Thanks, as always, LA. To answer some of your (very good) questions, best I can at the moment -- "What exactly are you doing?" That, for a change, will be her decision of course. For now, some will be in public, some will be private, some will be "merely" domestic. " It seems like you are transferring authority for 48 hours. What authority does she want to directly manage? " Yes, that's correct. She has expressed no desire to set a limit on her authority and I'm encouraging her to take the entire kit and kaboodle, unless she requests otherwise of me. " What are the goals she wants accomplished?" I know she'll be reading this, but I'll pass it along. " What plans do you have together and how will your submissive help to fulfill those plans?" Again, clearly too vague for the moment itself. You make it clear that specific plans need to be laid. She can't "wing it" any more than I do. "What are the expectations for your behavior and manner? In private? In public?" Very similar to those I've indicated for her in our normal life (except reversed of course). "Will you both be ok with taking time in the period to talk over whats going on, or will you save that for later?" Yes to both. We are comfortable with this sort of communication from our normal way of life. I think one problem I'll face is the temptation to assert myself too much in these conversations ... should be good for us both. "I'd say simply start when you wake up in the morning with some expected basic task and go from there." Great suggestion. It may seem obvious to you, but again I'll pass it along. "You may or may not reach your goal here, and you most certainly will have only begun to experience a journey of self-exploration IF you decide this is something you enjoy and want to continue. You may decide it's really not something that works for you after all- and that's ok." Yes, it's all okay. I'm very much looking forward to it and have no idea if either of us will take to it (and want to give it another try) or whether it will be something we just laugh about. The worry of course is that one will love it and the other will hate it ... but we have to try. Any suggestions on things I can do to help me get my head on right for an effort to give submission a try? Thanks as always. JW
