that socialism doesn't work.  Also, keep in mind that the authors of these articles are biased by their personal desires to believe that they live in "pure" capitalistic societies.)

Well, it is "their way of life" that has The United States of America in economic strife, unjust wars, hated and the target of terrorism more than ever before, more people losing their homes and jobs, and the entire host of ills caused by the "trickle-down theory" that never existed.  But they can't see that because they stop their awareness at their bank accounts, their taxes, their new cars, their vacation properties, their religious beliefs against abortion and gay rights, and that YOU should adopt a child whose MOTHER cannot afford to care for - while they have adopted NONE.

The best thing from this incredible election is that America has evolved and truly is the country where the greatest opportunities exist in truth.  I am revitalized with a sense of hope I have not felt in nearly 10 years.  I believe that things will get better globally because for the first time, the vast majority of the world wants to work with The United States of America because We have a President who will communicate instead of attempt to intimidate.

A Side Note:  I wrote to Obama twice via his website to congratulate him and Joe Biden and I asked him to adopt a puppy for The White House.  The Obama family is way ahead of Me!  Obama said he wanted to adopt a mutt like him, but that Malia has allergies.  So, I wrote back and suggested they connect with a poodle, Maltese, or another dog with HAIR from a breed-specialty rescue service.  I received 3 lovely emails - interestingly tailored to My concerns.  This shows that the people supporting Obama are paying attention and are still available after the campaigning is over!

As for John McCain, I wrote to him via his website to say that he redeemed himself in My eyes with his amazing concession speech which exhibited the honor and integrity that I had come to know him for and wondered what the hell happened to during his campaign.  It is a horrible shame that his own supporters disrespected him in front of the entire world while he was showing his greatness of character.  That shows the characters of his supporters, but most of the world already knew this.  I expressed My support for him being the "maverick" he has always been by crossing party lines and working for what is right for the American people, which gained My respect for him in the first place.  I also expressed My support for him continuing to be a great man in American history and to contribute to the new administration's effectiveness.  I haven't received any emails, not even the generic, "your email has been received..."  Some supporters, hmm? 

It is so nice to have hope again - and on a global scale!  I was convinced that people are sh♫t (please pardon the expression) and the people of My country have shown that We are truly good people, willing to change and try to make this world a better place! 

Now, I'm hoping that 2012 is not the end of the world...

It seems that I have created a monster.  My intention was to promote Fetish parties that had the civil vibe that I appreciate where people have respect for protocols and training in technique. 

What has happened is that folks who attend these parties come over to Me with their complaints about the parties - usually that the music is too loud.  Now, I realize that people feel free to be honest with Me because I have established Myself as the kind of Hostess Who wants to ensure the comfort of My guests.  

Let Me make this perfectly clear: just because I've listed a party in My Newsletter does not mean that I have anything to do with the event.  I only intend to attend it.

What must happen now is that the promoters of these events understand that I have complained about the music being too loud on more than one occasion and I have a 3-strikes-I'm-outta-here rule.  I do not enjoy screaming into the ear of the person standing right next to Me and they still cannot hear Me.  I do not enjoy having a ringing in My ears when I leave the event.  I do not enjoy having a sore throat the next morning from yelling.  I do not enjoy being unable to hear the sounds of Play, e.g., the lashing sounds of floggers and single-tails and the gasps from the recipients as Toys land on their flesh. 

I am a pleasure-seeker and attend parties to enjoy Myself.  If the event causes Me displeasure, there is no point to it.  I could stay home and Play.

So, if I attend one more event and the music is too loud, I am not going to say a word.  I am going to leave, you will not see Me at another of these events, and I will not promote the parties in My Newsletter again.

~ Puppies Behind Bars.  Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) instructs prison inmates on how to raise and train puppies who become service dogs for people with disabilities and bomb detection canines for law enforcement.  Many of these puppies are being placed with veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.  Currently, the Puppies Behind Bars program is active in seven prisons in NY, NJ and CT.  The dogs are free guests of the correctional facility, but the program is a registered charity and support is always welcome.  The guards and the administrators welcome them because they have noticed the positive effect that the PBB program and the puppies haves had on inmates.  Inmates go through a very comprehensive and intensive training program in order to work with these dogs.  View videos about the program and learn more how you can help the Puppies Behind Bars thrive HERE ~ sponsor a service dog today!   Read a great article about the lives of the dogs and inmates HERE.

   OK, here's something you don't know about Me: I have trained service dogs for people with Differing Abilities for many years (in fact, My Sami is a Certified Service and Therapy Dog), so this particular charity is very special to Me.  Several segments of society benefit and this program creates REAL rehabilitation for inmates to give back to society.  Learn more about service animals here.

~ The Rescue Sites.  The GreaterGood Network of websites, owned and operated by CharityUSA.com, LLC., is a family of online activism sites that harness the power of the Internet to help people, animals, and causes in need.  These websites bring together communities that care, giving you the power to make a difference in the world with simple, every day actions. You can benefit leading nonprofit organizations by choosing from a range of activities including clicking on the free contribution button daily, and shopping for gifts, apparel, jewelry, and home décor in their do-good stores to give even more funding.  Included are The Hunger Site, The Animal Rescue Site, The Literacy Site, The Child Health Site, The Rainforest Site, The Breast Cancer Site, and other worthy causes.  Please click once per day on each.

~ Homeless Gear.  The mission of Homeless Gear is a simple one. Collect unwanted outdoor gear (packs, sleeping bags, etc) and re-distribute these items to the homeless. Homeless Gear intends to find a home for all unwanted outdoor gear and make the outdoors a little more like home for those without permanent shelter.  A segment of the homeless community can not gain entrance into overnight shelters because they have issues with drug or alcohol use. Even if they do find overnight shelter they have to spend the majority of their day outside in the elements. Imagine what a sleeping bag would do for someone forced to sleep or spend the day in their car or under a bridge.

~ FreeRice is a great way to contribute to the world hunger problem while enhancing your vocabulary.  So, it is not only good for you, it is great for your kids.  For each word that you correctly know the meaning of, several grains of rice are placed in a virtual bowl.  When the bowl is full, you continue to create another bowl.  The bowls of rice you create are donated to starving nations.  The site keeps track of your best score and stays challenging with a wide variety of words.  So, feed the hungry every day with FreeRice.  I contribute at least 1000 grains every day.  Go for it!

I REALLY dislike SPAM, but worse, I dislike when My emails go into Y/your spam folder because people did not follow the easy instructions to make sure that Y/you receive My Emails.

So, here's a tip for easy viewing of Y/your spam folder: alphabetize the FROM column.  Y/you should be able to click on the small toolbar above your emails that lists who the emails are from, the subject, etc.  If Y/you click on the FROM tab, your emails should sort alphabetically.  The same goes for navigating your emails by clicking on the Date, Subject and other tabs to sort them for easy reading.  This little tip will save Y/you a lot of time and aggravation.

And be certain to CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER every day!

Stimulating Quotes

"We do what we have to do so we can do what we want to do."
~ from "THE GREAT DEBATERS"
(GREAT movie!)

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
~ President Elect Barack Obama

"Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."
~ President Elect Barack Obama

"We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent...  We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don't want to work hard to accomplish these things.
Everyone should try to realize their full potential. "
~  President Elect Barack Obama
