I'm simply me, a woman that gave up a commited and strict christian belief system that failed me completely and am now seriously searching for truth & wisdom.
Music
I love listening to many different sounds. At the moment soft jazz or Native American music bring the most peace. I am just learning to enjoy classical. (No opera, though.)
Movies
I enjoy 'Mists of Avalon', 'Practical Magic' (I love the herbal room in the house), 'Contact','Beauty Shop', The Craft, and of course "Dances With Wolves" is simply one of the best movies.
TV
No dish, no satellite, no antenna, nothing. I have saved myself from all those commercials and brain washing. Older shows that I enjoy are Northern Exposure, Frasier, Will & Grace, Dharma & Greg, ....
Books
I have several shelves of books that include many topics; witchcraft, paganism, Native American beliefs, etc. I am still searching for my spiritual foundation and floundering in the deeper yet shallow waters of paganism.
Likes
I love nature. I love the aroma of soil when I work with my plants. I have always pointed out clouds and colors in the sky. I swerve around snakes. I love water, whether it be the ocean, a pond, or a swimming pool. I respect storms and lightning. I have always known that there was a spirit in every thing. Animals fascinate me and when I go to the zoo or the aquarium the animals and fish tend to come to me. I love to swim and enjoy spring and summer the most.
Dislikes
My first dislike is a hate ... WAR. But I also dislike people who: think they know everything about everything, think they are better than me, put on fake facades, and hurt other people. I also dislike winter, advertising, & stupid people. But my biggest hate, other than war, is anyone who lies.
Hobbies
Swimming, being outdoors, reading, puzzle games and the computer.
Vices
trying to read too many books at one time, spending so much time organizing stuff that I don't get as much as I could done, some procrastination ...
Virtues
Stopped smoking in May of 2005. Am open-minded and friendly.
Heroes
My son who, after being in Iraq, is now in Afghanistan until June/July of next year. But especially my oldest daughter who died of colon cancer at the age of 24, on christmas day 2005.
I just returned from the pool a bit ago, the water was so warm, not very appealing to me. But I wasn't really swimming anyway, just floating. I went to the doctor last Saturday with double ear infections. So I have been at home and tonight I stayed above the water. The moon was very visible, but with quite a bit of haze. However, we have a 50 - 60 % chance of rain tomorrow and tomorrow night so that is expected. It was still so nice to see the moon again. It looked quite a bit like this one ... just with more haze.
Has everyone that is able gone out and looked up into the night sky and gazed upon the stars this evening? I just got back from the pool and the stars were absolutely gorgeous!
I awoke to rain about 5:30 this morning. I even got to go out on the porch to retrieve an item that was in the shower. It was so nice. It was cool and wonderfully refreshing. It has been so hot here with the heat index up around 105 degrees or so and today's high is 97 +. But just for those few moments I felt the cool drops on my skin ... so wet and so welcome. I felt blessed to have been awake in time to experience this nurturing experience, while everyone else was still sleeping deeply. Small blessings are sometimes the best and the most personal.
