Your girl writes to you today as she reflects on her past year’s service to you. She thanks you for keeping her, for allowing her at your feet – the place she is happiest of all. There are so many things she is grateful for in your collar…she offers a few thoughts to you and hopes you find her words pleasing.

Your girl cherishes the time we share, my Master. Many things have kept you away from your girl this year. She knows there were occasions when it was difficult for you to be with her, but you somehow knew when she needed you most, be it emotionally, spiritually…and you managed to find a way to care well for your property. She values each precious moment with you, Master, and strives to make you happy and comfortable.

You taught her focus, my Master. She was a bit lost before she discovered this place. She is lost no longer, she knows you own her, resonating deep in her heart and soul. You gave her a purpose, more than just serving you when you are here. It lingers throughout the day and night, reminding her that she serves you in all she does, even when we are not together. She cannot thank you enough for giving her purpose and focus.

Master, you gave her confidence. She cannot thank you enough for believing in her ability to learn, and to tackle projects which intimidate her. You allow her to stretch and grow in so many ways. As each challenge is met, you do not let your girl coast on her past success, but expect her to continue to strive to produce work of equal or higher value.

Your girl is grateful, Master that you allow her to reach out to friends. At times, there is a need deep inside for friends who are peers, who understand your girl's turmoils or doubts, who help keep her focused and on the right path, or simply wish to share in her joy. They provide her with inspiration and motivation when she feels she is struggling, and it is a wonderful feeling to see them find happiness and grow in their own journey. Thank you, Master, for allowing her to cultivate friendships which are supportive and rewarding.

You allow her to express her feelings and ideas. Knowing we come from such vastly different backgrounds, she is grateful that you find her opinions of worth and her thoughts on a subject have merit. You also taught her the difference in knowing when and how to share her feelings and opinions, and that is a lesson she will always treasure.

Thank you for finding her of value and for encouraging her development and for guiding her to areas of growth that will please you. For making her try new things, for exploring with her……for exploring her! *grins*

You have given this girl rules and guidelines for behavior which will please you. This girl is grateful that you will accept no less from her than to be obedient and pleasing within the spectrum of these policies and of your rules. You hold your girl accountable, you accept no excuses, and are consistent in your corrections, so that this girl may continue to learn. You are steadfast in your expectations that a girl belonging to you be obedient and pleasing and she promises to strive her hardest to be what you wish her to be. Thank you, Master.

Your girl is so appreciative of the punishments you grant by your own hand. Knowing her as you do, you know darn well how her heart and belly ache when she thinks she has displeased you. There are the times you allow us discussion so that she understands the purpose for your demands. She thanks you for your decisions to explain to her and to allow her to reflect on her behavior. Then there are the times when you punish her with no discussion at all. Those lessons, too, are learned quickly as she desperately wants to get back in your good graces. Thank you, my Master for teaching her how she can better serve you.

Words cannot express the feeling when you allow her at your feet when she knows there are hundreds of other girls who would love to be there. She never doubts for an instant that her position there is a gift from you. You make it clear to her that you expect certain things from her and she knows that if she does not meet those requirements, another girl will. She thanks you for never allowing her to get lazy or to take you for granted, or get secure enough to slack off in her service to you. She aches so to please you, Master…..always and forever to please you.

Above all else, Master, thank you for being the man you are, and bringing out the slave in me.
