My friends,
Although I’m typing this post a few days early, by the time you read it, dated December 23, 2014, we’ll have been together here for more than four years.
This blog, in it’s original incarnation on blogger and imported here in 2013, contains somewhere upward of 850 individual posts, 200+ original, reader-submitted spanking stories, more than 3800 reader comments, and a whole bunch of me, running off at the mouth about this, that, and spanking. There are probably close to 100 free spanking videos now – Product Testing, Tips for Tops, previews, etc. – and uncountable photos, still, snaps, and images from several years of spanking boys and girls on film.
We’ve talked a lot about serious things, and delved pretty deeply into our interests, our victories, and our defeats. We’ve also been downright silly, probably more than anything else.
Every year I try and come up with a way to properly thank you, every single one, for enriching my life in some way, even if it’s just that you choose to come here twice a year and poke around for a while…I’m grateful.
For those of you who comment, write, and engage – well, I’m in your debt. Your feedback (whether positive, negative, or completely nonsensical) is immeasurably valuable to someone who sometimes wonders why she spends so much damn time typing. Thank you.
All my friends and playmates, what can I say? You’ve changed my world, and my view of people in general. You’ve shown me, over and over again, just how very human we all are – and what an amazing thing that is. Sharing yourselves with me, so intimately, and for so long, proves what I’m always telling every single one of you – you’re beautiful people. I love you all.
Who knows what next year will bring any of us? Hopefully, we’ll all get at least one step closer to wherever it is we’re heading.
(Also spanking.)
Happy this year. Happy next year. Happy every year.
With deepest gratitude,
– Dana
Here’s to continued good times!
Dana, you are just such a sweethart,I just love everything about you,thanks for sharing your life with us bloggers.
Dear lady,
Thank you to you.
You provide a safe and accepting space for us to explore, question and just enjoy. You don’t take yourself too seriously, allowing us to show our own fallibility and relax in a world that sometimes does not allow that openly.
All the best to you and yours in the new year.
Heather
And a spankingly Happy Holiday, New Year and everyday for you and your family, Dana. Your insights, humor, and sharing have been most warming to us (yes, even the warming “down under”).
Thanks to you as well.
You are truly one of the Dearest lady’s I know! You spend so much time sharing and caring about all those around you and here on your web page, Thank You for being You I have grown in many ways with your words and correction! You bring a smile to every place you are at! Hugs
That’s a really lovely message, Dana. Thank you for being such a wonderfully unique and irreplaceable figure. I look forward to hearing and seeing more from you in 2015. Happy Holidays. :)
Thanks, Dana, for sharing a part of your life with me. The anticipation of seeing you and actually being in your presence is always a thrill. The fond memories (and bruises) of our times together are treasured. I’ll be looking forward to seeing my favorite “Teacher” again. Ray
For the next year I suggest a tour in Mediterranean where a lot brats waiting you.
Dana, I just can’t help wondering if you are even better at warming hearts than you are at heating hineys…you seem quite talented in both endeavors.
Sending you much love — Christmas and always.
Ms. Kane,
You are a fine generous human being, and the world is better for you in it.
Respectfully submitted,
Ethan
Thank you for the nice post. I’ve been a fan of the blog for several years now. I hope you keep writing, Dana, spanking or otherwise. You got a lot of funny experiences to share.
Speaking of downright silly, Dana – have you ever run into a “fan” at the airport and been asked to autograph something? I’ve been pondering what I’d ask you to sign if I had a chance encounter…maybe some sort of makeshift traveling paddle :)
Happy New Year!
Dana,
You truly are a gem. It is an honor knowing you this past year, and I hope to see you more often in the coming year. Thank you for all you do for us all.
Everyone,
The fifteen responses above, in addition to the many received in my email inbox, are further proof (as if I needed any) that you are all, to a person, fantastic. Thank you all, genuinely, from the very bottom of my heart – and paddle.
– Dana
