Above all else, I cherish My slave, in the knowledge that the gift I give him is the greatest gift of all.

I am strict and take full advantage of the power given to me, but I also know how to share the pleasure that comes from that precious gift.

I am in control of myself first and foremost, so that I may control others. As a stern and demanding Mistress, I can cause my slave real tears!

As a merciful Mistress, I will dry these tears away without stepping out of role!

In times of trouble, a Mistress is a supportive partner and friend, never forgetting that this is a trust relationship between two caring individuals.

I am quick to understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

I will never ask my slave to put me before his career or family just to satisfy my own pleasure!

To win my slaves' minds, bodies, and souls, I must first earn their trust. I will show my slave humor, kindness, and warmth.

I must always show my slave that my guidance and tutoring are knowledgeable, deserving of his attention, that this is a woman he can learn from and he can trust My decisions.

When the time comes to teach my slave his lesson in obedience, I am a strong and unyielding professor. I will accept nothing less than perfection from my student!

Never do I use a discipline without a good reason. When I do it’s always with a careful and knowledgeable hand.

I am always open to communication and discussion, always ready to hear your wants and needs. I am patient, taking the time to learn your limits and knowing that as the trust for me grows, so will they.

I never have to demand a ritual behavior. You respond to me as you want to please me. Compliance from wanting to please, not the fear of punishment!

I understand the fragile nature of your mind, body, and soul, and never violate that trust given to me.

I am confident enough to laugh about the absurdities of life. Open-minded enough to learn new things. Strong enough to grow!

My tools are mind, body, soul, and spirit. I understand that you gain from pleasing me. And I know that trust is the only binding that truly holds!
