About Me
Hello friends, Changing my profile , as my life is changing. I've not been very active in Beliefnet recently, and I think my spiritual life has suffered from it. Its so easy to say that we'll pray "later". After breakfast, no, after morning chores or whatever....before you know it its evening and the closest I've come to God is gazing at the sky and thanking him. I fell that without studying God, reading, writing, learning about other religions, its too easy to just be, only running to Him when theres a problem. I'm still not sure where I belong as far as "church family", but I think having one is very, very important. So, I'm am seeking........
I am a woman who lives alone , no pets, just two betta fish and they don't interact with me too much! I tend to be reclusive, and self absorbed. I would like to become more social, as I grow older it seems that the truly important things in life are not things, but people. I am a artist, I love thrift stores, , and finding bargains.....used to be just fun, now its more serious as the price of things go up. My favorite things are the smell of a newborn baby's head, long flowing hippie skirts, yellow butterfly's, red wine, smell of homemade bread, the ocean, the sky, red capes, color, color everywhere.. and people who "pay it forward" ,lots more , but enough for now. I send you all angels of peace and wellness.
"When I dispair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers .and for a while they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall, think of it, always."--Ghandi
