Recently I
was instructed that my services would be required after work to help a Lady
friend of Her Majesties’. It was a very basic kind of chore. “We” were going to
help her friend a Ms. Rachael (to the surprise of all this is NOT her real name!) who was recently widowed by removing, laundering, and
rehanging a set of flags that she had hanging up in her small private school.
They had
gotten a little dirty, she had added a couple more and the overall package was not looking very sharp at this time.
She and
her husband had created this school several years ago and actually lived inside of it. They had built a set of rooms of their own in the back. So partly this visit was to do a small favor for her friend and partly it was to pay a visit this lady who undoubtedly gets lonely these days living alone
inside the big empty school building since her husband has passed away.
After work
I drove home and picked her Highness up and drove us both to the school. Ms. Rachael met us at the door. Now she was always the more ‘dynamic’ of the couple and I
know the kids were always a little frightened of her. But I have always liked
her. Maybe it’s because I react to her personality the way a man who respects
strong women acts. Maybe it’s because I am not a kid in her school and did not share their reason to fear her wrath!

| Yes Ma'am Ms. Stern Teacher Lady Ma'am! Yes Ma'am! I LIKE Learning In Your Class Ma'am! Thank You For Teaching me Ma'am! |
Anyway, we
arrived and the ladies said “hello”, out of courtesy Ms. Rachael also acknowledged me. She is always polite and she was going to engage me in conversation and make me feel comfortable in being there. But before I would let her turn the conversation spotlight on me, I
used this opportunity to retell the story of my Queen’s quick actions
at the ballet which I wrote about recently.
As proud
of My Queen My Hero as I was, I was pretty proud of myself in this instance
too! I had directed any attention away from myself and shifted the focus onto a conversation
about how great my wife is. And I got to do in front of both of them. YES! Every time that you can do this
is an action that Ladies REALLY LIKE!
This is a behavior that Dale Carnegie wrote about in has famous book "How to Win Friends and Influence People". He wrote about very successful people who had learned the trick of avoiding talking about themselves but always placing a positive spotlight on others. When you make the other people around you the stars of the evening, they will feel good about themselves. And they will simply remember that being around you made them feel like better people. They will like that feeling and they will seek it, and YOU out again! And this will happen whether they ever realize that you are making an effort to spotlight them or not. They will simply remember how empowering it felt and what an ego boost it was to be around you.

So always try to think of
things beforehand that will shine a good light on your Lady or one
of the other Ladies who will be in attendance (hopefully a Lady that YOUR Lady Boss approves of! - Don't make a BIG mistake here!). Then use your limited speaking time to bring
up this story. Be quiet afterward and let the Ladies do the talking. If you can do
this well, you will be sought after for EVERY gathering! And THAT is precisely what you want, to be endlessly surrounded by women who feel good about themselves when you are near!
The Ladies
knew what to do and took it from where I had left it. I had no need to speak again which is generally a good thing. Men are here to do as they
are asked, not to launch into some topic of their own and try to talk over the
Ladies! And besides I had used my opportunity to fulfill one of the cardinal
rules of Surrendered Husbandhood, I had honored my Queen to her friend in front
of both of them. I could have blushed. Oh how I pray for MORE opportunities like that!

| "Oh Gosh! I Sure Do Like Being Around All You STRONG WONDERFUL Ladies! It Sure Is Swell Ma'am! Are There Any Chores I Could Do For You While I Am Here? It Sure Would Be An Honor Ma'am!" |
The three
of us climbed the stairs to the landing where the flags hung. The ladies had all kinds of people
and things to talk about and catch up on, so without any further instructions I simply knelt at
both of their feet and started to remove the flags. They paid no open attention to
me as I worked for several minutes until they realized that I was stuck on the very last knot and had spent
a long time on it.
When they realized that I was all but done, Ms. Rachael said: "Oh look he's been doing all the work and we've just been standing here talking all this time!" Then they both laughed, I blushed a little and remained docilely silent at their feet. I felt like this is EXACTLY how life should be! Women are to be revered, they should not be required to do
lowly manual tasks if men are available!
Ms. Rachael went off to get me a pair of scissors to cut the final knot. When she left, Mistress wasted no time in standing very close to me. She patted me on the head and stroked my hair like I was her little doggie. I gave her back a soft and jovial "Woof Woof!".
She laughed about it just a little. But I KNOW that she was feeling as warm inside as I was at that moment. I think at this point in the evening all three of us were in agreement about how life ought to be lived! Men were to be quiet, cute, and busy doing chores to serve women. While the women were to be served and revered.

I sometimes think my Queen laughs in situations like this because it is her fantasy coming
true and she cannot believe or accept that it is now her reality. “My man is obediently
kneeling at my feet and doing little menial chores for me right now! He is right where I have always wanted him and right where I have always felt that he belonged! OH YUM!”

| Ah Modern Love! Ain't It Great To Be A man Today! It Is Wonderful To Live Openly In Service And Reverence To The Ladies At Last! |
I finished my task and the two of us left for dinner. Mistress invited
Ms. Rachael to join us but she did not wish to go. I know that I would have enjoyed sitting quietly beside Her Majesty while the two of them continued their talk but, “Her
Will Be Done!”
I drove us to a Thai restaurant that Mistress likes. I am
not so crazy about it but again always remember…. “Her Will Be Done!”
The waiter must have been new. We had to ask him for glasses
of water and when he came to take our order he actually looked right at me and
said “What will you have Sir?” I said nothing and with raised eyebrows and tilted head, I looked over toward Mistress
as in: “I defer unto Thee Madame.” Her Ladyship did not miss a beat as she instructed him: “I will be
ordering first!”
OH MY HEART SKIPPED AN ASSERTIVE LADY BEAT!!! YUM!!! Power to the Ladies Right on! Remember, that unless there is an element of danger involved - Ladies Go First At Everything! They go through the door you held for them first. They go to the table at the restaurant first and wait for you to pull out their chair, they order first, etc. "Ladies First"

I felt like she had put him in his place and had reminded me of
mine all at the same time. Her confidence and assertiveness in all things
Female just seems to grow and grow! And I love it as does she! I know that she enjoyed it because she mentioned the incident later as well with a smile on her face.
SO to recap, nothing earth shattering occurred. No one made
a big scene and whipped some poor (lucky) devil’s ass and made him lick the
women’s boots afterward. It was just a little window into how things are for me
and I love it! I hope (and I believe) that more and more couples will head down this road to female
reverence and male service. That’s all.
