My Bitchy Times (Why I Gotta Be a BITCH)

September 7, 2012

Q: Dear Mistress Didi*,

I truly enjoyed Your Domina101™ Workshop and am looking forward to taking the next one. I know You said that this is a process of growth and evolution, but my particular problem is causing me to lose sleep. [PERSONAL INFO OMITTED]. Don’t You ever just want to punch these bitches? How do You keep from having to be a bitch? Please tell me something to help me deal with this situation!!!! Thank You, Ms. FD

Dear Ms. FD,

Your question comes to Me at the perfect time! Of course, I have what I call, “My Bitchy Times” and I have them on a regular basis when dealing with all of these pathetic-jealous-zealots out here who have nothing of value to offer to The Whole, so they desperately try to bring those of Us who ARE doing fabulous things down.

As I stated in the Domina101™ Workshops:

Consider The Source of your aggravation
Remember Your Value
Find a use for the offender and its offenses – it truly helps with Forgiveness. Remember, Forgiveness is first and foremost for yourself.

Below is a perfect example of an offensive situation that has resurfaced because a cowardly-loser dared to use Me and Mine in order to have some kind of value for her fantasy blog. So, since her actions show up in search engine results for MY Work, I MAKE USE OF her.

Do understand that I give Myself permission to have My Bitchy Times and, most importantly, to enjoy them! I OWN My Karma significantly better than the offenders can recognize theirs. In other words, as I also present in My Domina101™ Workshops, I do My best to carefully think before I act to ensure that I have no regrets for what I choose to do. Self-Control is THE only real control. I choose Who I Am and truly encourage others to spend more time working on themselves instead of attempting to disrupt My Fabulous Flow so that they can love and like themselves the way that I love and like Myself.

Notice My “Mirror” comment below. The “h8ters” will (in typical, lazy form) jump on the “oh-how-conceited-bandwagon” while those of Us who ARE doing Our jobs to make Our lives (and the lives of others We encounter) joyous and fulfilling will recognize and revel in the Power of what I offer.

You can click here to be alerted of My Next Workshops.

Read all that I’ve provided here and in The Domina101™ Workshop Notes. You ARE evolving for YOUR best; you ARE handling and creating your reality. All that you are going through is just a test you give yourself to see if you are truly committed to your happiness.

I completely support you.

And, for the record, I’m not a bitch; I’m a B.I.T.C.H. = Being In Total Control of Herself (see My BITCH entry). And I don’t care if others – especially those who do NOTHING for Me – think I’m bitchy when I’m taking care of My Domain and MySelf.

Always MY Pleasure,
Mss Didi*

Q: Dear Mistress Didi*,

While searching for Your Superior submissive™ Workshop, i found this blog entry and wanted to make You aware of it. i hope i have been of service to You, sub g

My Dear sub g,

Thank you so much for pointing out this creature’s use of My fabulousness to draw attention to her pathetic, little blog. I have addressed her insolence before and – as I predicted – it removed My comments from its blog.

So, since attention for My Work is being drawn to all it lacks, I do the public service of posting the original dialogue below to demonstrate the full effect of how a substandard diminishes the reputation of its “dominant.”

Following that is My most recent post with the bet I made with some of My Domina101™ Divas about what this sad creature will do next. I will post her response, if any, just to keep a record of My skill-based, amusements in action:

UPDATE 2016: I’ve chosen to remove this example since (i) the death of this pathetic creature makes the world a better place and (ii) so that her soul may reincarnate in an acceptable form.

The 4 I’s (& Flopped Friendships)

August 5, 2011

Dear Mistress Didi*,

[NOTE: Communication altered for privacy concerns.] I am dismayed by a friendship that has gone sour. It seems that everything was fine while I was out of work and depressed. As soon as I got my dream job, [name]’s attitude completely reversed from dear friend to enemy and I have no idea what happened! I am so happy that You observed this situation and I thank You for Your advice.

~ flustered

Dear flustered,

My friend, who is known as Knight of Halos, offered this Pearl of Wisdom:

When We exhibit Self-Esteem, Confidence, and Conscience, those who have what I call a “lack of self” (they lack self-love, self-awareness, self-value, etc.) meet you with the “4 I’s”:

Idiosyncracies, Inadequacies, Insecurities and other behaviors demonstrating their Inferiority Complex – masked by Narcissism.

Here’s an example of what that looks like:

Have you ever experienced a person who, when he recognizes that you are talented in some way, begins to nit-pick at every-and-anything you do (inadequacy)? Then, everything becomes your fault – the reason the sun isn’t shining today is somehow your doing.

He begins to do little things to invalidate you, such as withhold acknowledgement and/or affection (idiosyncracy). This behavior further devolves with accusations that you are trying to sabotage his sense of well-being and belittle him, usually with a focus on what he perceives as his accomplishments (insecurity) – until he accuses you of what he actually believes about himself – e.g., the bottom line: you think he is a loser.

Inevitably, and in just a matter of time, he must belittle you with concepts of how you are not good enough to be with him (this is a sign of narcissism in one of its forms that is contrary to popular understanding). YOU must be the problem that he does not feel as fabulous as he lies to himself that he is. It is easier to blame you for his recognition of his lacking than it is to actually do the work to improve himself to reach his personal goals (cowardice). All of these behaviors are classic demonstrations of an inferiority complex. We see this sad condition in all areas of the world, in all walks of life, in just about every situation We deal with.

This is why it is so important to Remember Your Value. Too many times, people We love and trust choose to operate from FEAR (False Experiences Appearing Real) at any cost. They fear that:

1) Your talent, skills, etc. reflect the worst that they believe about themselves to be true;

2) Since they are too lazy and cowardly to work on their “stuff”, they must blame the person who is living her success and happiness for their failures. This is usually accomplished by their creation of an offense committed against them by you; and

3) In this way, they can remain in their comfort zones of mediocrity, surrounded by so many other lazy cowards who will jump on their bandwagon against you to support their own inadequacies.

You can become a casualty of their wars with themselves if you do not protect yourself and maintain your focus. It’s fine to understand their emotional difficulties, but it is unacceptable to permit their lack of self to destroy your sense of self.

This is why Forgiveness is such an invaluable tool. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or saying, “what you did is OK with me.” (In fact, you should never forget; you should learn from the lesson. The offense was not OK with you; but you can use the experience to learn to choose how you will handle such situations from now on and how you will set boundaries.)

Forgiveness is about making peace with your actions and emotions concerning the person’s offenses to you. Holding onto resentment will only foster “dis-ease” and make you ill. You forgive the other person in order to move on to the next level of your development because you cannot change another person. The only person or things you can change in your life begin and end with you (how you choose to handle situations). Everything else is an agreement.

Tips To Remember Your Value

July 12, 2011

Dear Mistress Didi*,

I have recently become collared by my Master and his ex is always making me see red. I try very hard to ignore her and to follow Master’s orders, but she always makes me get upset and Master has had to reprimand me several times. I know that she is trying to sabotage our relationship and I don’t want to be dismissed. What can I do?

~ worried

Dear worried,

Especially now, as the energies are aligning for Us to become the best We can be, it is paramount to take stock and value yourself!

Who knew that when I wrote My blog post, End of A Love Affair and the “gruesomes” that I would receive over 50 emails of thanks to date and they keep coming! I will tell the truth and say that My post was a warning to creatures I find offensive in every way to mind their own business and keep their noses out of Mine. However, as always, I endeavor to come from the Highest Place of Love and Consideration that I can present and in this way, I touched the hearts of many people to help them transition to a place of peace with relationship… stuff…

These dialogs all seem to resolve to the same place: the lack of recognition of one’s own worth because value is placed on someone else. Reality Check: 1) no one can love you if you do not love yourself and 2) you cannot love someone who does not love himself – he won’t let you and will torture you for trying (it’s the nature of the self-loathing).

Fortunately for Us all, I believe that to be of service is the highest goodand that’s not just for The Fetish Lifestyle. Many people don’t bother to actually read My website to be aware of My therapeutic credentials which are listed in My bio. And everything in My Bio is True. So, I’ve presented below a segment of some advice I gave in response to a letter from a fabulous person to remind Us all to remember to Value Your Truth. These tips are beneficial for a variety of situations in Our lives, not just for relationships of the heart.

Tips To Remember Your Value

… When a relationship ends, We tend to over-complicate things and over-analyze every thought and emotion We have. What you need to remember is that you don’t have to make yourself miserable when a situation doesn’t work the way you “expected” it to. Here are some tips for getting over “the blues” (whatever their source):

1) The question to ask first and foremost is, “How does what I’m doing right now serve Me?” Seriously, does sitting around sulking about a soured relationship actually do anything constructive for your happiness? Here’s where discipline is key:you can choose to be better. Develop skills and habits to support you Being Better.

2) Self-Assessment. Make a list of (1) the qualities that you like about yourself – list no less than 10; (2) things you know that you are good at doing; (3) skills/talents that you have; (4) things that other people you respect appreciate about you; and (5) prove each of the things on your list with real-life situations that you have done/are doing. Read this list daily to boost your positive and powerful energies and to render criticism (especially ugly-break-up accusations) useless and unfounded.

3) NEVER compare yourself to anyone else in her/his life. Seriously, why should you care? Why want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with you? If someone compares you to a person in their past, they have not moved on from their “drama” and cannot fully be committed to you. If they compare you to a new lover, defuse their abuse by saying, “Sounds like you deserve each other. Good luck,” and get away from them. Choose to have a better-for-you situation all the way around.

4) Identify how the PERSON differs from the IDEAL you hold/held of her/him. Every time you begin torturing yourself with false visions of how you want to believe s/he is, remember how s/he REALLY is and notice how HUGE the difference is. Most often, you will see that warning signs occurred in the relationship but Our commitment to Our fantasy ideals set Us up for a“predictable disappointment.” Next time, We can choose to commit to paying attention to the signs in order to make healthy relationship choices along the way.

5) Don’t play the “make-wrong-game” on yourself or the other person. The reason you feel that the situation was “wrong” was because it did not meet your expectations. The make-wrong-game fosters negative, toxic energy that turns in on yourself. Your time could be better used on forgiveness and loving yourself more so that you will attract the person who can love you the way you want to be loved and who will deserve to love you.

6) Forgiveness. When you break it down the to lowest level, you are forgiving yourself and the other(s) for NOT showing up to fit your expectations and/or fantasies.

7) Repeat often: “It could NOT have been any other way than the way it was.” Wasting time on what coulda-woulda-shoulda-been is completely unproductive. You could be indulging in Love-Me-Time and committing to your Joy.

8) Remember the good qualities that the person had which attracted you to her/him. This alleviates you from making yourself wrong for the fact that the person stopped displaying those qualities with you. It also validates the qualities that you like in a partner and frees you to continue to enjoy them in the NEXT person. Practicing this habit also allows you to smile and laugh at the good things, which is an exercise in positive energy generation for your success.

9) Forgive yourself for any and all situations that you participated in and acknowledge yourself for your good contributions. You did what you did, s/he did what s/he did and that’s that. Nothing was ever all good or all bad. Let the good be valuable to your Life Lessons and let the bad be indications of what not to do next time.

10) If the opportunity presents itself and is right, you can say you’re sorry that things didn’t work out and wish the other person well. You do this as part of evolving to the next level of forgiveness for yourself and for completion with the other person. Have NO attachment to their behavior or the outcome. Forgiveness is first and foremost for YOURSELF.

11) Listen to your thoughts and actively choose to condition them to support your goals. Pay attention. Check in before you freak out. Don’t be afraid of what you will find inside yourself because your ultimate power for happiness is within you. By constantly dwelling on negative, self-defeating thoughts, you create a void within yourself. “Nature seeks to fill a void,” so if you are not careful of what you put in, the probability for all kinds of dreadful crap to fill your vessel (people, DIS-eases, misfortunes, etc.) is VERY realistic. Again, develop skills and habits to support you Being Better.

12) Stop whining and move on. It seems that far too many of Us are conditioned to be addicted to misery. Too many people spend an enormous amount of time and energy making themselves miserable and when they can’t do that adequately, they look to make others miserable. Misery is the comfort zone for people who fail to brave to Be Better. The best way to make yourself – and others who have to tolerate you miserable is to “beat a dead horse,” as the dreadful expression goes. It is valid to have your feelings, to grieve, and to have your process. However, it is not the goal to make the grieving process your new existence. On this occasion, a little tough love will get straight to the point: grow up, stop whining, take positive action, and move on. Many people are not aware that they are trapped in the misery-making-mode. So, a good way to check if you are is to look in the mirror. Can you smile at yourself and like what you see? If not, do whatever it takes to Be Better.

13) “Take responsibility for the energy you bring.” ~ Dr. Jill Bolt Taylor

14) Learn to enjoy your own company. This is the most important step of all. Without realizing it, many people jump into relationships to avoid feeling lonely and being alone. This fear is generated from a lack of self-validation and self-appreciation. If you don’t like your own company, why should anyone else? Make it a conscious habit to be good to yourself and with yourself.

NOTE: As you Become Better, there is the strong probability that many of the people you thought were part of your support system become tacky in ways that appear to be jealousy. Don’t take this as a personal attack; they are feeling their comfort zones being shaken by you braving to Be Better. You may have to make some tough choices to let them go – which may only be for now. But as you commit to loving and caring for yourself, you will attract people of like minds, like energies, and the ability to love you the way you deserve to be loved! I am living proof that this IS true!

And just in case you’re really dealing with some horrible creatures, being happy and looking fabulous are always the best … justice!

Always MY Pleasure,
