Hi.  I am so happy I found this site and hope to meet wonderful people who will help expand my knowledge and mind.

When I was 18 I thought I knew everything!  Then I got older and found I knew nearly nothing - finding all the shades of grey inbetween the stark black and white.  Nothing is simple.

The last decade has been very challanging for me and I have discovered that I am much stronger than I ever thought.  I have experienced the most exciting growth over recent times, expanding my view of the world and enjoying a SPIRT of spiritual growth.  I have a christian background which was a good grounding I think for beginning to understand the Divine/God and why I am here.  For a time I was very angry with christianity and God.  I no longer really identify with christianity - I can see good things and truths in many religions.  I prefer to call myself spiritual rather than religious. 

It is as if previously I was looking at the world through a small knot hole in the wall and saw a distorted view of what is.  Now the windows are open and I am excited to see there is so much more.  I am not saying I have the 'truth' - I don't think anyone has all of the truth.  It is impossible as it is so vast and beyond our limited conception.  Perhaps in the future I might open some doors!  This is a journey of discovery.

I have been exploring all sorts of different activities that previously I would have dismissed.  For example tarot, dowsing and numerology.  I have always loved numbers and after reading some books about this topic did my numerology chart.  Wow!  It was startling how accurately it described my personality and desires.  Since then I have done several friends and family's charts with similar results were people recognise themselves and find help knowing what their challanges and birth path are.

What I am learning now helps me to live my life and to be the best me I can be.  I am finding/remembering now the reason I am here - to learn unconditional love and forgiveness.  I am learning not to judge others because of the path they choose.  I am discovering there is no right way to learn this ... there are many pathways to this landmark - our destination is the same.  My path is not necessarily right for another person.  I have no desire to indoctrinate others.  I do enjoy sharing different ideas.  That is why I have joined this website.  It is good to talk with others with a similar view and to perhaps get more insights and information.

My other passion is cooking.  I tend to read cookbooks like novels.  I have a crisis at present where for the first time my bookshelves are full and I have no more room for new books!!!  Disaster!!!  I have had to go through the difficult process of culling some which is almost impossible.  I love my books.  I cannot imagine a world without books.
