Label: Shake the Sugar Tree

"Shake the Sugar Tree" is the title of a country music song written by Chapin Hartord. It was recorded by American singer Pam Tillis on her 1992 album Homeward Looking Angel, from which it was released in 1992 as the album's lead-off single. "Shake the Sugar Tree" became Tillis' fourth Top Ten country hit, peaking at #3 on Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs).*

In the song, a wife admonishes her husband for taking her and their relationship for granted too often, only responding when she complains ("You're like fruit from a fickle vine, 'you turn sweet in the nick of time / Love, you only come alive when you're losin' me") and concluding that sometimes she has to "shake the sugar tree" in order to "feel his love come falling all around [her]".

Sometimes in long term vanilla relationships people get comfortable with each other and forget or don’t feel the need to do the little things they used to do in the relationship that showed the other that they love them.  At times one or both may feel like they have nothing to worry about because they will never lose the other person due to the love between them.  This can easily be interpreted as taking the other’s love for granted.  Sometimes to fix that feeling we may do things to “shake the sugar tree”, to wake both sides up within the relationship.  It is human nature to “perk up” if you feel you are losing grip with the one you love or what is yours and you will do whatever it takes to get things back on track again.

This also happens in D/s relationships.    However, in all relationships, I personally feel that if you are having those feelings that open communication always helps resolve those situations.  My hopes for this area (label) of my blog is to talk about the above some, but to mostly talk about ways to “shake the sugar tree” in a way of becoming the submissive of his dreams by finding qualities that every Dominant longs for.  Making note and changes where needed on every word we speak, every decision we make, and every action we take that will either move us closer to or take us further away from that dream for him. The woman of his dreams!

While each Dominant is different and desires fall in different areas there are still basic qualities that fall into their aspirations for their submissive.  I want you to know that I am not coming to you as an expert who knows all there is to know about becoming the woman of my Master’s dreams.  Rather, I am learning right along with you and my sister slaves.  I will discover with you on this fantastic journey that we are all on.  This area has prompted me to have long talks with my Master to learn His desires in my sister slaves and me.  I am far from reaching them, but I have set myself on a course to try to become that person for Him.  And knowing my one sister slave, some of you may be just like her at times, because of the honesty, you may see some things you don’t like, the hair may bristle on the back of your neck, and you may close the browser in a huff.  But I would encourage you to keep coming back and share your thoughts with us so that we can learn together.
