As I'm reflecting on my last tour, something came to me. Not just a thought, an undeniable deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation for all the gentlemen that have blessed me with their patronage. I'm very fortunate to have met so many wonderful gentlemen in this hobby. It doesn't matter if it's a short meeting, a night out or anything in between. It's so humbling to know that out of all the ladies that are available, I was chosen as the companion he would like to see. All I can say is thank you as the feeling of appreciation over that is big.
When I see someone all I expect is my rate. He is not a dollar sign or someone to get more out of. He is a gentleman who I'm seeing in his highest light and we're together for a mutually enjoyable and memorable experience. I prefer the rate to just be left somewhere for me to pick up later. I like to feel as if I'm on a date rather than a transactional robotic meeting. I'm spending time with a gentleman and prefer to treat and see him as one. Lately I've received many gifts, some through e mail, others through my Throne account. (http://www.throne.com/beccablossoms) and many in person. Some gentlemen that sent them haven't even seen me yet!
I have always been against "wish lists" and the like. I'm grateful for my rate which I feel is fair. As a single woman, I get just as much enjoyment and satisfaction out of our rendezvou as he does. It's a mutual experience that satisfies both our needs (beyond the transaction). I don't walk away from any meeting thinking how I can get more out of him or hoping he gives me more. The first thing I do is say "Thank You". I thank him, thank the forces that brought us together and thank myself for spending time with him. I carry that feeling of gratitude with me for a while. When I'm given gifts, it's just the icing on the cake. The feeling of gratitude gets stronger and sometimes I get tears in my eyes...someone who owes me nothing actually thought to go out of their way and spend more money and time on me all out of their own accord. How humbling it is to know that someone thought enough of me to do more than expected.
Gifts aren't the only thing I'm grateful for. I've had some wonderful experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise. I'm not referring to all the wonderful conversations here, I'll get to those in a bit. I've eaten at restaurants that I would have not visited on my own. I love food and I've been treated to some amazing food! The other side of the food blessings is a few gentlemen acturally cooked for me! Let me tell you, there's some culinary talent in this hobby! I've been to many formal events, I was trusted to dress and act approiately among his collgues. That's a lot of trust! Of course I delivered and had wonderful experiences for it! Thank you! I've experienced museums, theatre, concerts, cities, nature spaces, historic places, odd but very cool places, etc. The places I've gone are amazing and rememered with appreciation.
What I've learned through conversation is amazing. I've been blessed to see a plorethra of intelligent gentlemen who were generous with their knowledge. I love going home after meeting and researching what he opened my mind to. I've learned so much and that, as far as I'm concerned, is priceless. Knowledge grow us, opens our minds and expands us as humans. The more I know the better I do, the more accepting I am and the more I realize how much I don't know. It's a never ending cycle of curosity, expantion and wonder. I love it! The exchange of thought and wisdom turnes me on! Thank you!
A blessiing I've appreciated from the beginning is the relationships that are developed. It wasn't until I took a 4.5 year hiatus that I realized how much I missed my hobby relationships. These aren't relationships that would occur in my personal life as I keep a very thick line drawn between the hobby and my personal life. The relationships that are created are a blessing to me. It's really cool to see my hobby friends grow, change, learn and get through hard times. I enjoy getting to know what others like and don't like as this spills over into our more intimate moments. They get to know me too and the synergy between us grows creating some unforgettable secret memoires. Listening to him helps me cater to him more, giving us both an all around desirable experience.
It doesn't matter if I see someone for a short period of time or a lengthy visit, there is so much to be appreciated in this hobby. I'm humbled, flattered and full of gradidtude. It makes me want to be a better person myself as well see others in their highest lighat and treat them just as well.
With a heart filled with gradidtude,
