Thanks thread reprisal~

[+ Tygerscent]

...Bringing back the thankfulness thread in retrospect and reflection of the past year: Please add yours for others to be inspired and benefit from~

I offer my thanks in these ways, (and more not mentioned but, hopefully communicated or shared thru time shared together and beyond~).

1). In spite of my wolfs on going and natural progression of life, he is here with me and still avenging the natural wilds of nature and our elements shared. While he is less my guardian and I become more his, he continues to show me how to be my own strength and show strength back to others. He teaches me how to accept Love and Life and give it back. I am eternally grateful and will always give back as selflessly as I am able as he has given to me~

Love you always Nanook!~ You are the world to me~

2). I am thankful and honored by the interest and sharing that I have been fortunate enough to experience with others on such amazing personal and intimate levels thru my profession. Always, You guys are my Family of Heart, Soul and body, three dimensionally speaking on all levels... living and loving together as we do in all kinds of ways that extend beyond my common knowledge or thoughts prior to my Escorting profession.

I feel so completely Blessed by the experiences I have been graced with through these growing sharing years and can not offer enough thru these simple words to express my gratitude and thanks~ My eyes and heart have expanded exponentially and for this I have only Love and a strong sense to offer back fully and to my greatest ability with Love and passion for life shared.

The best thing I ever did was become a Geisha Escort~ The best gift I have ever received in life, (siding along with the guardianship of the mighty Nanook, wolf companion), was the love and sharing thru this profession.

In all of my failings and Human vulnerability, my experiences with you guys have been my greatest realization of Life and Living it and been my becoming strengths~ Thru you , I have learned so much and hopefully been able to offer something of worth and value beyond the test of time back to you~ Thru you, and thru my own self growth, I continue to strive to become more, my greatest potential in days to come~ You motivate and encourage me to not simply learn about myself but, learn about life itself and in return, share that back to others as we grow together~

Together people can make a world of change~ Together we are rectifiers of the past, we can be conduits of present hopes and fortifiers of future to come for others~ Learn and teach back~! We can and we are able~!

We can represent the strength and positive conscientious possibilities of who we are with the world we live in and make it all happen. Not simply for ourselves but for the world around us that supports our simple being~

So.... for you and US~ I give Thanks and extend blessings for that continued motivational, inspirational force we can be~

3). I'm thankful for being imperfect. I made the conscious effort to do some things do some things vastly different beyond my own comfort zone this past year~ It was never intentionally a move to disrespect or undermine the love or blessings that people have offered to me with genuine heart but, never the less, they sensed/experienced, visualized the point of change and growth of my personal expansion and in some case were hurt or confused by my journey~. Should there be some sense of hurt or loss in my own decision and actions, I offer my complete apologies and send Love. I conduct my growth in not necessarily orthodox ways~

While I do not ask for forgiveness or understanding, I simply extend my apology...

To those patient individuals I extend my Love and support~ I remain human and growing but, always with the goal of learning about others and myself and giving back in the most constructive ways possible beyond my "self"~

Life consists of Living it thru learning and passing the lessons for those coming up behind us~ I Love and Live for that~ It's not always a simple offering of perfect example of life but, a learning of it that benefits others as they can relate to it~

With no sense of shame or regret, I simply offer Thanks for the opportunity to grow with you, from you and give my growth back~

4). While my foundation of ethnic foundation remains prominent and strong. I am Lakotah~ That's just me but, there are all kinds of ethnic understandings of the world beyond my own~ I recognize and respect the foundations of others of non-native american indian culture~ Thru the diverse nature of peoples and cultures here I learn and continue to expand not only my own potential but the wisdom of other cultures~ We can be the constructive, global beneficial family together by collaborating each of our cultural strengths as a global community~

5). While I understand and highly regard the need/gifts of my personal encounters locally, I have come to a point of discovery and appreciation of the idea that we are interconnected now, in a global sense. It's not just my life or gay life USA or rights there in. Democracy is not as much a political party as it could be and global understanding along with human rights~

It's the human rights globally that we are in intercourse with... and thru that we are influenced by~

In light that I make the New years resolution to expand my potential, offering to provide as I can, (and it's definitely a learning point for me.... I accept that I will be learning and making errors), by working in a medical HIV clinic in Africa sometime this summer~ I hope to bring connections and supportive assistance back with me on the local level~

I suppose I have some personal failing and loss at risk but, what of that in the potential to bring some better understanding and help both here and abroad? Even in the light of failure, I can at least hope to learn and make a small stepping stone for better understanding???

My hopes are not always realized but I never cease to hope~

I have saved up for this experience thru the grace and interest of my Clients and extend my honest Love and appreciation to those who have hired me even though I have not made my goals public per say or known to them~

You who have hired and supported me, (and to whom I am indebted to), have provided me with hope that my experience will give back on the local level here and potentially abroad~

Your interests and sharing has become my ability to give back beyond my simple means otherwise~

Forever Thanks and Blessings~!

6). To my Family and Mother, the one that gave me this gift of Life~ Always present and inspiring to me~ Though you are not here physically with me~ I always feel you and am encouraged and inspired by your innocent provision/healthy indulgence of love of life and beauty~ There is no me without you~ I miss you daily~ You grace me with this magnificent experience~ Continue to live thru the beauty of my eyes and bless me with the ability to bring that sense of beauty to others thru your provision and example~

7). My Greatest wishes and hopes for Dreams recognized, realized and achieved for others in the new year as is paramount/essential to their own growth and becoming~

In short~...

That is my thanks and recollection of the past year. That is the simple offering into the New Year that I wish for others... be complete, become everything, be you and Lovingly so.... give back to others as you grow~

Those behind us are learning and growing and need the good example~?

...and even more short...

Hey Ty. I enjoyed your expression of gratitude and as a result I spent time contemplating the aspects of my life for which I have gratitude. I think we should all probably spend a bit more time in such appreciation. I hope you have a great 2012 and I look forward to seeing you again when you next pass through the East Coast.

[leigh.bess.toad]

Tyger, my sensei, my geisha, my friend. We have shared much over the last year. Even last night as I expressed my concern to you for the mighty Nanook. I know how you are connected with him and my concern for you and him is great. You both are constantly in my thoughts now. But I know as his love for you has nourished you through the years, your strength, your love and your devotion to him will nourish him. I know of no other human/animal connection as you two have. Be strong for him. And if needed, lean on those of us who love you. We are here for you whenever you need us, wherever you need us, however you need us.

 

2011 is now gone. And with it the most remarkable year of my life. When I came out at the end of 2010, I was cautioned against it by so many friends. Yet I knew it was something I had to do. And I now see it was the best decision I ever made. I have been touched and blessed by so many people, both the amazing escorts I have come to know here as well as so many friends here and in my community. I draw strength from the support and encouragement I have received from so many. For all the support and encouragement I have received from so many, especially in my earliest days as an out man, I am eternally thankful.

 

Before joining the forum, I would avoid making friendships with men for fear my "secret" would be discovered. Here I found the comraderie and friendships I have always craved but was afraid of. This place provided the environment I used to explore my sexuality enough to be comfortable to finally admit out loud what I had always known: I was a gay man. Without this place, I have no doubt I would still be living in fear deeply buried in the back of that dark and lonely closet. So to Daddy, deej, Cooper and Barry, I owe you a tremendous amount of thanks and gratitude. You may not know what this place can do for someone. But simply by being here, you provide a safe outlet for men such as myself. The mere existence of this place has allowed me to change my life. So to Daddy and all the admins and moderators, thank you.

 

Because without this place, I would not have come out. And without that, I would not have found the love of my life with my wonderful bf. My future is so different than I thought it would be one year ago. My journey from a deeply closeted married gay man, riddled with self-doubts and worries, to a proud, out, and confident gay man has been unbelievable. To now be staring at a life sharing it with such a great partner was unfathomable a mere year ago. So many men have played such an enormous part in my journey. My escorts, my friends all have had a profound influence in who I have become, the transformation of my life. I couldn't even begin to thank them all by name for fear I would forget someone important. But to all of you, you know how truly thankful I am that you have been in my life. I look forward to many years of friendship and sharing all the good things that life can offer.

 

But first, there was my Tyger. A week after joining this forum, you reached out to me. A newbie here, a newbie trying to find his way in the gay world. One of the great escorts, one of the most highly regarded men here, reached out to me. Why??? I will never know what it was that you saw in that newbie that caused you to do that. You more than any other got me through the worst parts of the journey, making me see the possibilities in my life, the value that I have. You and I do seem to be connected in ways I can't even imagine. I feel your presence in my life, even 3,000 miles apart or more. What you have given to me I try to share with others. Your effect on me is causing effects on others you do not know. You have cast your stone in the pond. And the ripples reach out far beyond you can imagine. I'm not sure if you aren't happier for the love I have found with my bf than even I am. Your words, your thoughts, your inspiration constantly compel me to do even better, try even harder, become even more. I have told you many times, I could never repay you for all that you have given to me in a thousand lifetimes. But that will not stop me from trying. You are my sensei, my teacher, my guide, my friend. And for that, I never stop being thankful. Every day of my life.

Tyger,

 

Without going into detail, you are the consumate human being--not man, not gay man, not escort, not friend--you are all of that and so much more.

 

You have made my life and so many others worthwhile, and I can only wish that those meaningful attributes you brought to us come your way endlessly.
