John has me follow a few rules in our lives to help me keep my focus on service and obedience. They have developed over time and usually were stumbled upon as needed. As a submissive I need order in my life or I begin to feel a bit lost, so these rules were created for both of our benefits. Lately since my thoughts have been focused on obedience and how to sustain the appropriate level of mindset, I thought I would write these out. Plus I thought this would be a good insight to our lives, and the way John holds his control over me. I will love, honor, obey, and cherish my Master. Wearing his collar is an honor and I do so with my pride. It is a symbol of my Master's ownership of me and will be treated carefully, taken off only to bathe. I surrender to him seeking his love, dominance, and protection... and will never feel guilty for craving these things in abundance. I will let no one interfere with my surrender. I will dress as I desire remembering Master's preferences and will always carry myself according to his wishes. I shall not swear and try to think before I say anything. I am my Master's lady, and will always carry myself accordingly so. I will always ask, and never tell. I shall never speak in disrespect to my Master and will remember to curb my tone. Outright disobedience will not go unnoticed and will be seen to in any way my Master deems appropriate. I will openly communicate and never close myself off from my Owner. I will strive to overcome all feelings of guilt or shame that may interfere with my capabilities to serve my Master. When I am well enough, I will perform daily stretching and exercising with a simple focus in mind, my service to my Master in the physical form of beauty and grace. I will keep a journal as often as possible, surrendering even my inner thoughts to my Master.     .
