“What is an author to an editor?” Spring asks herself.  If only she had been prepared for Rachel’s answer…

Living Life Without Regrets



I was perusing Facebook again and came across this story. This speaks to me in regards to why I began blogging, but it offers a lesson on what is important in life.

Please use these words of wisdom to inspire you.

 I hope you enjoy.


“An 87 Year Old College Student Named Rose”

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, “Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?”

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”

“No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this “time machine”as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium.

As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.”

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success.

You have to laugh and find humor every day.

You've got to have a dream.

When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old.

If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change.

Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

She concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose.”

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.

At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

 One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be .When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful word of advice to your friends and family, they’ll really enjoy it!

These words have been passed along in loving memory of ROSE.

REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS
OPTIONAL.

We make a Living by what we get; we make a Life by what we give."

Conclusion to the Train Shack Mystery.....And Ana gets Spanked!

Ana gets a spanking.....ya hay!! Everyone send her a blogland pillow! Her behind is going to suffer alongside of Audra's.



This is the conclusion to my FF story hosted by PK on New Beginnings.

I am so very lucky to have generous friends who put up with my crazy insecurities.

I asked PK, Sunny, Ami and Bas to read my story and offer their thoughts.

Ana was such a good sport and didn't even ask to approve my version of events....!!!

She always deserves a spanking.....! Right? You all have to agree!!

You can find part I here.


Part II: The Train Shack Mystery



Minutes later, I saw the guy walk out of the shack and down the hill.
Looking to the kitchen, I listened to the girls arguing about the quiche recipe.
I quickly walked to open the closet and pulled out my gym shoes. I hurriedly put them on my feet and silently closed the door again.

Stopping momentarily, I rubbed by butt to relieve some of the lingering sting.

“Hey guys, I’m running next door to ask Mrs. Conrad a question about quiche, and pick up the hat for John!”

I heard Ana shout, “don’t be forever, we have tons to do today!”

“Okay Bossy lady!” I quietly closed the door on Gina’s laughter, and Ana’s outraged….

“I am not bossy….Just Right!”

I quickly ran across the street and up the slightly graveled hill to the shack that bordered the train tracks. The first thing I did was walk around the shack to see if the ground was disturbed. I figured I would be able to tell if someone dug a whole or buried something large.

I didn't see anything strange yet, so I walked around to where the door was located. It had a large padlock that had been cut off hanging from a latch.

My heart was beating fast, but it was with excitement. I needed to go inside and see if there were any clues for me to take apart.  I was just about to open the door when I felt like looking around. Down the street the strange man was heading back. Yikes I thought I needed to get back to the house without being seen. Dashing down the gravel and across the street I ran up to Mrs. Conrad’s door. I rang the bell, while trying to control my breathing. I watched as Mrs. Conrad peeked through the window.  I felt guilty using Mrs. Conrad as my alibi but I wasn't stupid.

“Hi Audra. What can I do for you today, sweetie?” “Remember that quiche recipe you typed out for us? Do you have another copy? I think we misplaced it. Oh and if you are still willing to let John borrow the hat I can take that now.”

“Sure love,” come on in and I’ll quickly print another copy.”

 I enjoyed seeing Mrs. Conrad her house always made me think about home. She was an artist and she lived life to the fullest. Her outfits were always attractive and just a tiny bit edgy. I walked through looking at all the artwork she had framed upon the walls. Many of her grandkids also were artistic so she barely had free wall space. We chit chatted then I quickly made my way back home.

The day continued with us preparing to have our Murder Mystery party. I even managed a nap. After John, Gina, Ana and I visited the police station; we ordered pizza that night for dinner.

“I still think that cop was pandering to me.” John seemed to grit his teeth after I ground out my aggravation for the fifth time that night.

“Audra that is crazy. He filled out the paperwork and even discussed how you need to stay away from the area.”

“Now you are humoring me! Do you think I am incapable of reading a situation accurately?” His eyes widened again. He also began to frown, at my attitude. Just to remind me of our morning incident, he gently rubbed my still tingly bottom from this morning.

“Let’s just finish and get a good night’s sleep, or do you need me to help you relax with a stress relief spanking?”

“No,” I almost shouted, “I am fine I lied.”

 We wanted to have most of the preparation finished so as to enjoy the day getting dressed up. The rest of the night was fraught with tension, but we managed to get everything finished with minimal hair pulling.

I could tell John was wiped, and I felt guilty for being crazy and unreasonable. I apologized and we laid on the couch falling asleep in each other’s arms.

I woke up and decided I was wired so I reached over and started reading my book.  I decided to change into my sweats for more late night reading.

However as I walked up the stairs to my room, I couldn’t stop thinking about the nut in the shack. I went to my room and slipped into my sweats. Then I stood by the bathroom door and looked into the darkened room that was Ana’s. I knew I was going to go spy again. How crazy that I was more afraid sitting in the darkened house then planning on walking over to the darkened shack by the tracks. Knowing she would freak I still decided to tell Ana in case something bad happened. I’d take my cell phone for safety.

Tip toeing softly so the house stayed quiet, I gently shook her awake. “Ana, I’m going across by the tracks to see what is going on with that nut case.”

“What!” She whisper shrieked while swinging her legs from under the blankets.
“Are you out of your mind?” She rubbed the sleep from her eyes with one hand, while using the other as she grabbed some sweats lying on the floor near her bed.

“Wait, what are you doing?” I put my hand up to slow her down.

“I am going with you, to make sure you are safe.”

“That is crazy; two of us will be harder to hide.”

“Well then let’s not go at all.” Ana said calmly, as she reached under her bed for her flip flops.

“If you are coming with me, put tennis shoes on!”

“Don’t tell me what to do, Audra! I run better with my flip flops than you do in your tennis shoes.”

“Okay miss stubborn.” I snorted quietly. “Now let’s make a plan. I was able to see some things when I looked at the shack this morning.”

Ana came to a full stop as we were walking out into the hall. “You know, If John and Gina find out we will not sit down for days!” Absent mindedly she reached back to rub her rear.

“I am not too worried, John is sleeping like a baby, and if we hurry we can gather information for the police so they can get this creep. I do not want to capture him myself; I do not have a death wish!”

We tiptoed silently out the door and across the darkened street. We had the moonlight and one lone streetlamp as a guide.

For someone reluctant to get in trouble Ana was certainly moving purposefully.

As we approached the shack we walked around and found a blanket over a newly turned up mound of dirt! I started to get nervous, “Ana lets quickly go inside and see what is around, then go back home.” I grabbed her and tried to shield her with my body in case someone was in the shack. However she was having none of that and pushed herself to cover me. “Stop it I nearly shouted, I’m the one who dragged you into this mess.”

“I should have told Gina and John. I knew you were not thinking clearly through lack of sleep.”

“She was right, and my bottom was going to suffer, I just knew it!

“Let’s just finish and find what we can, then go home…okay?”

The latch was open, so we quietly stepped into the dank room of the shack. I used my cell as a temporary flashlight. I swung it around looking for evidence.

In the corner we saw a mound of something. We grabbed onto each other walking slowly to get a closer look. It looked to be a large garbage bag with a ton of things inside. My cell wasn’t the perfect light to peruse the contents of the bag but we had to try something.

I whispered, “I hope it isn’t body parts.” Ana looked at me and I could swear I saw her blanche.

Picking up an edge and separating the opening I shown my light inside, Jewelry and other expensive looking things appeared as the light hit and reflected back at us.

Ana reached in and pulled out a huge diamond ring. “Wow look at this.”

In that moment of silence we took to look at what was before us, we heard shoes scraping around outside.

Click! I shut off my cell light. Both Ana and I sat holding hands and digging our nails into each other’s palms in fright. We sat quickly and quietly in the corner trying to hide in the darkness.

I dialed John’s cell and hoped I would be able to whisper and let him realize where we were.

Next we heard another pair of shoes and quiet conversation.

“So you buried our last stash, right?”

 “Yes. I put a blanket over it since at night it wouldn’t show.”

“I cannot believe how much jewelry we robbed in this University town.”

Since they were talking, I took a chance as John answered groggily. “John, it’s me Audra, Ana and I are in danger by the tracks, call the police!”

Minutes ticked by in an eternity of sweaty fright for Ana and I. Just when I thought my legs were going to cramp, I heard the two men remark that a couple of people were walking out of the house across the street. They quieted their voices, and we heard them open the shack door.

Loud sirens screamed close by as the men concurrently noticed us and realized that the police were pulling up next to the shack.

The men ran out and we heard shouts of “Stop or we will shoot,” being barked clearly!
After what seemed a perpetually long time, it quieted outside, suddenly the shack door was thrown open and John and Gina appeared. 

We embraced in relief, letting go of all our fear. After a few minutes of reassurance to one another we walked outside. Unfortunately we needed to explain what we were doing and what we found to the officers. They were not going easy on us. I stiffened in anger, if one more officer commented on our stupidity I was going to vomit or scream.

My mood must have been conveyed to John since he leaned down and whispered into my ear. “You are in enough trouble already, how long do you want to be sitting gingerly?”

Gulp, I forgot about all of this having consequences for my bottom. I looked over at Ana and Gina; they were walking hand and hand back to the house.

After a bit longer we walked up to the house. “John I know you are mad but I really was sure about the shack guy doing something illegal.”

“And you thought that it was smart to act like a cop or detective on your own?!” 

Cringing at his disbelief, I tried to mitigate my foolishness. “Nothing happened honey.” 

“What?” He spouted in irritation and incredulity, swatting my behind hard. The spank propelled me quicker to the stairs. I stopped talking for a tiny bit formulating my defense in my head. I certainly wasn’t looking forward to another spanking on my slightly sore bottom.

As we stepped onto the porch we both glanced in the window and saw Ana across Gina’s knee getting her bottom blistered with a hairbrush. I was mesmerized for a moment. She was kicking up a storm and reached back to cover her bare behind, which had been reddened considerably. They had been at this a while. We quickly realized as Gina restrained Ana’s kicking legs between hers, this was not for our eyes and turned away allowing them privacy. She was still fighting mightily!

“I feel so bad for getting her in trouble I whispered.”

“She made her own decision, to act irrationally. But she wouldn’t have been put in the position without you acting idiotically.” He was giving me no lee way.

A bit later Gina stuck her head out the front door saying, “we are going to bed, and the living room is all yours.” Obviously she knew we saw.

I stood up and we walked inside. We watched Gina and Ana walk up the stairs with their arms around each other. Ana turned to me and smiled saying “Even though I was framed….It will be okay Audra.” Gina nodded affirmatively, “we care Audra.”

What transpired was by far the worst spanking I have ever received from John.

 “Now John,” I began in a pleading tone.

“Do not even say one word Audra.” His voice scarcely contained his anger. “But….” 

“NO” he almost shouted. “Enough trying to defend your dangerous actions.” I was stalling, “but.” Then he stopped talking and He took my right arm while I tried to bend my knees almost sitting on the floor. John began pulling me toward the couch, he was too strong. I was fighting but it wasn’t making any difference. He stopped and swatted me twice to insist I quit fighting. We reached the couch and he sat and at the same time pulled me across his lap.

Smack! He was spanking me hard, laying one swat after another on my clothed behind, and barely giving me time to absorb the intensity. “You spanked me this morning!”

 “Then why did you place yourself in danger?” The surprise in his voice was enough to make me pause.

 “No fair, I didn’t get hurt!” I just couldn’t stop arguing.

Smack! “Really that’s how you want to play this?” Don’t you remember my spanking you for walking along the cornfield because of the danger?” 

 Then pulling down my sweats he concentrated on spanking me on my panties. “Stop you cretin” I managed to shout between ouches. He didn’t stop, not even slowing down. I was starting to get tired fighting his strength.

Next, he pulled the last barrier down to bare me. I thought my bottom and the backs of my thighs would just burst into flames. I soon realized he was making sure he laid the groundwork for me to take the hairbrush as the final installment! “I am sorry,” I screamed finally meaning the words. I was vocal through the entire ordeal. But in the end I was just sagging and pliant. He rubbed my red behind while I calmed down. I couldn’t get any closer to John or him to me.

We fell asleep in each other’s arms comforting each other through the rest of the night. 

When we woke early in the morning we talked some more.
“You know Gina and Ana agreed to have us live here after we get married. I think maybe we should move up the date! What do you think Audra?”
I snuggled into his arms and said, it was the best Idea I had ever heard. “Maybe I wouldn’t need crazed serial killer books to keep me company during the long nights after all.” I sighed mumbling my words into his neck.

The morning found Ana and I doing everything we could to avoid sitting down. However it was apparent that Ana and Gina were attached at the hip and John and I couldn’t stop making contact. As we shared breakfast we received a phone call from the police. They informed us it was possible that every robbery victim would receive their cherished jewelry soon.

The murder mystery party was a grand success and even though Ana and I still sat gingerly......

 Love was the biggest victor, that night.

Fantasy Friday over at New Beginnings!

Hi!

Just letting everyone know I wrote a Fantasy Friday for PK!

'Train Shack Mystery'

You will all be excited to read that our dear Ana figures prominently in this tale of mystery......Yes she does get spanked!!!! Come on you know she deserves to get her butt blistered!

Cheers all around!!! Wooo Hoooo!

No she isn't the only character in for a bit of spanking.

I will post part II On Saturday. Please come round to read.

I hope everyone enjoys the fun. 

Ana gets spanked! Na na na na na !

Thanks,

Minelle

Spankful For Bas, words of Wisdom.

basbanner1fixed.jpg

Bas our man of wisdom building gifts of friendship.

We were encouraged to blog around the same time by our very dear friend PK.  Although he took the plunge first!

BTW Bas's comments are the small print.....

Did that stop him from extending his hand in friendship. Nope not Bas.

Now this is a great surprise Minelle. Tonight, on my phone, I read your comment on my blog under your new full name and I was already happy for you, but I didn't yet look further. Now, this morning, I click on your name and I find you have started your own blog. And what a great start. Welcome to blogland.


Next he suggested a connection.

Now we have to find in what way are related. Labraun, that is literally the french/german translation of my last name.

I actually think we need to research that Bas. Let's talk! 

Bas has a way of helping me see past my anxious over thinking of spanking....Period. Trying to make clear my Scotsman's spanking his way, versus spanking my way he calmly pointed out..... 

I see it Minelle. Vive la difference. Seems to be two very compatible ways.
He is having fun. She is having fun.Yep, everything is fine.

Yet... once more I tried to understand the emotional vagaries of being a spank-yes or a spank-no! YES..... versus.....OUCH!!! Bas's wisdom simplifies without fussy words or lectures.

Alternating between spank-no and spank-yes is quite common. Usually the spank-no's are the ones to be spanked in a few moments, and the spank-yesses are the ones that were spanked a few moments ago. But there is also everything in between.

He sees the humor in a misunderstanding and shares graciously.
When posting Pks Meme......I prefaced my answers with a statement that I understood the word 'slept' in the Meme to mean 'sex!' Full belly laugh once again Bas....

Minelle, I am confused. You tell me that "slept" means "having sex"?
I always thought the exact opposite.
This is a disaster! Now everybody thinks I had sex with one of my brothers.

When others vehemently disagreed with my narrow definition.....giggle.

I am sooooooo relieved.
Maybe I'm just a naive guy. Thinking that 'slept' has anything to do with sleeping.


He doesn't just share conversations with me, but reaches out to my Scotsman.

Watching soccer in the US? That cannot be easy.
Did his team win?
My team did, so I can stand some bragging by him. Go ahead. Laughing out loud!

Even more recently.....As my husband lay recovering and gnashing his teeth at his team.

Minelle, sorry that I could not change the game yesterday. I would have liked a nice victory for him. Oh well, there's always next week's game.

Bas is the 'Glass is half full' kinda guy!!

 He gently encourages me to get some much needed sleep. Bas knows I have stayed up into the wee hours blogging and emailing friends. Shhhhhhh! Ahem!

Still think you should go to bed at decent times though.

His horror and shock that my stories come from real life experiences containing danger question my impulsive nature. We have discussed a metaphorical neon sign hanging above my head, thus illuminating my preponderance for mild mischief.

I certainly enjoyed the story. That adventure on the roof, was that autobiographical?

Or..... If this is in any way autobiographical, you are living way to dangerous.
You've got to get rid of that Neon sign. It's unhealthy.

The encouragement he offers this ladies fledgling attempts at penning.... 'cough'.... mostly fictional stories.

I'm a bit late, but this story is really real and beautiful. Good promising story!
Told you, Minelle is a talent!
When PK gets her hand on you she will get that book squeezed out of you.
You should try this for a living. Ana knows all about book-publishers. She can help you.
You can draw your own illustrations for your books, that is a plus.
I am now waiting for you to work that scene on the dance floor into a movie script.

Lest you think he doesn't encourage a spanking or two....

Tell husband to be careful while spanking over those Tights.
Watch out for that swatting. You had better behave.

Bas your wisdom reminds us that there is joy every day and to live it and embrace all we can.

Kahlil Gibran says it immensely more beautiful, but when you live your life to the full, the ups and downs are indeed extreme.

Signed,

The lady from the Museum of Modern Art....Who is never out of breath. 
More spankful for Bas.....words of wisdom!

Anyone who would love to join in on 'Spankful For Bas' grab my banner and send a link to your url to Ana

With Much Love and Appreciation


Hi, everyone. I’m Ana. I’m writing this post for Minelle’s blog because she has been spanked severely and told to stand in the corner while she…

Hey, wait! Give my computer back, Minelle. Aw, come on! It was just a joke. Please? And you know you need a…

Wait, no! I’m sorry! Really I am. There’s no need to call Mrs. Claus. Or Bas. Aw, Minelle!

*cough*

Um, hi. I’m Ana. Minelle’s friend. Minelle has *not* been spanked, more’s the pity—hey no! I’ll stop, I promise! She wants to write updates and say thank you to everyone, but life’s been throwing her a few curveballs lately. So I offered to put up a little post in the meantime.

Minelle would like to say, from the bottom of her heart, how very much she appreciates each and every one of your prayers, good thoughts, good wishes, positive energy, and every thoughtful thing you have done. She is sorry not to comment on your blogs or respond to comments or reply to emails (she’s a bit of a tech-no as well as a spank-no), but she is reading each one and feeling strengthened by your love and prayers. She truly could feel the peace and positive energy you sent her, and while her Scotsman was in the hospital it helped immensely.

He was discharged on Sunday, and they are praying to finally have a clear path to recovery. It has been a difficult time, but your silliness, love, and messages have been wonderful. They still have a lot of things to take care of so she may not be active in blogland for a while, but she is reading and thinking about all of you. You mean a great deal to her.

With much love and appreciation from Minelle (the lady who needs a good paddling).

Spanking Introduction Letter



 I was writing a letter of introduction a while back and discussed it with my friend PK. She naturally couldn't resist adding to my qualifications... labeling spanked wife and blogger. It made me laugh for quite a while. I decided to embellish upon the idea.


My husband recently had some emergency surgery. He is fine but sitting here in the hospital, I was bored and wanted to write something funny.


So here goes!

Minelle LaBraun

Date: Now and Forever

Contact: Scotsman

Contact Designation: Home

Sub: Application for the Position of Spanked Wife.


To Whom It May Concern, (This is you my Darling Scotsman)


I have been made aware of a job opening as the spanked wife in our marriage. “What?” You say in disbelief. “I always spank you my darling!” “Yes…… but because we are both so very busy, (and emergency surgery) Your Job skills are becoming rusty.”


I am a certified spanked wife with almost 21 years’ experience, (maybe more) receiving mild hand spankings OTK, OTB or standing. I have a special interest in mild discipline and the erotic spanking.


Yes, your wife is capable of advancing to the next level. I am eager to consider experimenting with other various types of implements. I also have experience in reading a multitude of spanking fiction which I will willingly share to advance your application method. This willing/reluctant student resolves to let your technique develop without bossy interference. Spanking one’s partner is highly subjective, and your creative interpretation should not be deterred by my interference… (Not sure I can follow through with this one) A few ouches and… not soooo hard may escape!


It is only through experimentation that a person understands her/his capabilities.


I would like to arrange a meeting (even though you lie next to me) with you as soon as our schedule (and your healing) allows.


I will kiss you to confirm and to discuss this wonderful job opportunity further.


Yours Always and Forever,


Minelle


I hope you do not mind that I am replying in a general response for right now. I hope to be less scattered in a few days. I Would probably just sound like an idiot if I tried to tell each and everyone of you what your well wishes meant to us. MY general reply is below. Thank You!!
