Horse Breeds Native to South America
South America has a number of indigenous horse breeds. This is not surprising considering its size and the diversity of its climatic and geographic regions. However, all have Iberian backgrounds. The different regions of South America were geographically isolated and the wonderful qualities of the South American breeds were unknown to the general public for many years.
The first horses brought to the area came with Christopher Columbus and the conquistadores after the Spanish Revolution. Barbs, Spanish jennets and Andalusians feature in the pedigrees of most of the South American breeds. The Spanish jennet was a small horse which had, in addition to walk, trot and canter, an ambling gait which has since been inherited by some of the breeds.

information on equine care.
The Peruvian Paso and the Paso Fino are closely related having the same foundation stock ie Spanish jennet, Barb and Andalusian. Because of the differing climate and terrain, the two breeds have developed independently. Both are gaited horses but the gaits differ somewhat between the breeds.
Peruvian Paso
The Peruvian Paso stands between 14hh and 15.2hh and has a classy elegance. It is comfortable at high altitudes and copes well with low oxygen levels. It has an inborn ability to traverse shale slopes, deep water and steep inclines.
The Peruvian Paso ambles in a kind of broken 'pacing'. This is a four beat lateral gait – near hind, near fore, off hind, off fore. There are two variations: the first is the paso castellano (abbreviated to paso llano) where the beats are equal and the rhythm even. The other is the sobreandando which is faster. Breeders declare that 100% of Peruvian Pasos inherit these gaits and young foals will display these gaits perfectly as they move beside their mothers.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Peruvian_Paso5.jpg
Paso Fino
The Paso Fino has the same origins as the Peruvian Paso. The Paso Fino is somewhat smaller and finer than the Peruvian Paso. There are three main gaits - paso fino, paso corto and paso largo. The paso fino is a highly collected, elegant and rapid gait. At its best, the extremely rapid footfalls sound like a drum roll. Movement forward is at a very slow rate.
The paso corto is about the same speed as a trot but much smoother. It is ideal for those with bad backs or knees.
The paso largo is a fast, lateral, four-beat pace. Speeds equivalent to the canter can be reached. There is a distinct extension in stride. Speeds reaching 25 to 30 mph may be attained.
Good flexion of the hocks and great impulsion are necessary for the gaits to be performed properly.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Paso_Fino.jpg
The Argentinian Criollo is highly renowned for its stamina and hardiness. It is arguably the best endurance horse in the world after the Arabian and may even be a better mount over long distances and long time periods due to its low basal metabolism. It is well known for producing exceptional polo ponies when crossed with the thoroughbred. It shows its ancient origins in many individuals by its dun colour, complete with eel stripe and sometimes a stripe across the shoulders and zebra stripings on the legs. The Highland and Exmoor are other breeds which display these markings.
Chilean Horse
The Chilean horse is small with a maximum height of 14.2hh. Its main purpose today is as a rodeo horse. Chile's unique rodeo event involves two horses and riders pursuing a young heifer or steer round a semi-circular arena (medialuna) and attempting to pin it against a cushion on the wall of the arena. The event has been formalised from the days when vast herds of cattle were brought down from mountain grazing once a year and sorted into various categories.
The Chilean horse is strong and muscular but short, standing between 13.1hh and 14.2hh. It is South America's oldest registered horse breed and the oldest registered native American breed.Credit: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Caballochileno1.jpg
The Falabella horse lays claim to the title of being the smallest horse in the world. Surprisingly, for such a tiny horse, it has thoroughbred blood in its origins. The Falabella began when an Irish man named Patrick Newtall discovered some unusually small horses running with an Indian tribe's larger riding horses. Later thoroughbred, Shetland, Criollo and even Arabian blood was added. A good Falabella resembles a good thoroughbred. It should should not exceed 76cm in height. Most Falabellas are somewhat fragile. Falabellas breed true to type but inbreeding has resulted in a loss of vigour and a weak constitution. However, they do make lovely pets and can pull small vehicles.
Mangalarga Marchador
The Mangalarga Marchador is endemic to Brazil. It is also Brazil's National Horse and one of South America's most popular and widespread breeds. The breed is a gaited horse and has a single Alter Real stallion as its foundation sire although other Andalusian and Alter Real blood was added later. It is a good quality, finely built, riding horse used extensively for stock work. It has phenomenal stamina and an excellent temperament.
The South American breeds are fast gaining popularity throughout the world as their good qualities become better recognised.

Hi friends. I just got out of my first "long" retreat, twenty-six days of silence and meditation at Wat Ram Poeng in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is a daunting task to write about a 26-day retreat--probably harder than doing it. But just like a retreat (better: "intensive"), you just take it one moment at a time.
I suppose the Zennists among you will be curious about how this particular Theravada intensive differed from a Zen sesshin. I was curious too, but to me the similarities have resonated more loudly than the differences, giving me a comforting sense of continuity and still-belonging. It's easy to get caught up in difference when you're ensconced in your own community and looking at another one from afar. Differences in doctrine and metaphysics and rules and schedules and forms really seem important. But those are just the externals. The practice is so excruciatingly simple (Pay attention to the present moment), it remains the same across the board. So yeah, we bow a little differently in Thailand and chant in Pali instead of some novel Indo-Sino-Japanese amalgamation. We wear orange (or white in the case of lay meditators like me) instead of black (OITNB?), and we eat once or twice a day instead of more as in Zen. At the end of the day though (and at the pre-dawn beginning), monastic life is monastic life, and I think I'd acclimate more quickly to a Benedictine monastery than its opposite--say, Bangkok.
Wat Ram Poeng is a very convenient place for a foreigner to practice. You have almost no responsibilities whatsoever, except of course meeting the rather rigorous practice expectations! It's a noisy place with tons of Thai visitors and meditators, but their sounds were white noise to me. I just kept my head down and did my thing. The facilities were kind of jaw-dropping after the rustic places I'm used to. You get your own very spacious room (en suite) that comes equipped with a bed with a mattress and pillow (cf. Wat Suan Mokkh IDH) and even a fan. The meditation hall for foreigners is beautiful and fairly cool, and after a few days you can begin to hide away in your room. I basically spent three weeks alone in my room, and it was rad.
Anyway, here's the schedule. It's simple because we just meditate all day. No days off, no complications. Wan Phra, which occurs once a week, is a little different, but it only flubs the schedule for about 4 hours.
- Sleep 4 hours. You decide when. I slept from 10 pm to 2 am. Yes, okay, I'm trying to scare you. You start off with 6 hours a night and work your way down to 4 after the first week.
- 6:30 am: breakfast (Optional. Since it takes too long and it's only a few more hours until "lunch," I just have some caramel peanuts and soy milk from the little temple store.)
- 10:30 am: lunch (Also optional.)
- Half an hour or so of sweeping leaves around your excellent lodgings after meals
- Some time in the afternoon there is "reporting." This means a brief check-in with Ajahn Suphan or Ajahn Nawi. Reporting is quite different from both Zen dokusan/sanzen and California Zen practice discussion. It generally lasts for five minutes, maybe as long as ten or fifteen. One of the Ajahns asks how we're doing, how our meditation practice is going. The savvy among us would be brief and to the point, which was usually that there was a tremendous amount of "sloth and torpor" (one of the Five Hindrances), lots of thoughts (restlessness, another hindrance) some physical discomfort, and generally "not much happening." We get some very skillfully chosen, encouraging words, reminding us to stay with what is arising and passing in the moment, as it is, and to be compassionate and patient with ourselves.We're reminded that everything is impermanent that "the less sleep the better," and to meditate 12-14 per day. (Really, what else are you going to do with your time? No reading, no writing, and they've taken away your digitals.)
Thus passed twenty-six days, or so it seems. I can't really believe it happened. At times it seemed like forever, but by the time it was over it was like nothing happened. Four sesshins. Weird phenomena, sure, some--especially during Adhittana, "Determination." But for the most part, just your average four-sesshins-in-a-row.
Adhitthana: Maybe you've heard of this? I ran into a guy at Green Gulch a few years ago who mentioned it to me and I've been looking forward to it ever since.The long and short of it is that you don't sleep for three nights in a row. In fact you don't even leave your room. They bring you your food in rubber-banded plastic baggies in that charming Thai way. You just alternate sitting and walking for 72+ hours. Alas, I only made it 68 hours before collapsing on my floor and throwing in the towel. Why this practice of adhitthana? That was one of the many Dhamma questions I had throughout my month at Wat Ram Poeng, but it just never seemed appropriate to ask such a theoretical question. Besides, I think I already know the answer: Because it works.
I have a big bunch of thoughts. Despite my better judgment I broke edge and wrote them down in a cute little notebook. I thought this blog was going to be my "Disconnected Discourses," a big Dhamma barf. We really dodged that bullet! I've got plenty of material brewing though, so you can look forward to discussions of
- "Dual Track" Buddhism. Seems like the Buddha taught two separate paths, one leading to conventional happiness (lokiya magga) and the other leading to ultimate happiness (lokuttara magga). As much as I wish they didn't, these two paths often diverge. What to do? And how do you share the Dhamma--that is, which Dhamma do you share? With whom do you share which Dhamma? Cuz every time Dharma Lite is passed off as Dhamma, a would-be ariya-puggala turns away in disappointment and despair.
- Buddhist Zen. I finally dipped into Critical Buddhism a month or two ago. There are good arguments to be made that Mahayana and Japanese Buddhism especially are "not Buddhism." Mahayana metaphysics and methodology are very different from what the Buddha taught, and very often fly directly in the face of even the spirit of his teachings. I'm sorry, but it is so. Pick up a sutta, any sutta, and you will see this. However! As weird as Zen theory is, Zen praxis is solid. It works and I love it. So my little pet intellectual project is to code a version of Zen that's backwards-compatible with...Buddhism. Just for fun, you understand.
- Zen Priesthood and the social contract. All the good non-enlightenment roles of a priest, like, "A priest is a pillar that looks like a pillar so people know where to lean."
That's all for now. I'm gonna get some wisdom teeth yanked, go to Bangkok to extend my visa, and return to Wat Ram Poeng for another long retreat. Then, who knows? Probably do that until I realize my first spiritual goal, but may head over to Pa Auk first.
Okay loves. Thanks fer listening.

There are a number of things which ought to be considered when it comes to selecting the ideal cleaning services. A good number of the cleaning services out there will tend to offer their offer differently. It will be important to consider looking at the cleaning services in this case who are able to perform the ideal cleaning services that you may find. In other cases it may be that they do not use the strong detergents and therefore they are perfect for a living condition. You may come across the natural cleaning products which are not expensive but really do a good job. It will be necessary to consider a number of the given tips when it comes to choosing the best company to work with.
You have to understand more on the Residential Cleaning Los Angeles services that these companies are ready to offer to you. You will find that beside cleaning the floors there are a number of things which these services will be able to offer. Look at those who are able to offer window cleaning as well as the upholstery as well. It will be important to consider those that offer more than one service at a time. You will find that this will be quite important when it comes to saving you the money in this case which is key in ensuring that you get the best out there.
Look out for the kind of cleaners they use to do their work. There are some type of cleaners which can be harmful to the home users and even the pets. Ensure that the cleaners are safe to use and even good for the carpets and other fabrics in the house. You will need to avoid the use of the bleaches which are quite harmful in so many cases. You will find that the best in this case will be those that are able to embrace the environment and use the right products safe for it. You must ensure that the products seen out there are checked well to make sure that everything is done in the right way.
You will need to understand well what the cleaning needs are from the internet today. You will also find as the client they will be able to know how to approach the website which is a good thing to know.
Look for the company that has the best Kitchen Cleaning in Los Angeles reviews out there and also those that have testimonies on their walls. Avoid those that have any negative reviews made against them in this case. Always be sure that the product you use to provide the cleaning services will be able to provide the best thing possible.

It seems we have put behind the wintry blast of the several days ago, and are back to the jolly spring weather of May. This is good, because our house does not currently have heat beyond an electric radiator or two. And we'll be moving in two weeks from now.
We did buy this house to be our home, after all. And our current lease runs out on the 1st. The summer in Buffalo is a wonderful time, and a little camping out will be fun. Fortunately, the front two rooms of the first floor remain undemolished, so it's there we'll make our stand. Thinking of it as a pioneer-era cabin trapped inside an old barn makes the move into an American adventure. It also makes you think about what you really need to be reasonably comfortable. Protection from the weather, clean water, something to eat, somewhere to sleep, somewhere to sit, a good book or two. And someone to share it with.
These tight quarters present an interesting challenge in terms of furniture arrangement. Living well in small spaces has always been a fascinating art to me. Architecture and design in Tokyo or some of the denser European cities is, at its best, a no-wasted-space bonanza of shelves, hidden storage, and this-folds-into-that ingenuity. Well we're not doing any of that, but we can still look there for inspiration. Efficient living, on the cheap. Hand-me-downs have been critical here. For starters, we have the bed. A sleeper couch that has been in my family since the Flood now sits in front of the porch windows, allowing either a comfortable place to put guests while entertaining, or a much comfier sleeping option than the twin bed we currently share. Improvement already. Next there is the drop-leaf table my mother gifted us a few weeks ago. It has a formica top so, hey, no coasters. The leaves are dropped by a clever mechanism which I won't attempt to describe, but it does not require oaths to operate and that is dandy. Add a mismatched pair of dining table chairs and you have a place to read a book while eating a bowl of noodles. We also have a "portable kitchen", which is a cabinet on casters which holds a few dishes and such inside, and microwave (gift from friends) and toaster oven (Salvation Army) on top. Also, we have an electric kettle for hot water, a great find at the Salvation Army "As-Is" store on Military Rd. That place is full of diamonds in the rough. Add a set of shelves holding various dry food items and you have our parlor, the larger of our two rooms. The other room we call the office, and it holds the desk and filing cabinet, where the deed to the house and a copy of The Last Whole Earth Catalog are stored. It is the room under the stairs, and it also has a neat little closet under said stairs, so we even have a place to hang up a nice shirt.
And that's it for now, except for the temporary bathroom at the back of the house. But living at the house will certainly provide further motivation to fix windows, build a kitchen, build a better bathroom, paint the house, and on and on. Stay tuned.

Well as I posted a few days ago The chiari institue sent our mri's back with her medical records which I thought were useless to there facility. So I e-mailed them about this and they called my wife and yes they got the relevant information and said if we wanted another opinion to see Dr Bolognese. I e-mailed him cause I would think both him and TCI would diagnose tethered cord or any other issue related to the spine/brain the same or at least use the same methodology. Dr B wrote back and said he could probably help.
On The same note TCI informed my wife that he will be in his new office this friday.
Thursday, Heidi has an appointment to be checked for EDS or other connective tissue dissorders. Shes already been screened for a couple hours by a genetisist and now she sees a specialist in connective tissue dissorders. So hopfully things will start going in the right direction.
Take care

Marine LePen Campaign HQ Firebombed in Arson Attack
Paris – Marine LePen's presidential campaign headquarters were attacked early this morning in an arson attempt claimed by a leftist group calling itself ''Combat Xenophobia'', which is threatening more attacks between now and the French presidential election.
A unit of Paris' fire department extinguished the fire just before 3am on Rue de Faubourg St. Honoré, in Paris' 8th arrondissement. The building, also housing an insurance company and residential apartments, sustained only minor damage at the entrance to the campaign office.
A police spokesman said that the fire was ''not natural'' and ''probably of criminal origin''. Graffiti was also daubed on the building.
In a communication to the AFP (Agence France-Presse), the "Combat Xenophobia" group claimed they had used Molotov cocktails in the attack.
LePen criticized the government this morning for allowing extreme-left groups to act with ''total impunity'' and expressed her intention to make an official complaint, claiming that her party was not informed of the attack by the services of the state, having to learn about the event from the news media. Security requested at the office had been refused, she claimed, despite her party having been revealed as a prime target for extremists, specifically Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
France – although shifting politically – has been defined by the left since the 1968 student ''revolution'', and has an active and well organized extreme-left which frequently clashes with police and political opposition.
Some have made light of the event. When asked for comment on morning television on the attempted arson attack, a smiling Christine Poupin of anti-capitalist party, the NPA, stated that ''They [the Front National] should extinguish their cigarettes. They need to be more careful.''
LePen sent out a defiant tweet between scheduled television appearances this morning,
''Those who plan to intimidate us are badly mistaken. Nothing stops the French patriots! Our determination is total.''
Ceux qui pensent nous intimider se trompent lourdement : rien n'arrête les patriotes français ! Notre détermination est totale. MLP
— Marine Le Pen (@MLP_officiel) April 13, 2017
With only ten days to go until the first round of voting in France's presidential election, campaigning is at a frenetic pace with many voters still undecided.

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A practical examination includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye may be checked in several methods. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on exactly what is called the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in several ways. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain illness, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue might have other issues. Often other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the physician and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one faces a possible or momentary long-term loss of this crucial sense. Thus, when corrective steps are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with the fact that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to encourage decreased usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction. The only difference is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that individuals should know. Most likely, the primary reason that this kind of eye surgery has actually ended up being well accepted is since the majority of its cases had been effective.
In spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, most individuals say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a simple mistake could almost cause an person's life time blindness. It is important to think about many aspects before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best corrective measure one has to go through.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily suggest that it can give you a ideal vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of the clients might have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily mean they have ideal vision as well.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK might not always be the perfect eye surgery the way the majority of people view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous investigate this site ways. It should be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye issue may have other problems. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the physician and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

By Carol Ryczek, community relations manager, Shawano Medical Center
There's a saying that "what goes around, comes around."
When it comes to cash in the local economy, you can say that what goes around, comes around, goes around, and then comes around again. That multiplier effect is what makes new businesses, or expansion of old businesses, so important to a town.
The multiplier effect is what will make a $50 million project, like the new ThedaCare Medical Center-Shawano, and turn it into over $68 million in economic value by the time it is built and in operation for a year.
To get this number, economists start with the jobs created by the construction and the money that construction contractors, planners and employees spend locally. As of Sept. 29, the total dollars spent within the community was $646,000. That number keeps growing every month!
In addition to the construction dollars, ThedaCare Physicians-Shawano and Shawano Medical Center remain open, with their staff continuing to support local schools, cities and towns, and businesses.
The multipliers begin as soon as a dollar changes hands. Salaries generate taxes, interest on savings, money invested. For example, the dollars that a construction worker pours into a tank of gas will pay the salary of the person sitting at the register, who will use that money to take her family out for a fish fry. The added business allows the restaurant owner to add another cook and server. It's not long before an entrepreneur from a nearby town sees there is a need for more restaurants in Shawano, bringing in another new business.
By the time that first dollar comes around, it has generated $1.23—almost a quarter more than when it started. When hundreds of thousands of are involved, those additional quarters start to add up fast. But quarters don't just stack up —they roll, around and around the economy, starting the multiplier process all over again.

The stress of this week piled on me, one little thing at a time, drip, drip, drip...
I was a ball of raging hormones, exhaustion, and fatigue. Hadn't gotten to the gym. My to-do list seemed insurmountable. I hadn't taken my supplements, so I hadn't slept well at all. Finally, one evening – I forget when it even was, but it was before the holiday – I realized I hadn't checked in with Jason all day. I forget what happened, but life got in the way and our morning time together was cut short. I cleared the dinner table, and began to spiral like a madwoman.
We have a rule here that I'm to go to him when I feel overwhelmed, without delay. If he's not home then it needs to be a phone call or text. Well, he was home. My kids were all occupied doing various things, Jason was upstairs, and I was in the kitchen staring at piles of dishes feeling like it was all just a bit too much.
I knew I needed a spanking.
But I didn't want one. I picked up my phone and texted Maisy. I told her I hadn't done three or four of the things he expects me to do every single day, for a few days, and I hadn't told him.
She responded right away.
Oh, honey. You need to tell him. You need to tell him NOW.
That's when I started to cry, because I knew she was right. I knew I had to tell him. I knew he'd want to know. I knew also knew that he would spank me, and I needed it, but I didn't want one.
I said something like no, no, nooooooo. I can't!
I stood on the cusp of submission and shook my head no. No. It's too hard. I don't need his help. I don't want to lie over his lap. Spankings hurt. I don't want him to lecture me. I don't want to admit I've screwed up. No, no, no!
I knew I had to. I knew eventually I would. But in that moment? I had a bit of a babygirl fit and refused because submission is so damn hard. It's beautiful, and lovely, when this all works the way it's supposed to. It's freeing, sexy, and fulfilling. But sometimes it takes every bit of strength I have to actually do it. It's not just that getting spanked hurts. It's so much more – admitting that I need help. Admitting that I've somehow failed. Opening my mind and heart just one more time, into that deep, personal, sensitive place that makes me so utterly bare, so utterly vulnerable.
I hid, away from Jason and my kids, crying as quietly to myself as I could, so that no one would hear me, while Maisy, like the amazing friend she is, told me what I needed to hear.
The medicine you need to take is right there. It doesn't taste good, and you don't want to do it, but you have to. And when you do, you'll be all better.
She was right. And then I started feeling a little guilty, because all the other things, while important, pale into comparison to what I was doing at that very moment – holding myself apart from him, when it's his strong desire to comfort me when I'm hurting. He might be disappointed in me that I didn't do something I was supposed to on my to-do list. He might lecture. But holding myself apart from him, hiding my weakness, is not acceptable. It's hard, but it must happen.
Everything else leads to this.
So, sniffling like a little girl, I dragged my feet to the stairs, prepared for the sternness and spanking I was sure to receive. Prepared? Is that the right word? I don't know if I'm really ever quite prepared. But I felt at least that bit of courage I need to bring myself to him. Thankfully, he was alone. I went into our room, locked the door, and faced him.
"Can we talk?"
He put down what he was doing. It was then he saw the tears and how desperate I was, as he gestured for me to come and kneel. I knelt in front of him, put my cheek on his knee, and cried my eyes out. I don't even remember what I said, but it was something like, "I have messed everything up! I haven't done anything on my list. I haven't done my health rules, I keep forgetting my supplements, it's been days and I haven't even told you. I feel yucky and so tired..." and it went on and on while I cried.
He leaned down and, looking at me not sternly, not angrily, but with nothing but tenderness as he wiped away the tears. He said the last thing I expected him to say.
"You are so beautiful, and make me so proud."
Sniffling, holding onto him for dear life, on my knees submitted to him in a physical reminder to us both that he is in charge and I bring myself to him in surrender, I told him how I felt. "Proud? How can you be proud of me when I've messed things up and gotten so worked up like this?" And in my head, how can you say I'm beautiful when my hair is a wreck, my face an utter mess and tear-stained, my eyes half-dropping from exhaustion? I did not feel beautiful.
"Because look at you. Look at how hard you try." He pulled me to him fiercely, in a tight embrace that took my breath away as he held me. "You make me so very happy."
He released me and I stared up at him, the tears abating a bit. "I do, daddy?"
"So happy, baby. Now listen." He grew a bit more stern now, taking my chin between his thumb and forefinger like he does when I'm kneeling. I stared into his blue eyes and nodded, listening.
"You need a few things. You need a good spanking. You need me to take you to bed. And then you need a good night's sleep."
How could I argue with that?
"Are you going to punish me, daddy?" I asked. I wanted to know.
He shook his head. "I'm not punishing you, no. I'm going to bring you back to center, where you need to be. It's time for me to take control."
It was.
I needed that so badly. He knew it and I knew it, and just hearing him say it brought the lens back into focus, cleared the confusion and mayhem in my mind, and helped me just be.
He wrapped his hand around the back of my neck, tilting my head back, that gesture that is erotic but also says listen to me. This is important. I am in charge.
"I'm going to be home the next couple of days. When you need me, you will come to me. I'm going to help you with all that needs to be done. But you listen. Tonight, I'm not punishing you. But tomorrow? If any of these things fails to happen that I expect from you? You will find yourself over my knee. Do you understand?"
I needed that. I so needed that.
I nodded. "Yes, daddy. I do understand." He kissed me then, and sent me to go finish what had to be done for the evening while he got the littlest ones ready for bed. And that night, when the house was quiet, I went to him while he laid in bed waiting for me. He was stern, yet gentle, while he guided me over his lap and called me his little one. He stripped me, and spanked me, not harshly but very firmly, a long, slow spanking that bit by bit stripped away all that troubled me. That led to other utterly delicious things, and then he tucked me in.
Yes. This is why this works. I come to him at my most vulnerable, and he knows what I need. He takes control, and once I bring myself to the point where I freely give him control, it all happens the way it is meant to. It's not easy in the moment, and takes great strength to surrender. But it's worth it, oh so worth it.
Mind, body, and soul.
I've been doing a bit of reading lately, and thinking about the connection between mind, body, and soul. I think that a relationship built on a foundation of dominance and submission has the potential of being fulfilling because of the mind, body, soul connection. If it were just about spanking or sex, then only the body would be engaged. If it were just words or thoughts or theory, it would be just the mind engaging. But there's far more to it, when there's the submission from me and acceptance from him, on every level, my mind open to his, my body in utter surrender to his control, my very soul united with his, as we are one.
"I love you like this because I don't know any other way to love , except in this form in which I am not not are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine..." ~Pablo Neruda

"Get involved, try to be a part of it" is the message of record-breaking Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams to millions of Indians students and space enthusiasts.
Stressing that India has a great resource of people and talent, Williams, who is just back from her 127 days mission to the International Space Mission, said she can't imagine India taking a backseat in space programmes.
"You know, I hope so. I am short of had my head down for last mission for the last couple of years. So I haven't really been in the know about all the Indian space program and what it has been doing, but gosh we really hope so," Williams, 47, said when asked if India stands a chance in front of US and Russia to emerge as a leader in space research.
"India has a great resource of people and talent out there that I can't imagine, Indian taking a back seat. So, I am really hoping they will jump out there and be part of the space programme and be flying people in space before too long," Williams said.
Asked why would her message to fans in India, she said, " I think the message that I would like to give to folks in India about the International Space Station is get involved".
She added, "We have experiments up there from all over the world, not only the international partners that participated in building the space station, but all over the world... universities, schools, we talk to kids all over the place. Get involved, try to be part of it, open up new doors and new opportunities".
Williams has spent a total of 322 days in space during her two long-duration missions.
That makes her the second most experienced female astronaut in history, behind NASA's Peggy Whitson (who spent 377 days in space during two station flights).
Williams now also holds the record for spacewalking time for female astronauts.
