I've been on an amazing spiritual journey my entire life - weaving in and out and back into the religion I was raised with (Roman Catholic) but, mostly, getting closer to God.  I'm not a traditional Catholic.  I don't agree with all of the dogma or the "rules," and I incorporate some of the beliefs of other faiths into my own, but I've developed a great appreciation for the rituals and faith that sustained and uplifted my beloved grandmother and grandfather (RIP) throughout their lives.  I try to keep an open mind.  I think that's what God would want.  Otherwise, why would S/He have given us the ability to explore all these amazing ways to develop a relationship with Him/Her?

The one thing I think it's most important to know about me and my beliefs is that I refuse to even entertain the notion that God would reject anyone based upon who they are.  Primarily, I firmly believe that homosexuality is NOT a sin and that God would approve of Gays and Lesbians marrying and raising families.  GOD has never said that S/He disapproves - FALLIBLE MEN with sexual hangups said so, and they weren't qualified to speak for God in the first place.  (They also said that eating shrimp goes against God's will!  Or wearing more than one kind of fabric at a time!!!  Come on, now...  Really??)  How could God turn away from people who live as S/He created them???  We are all Divine beings!  In today's world, we need all the Love we can give and get, no matter how and by whom. 

The REAL evil is generating and perpetuating hatred and bigotry in God's name.

YOU CAN'T AND WON'T CHANGE MY MIND!  I respectfully thank everyone in advance for NOT trying to. 

That said, I'm here to meet like-minded individuals AND folks who may hold different beliefs but can respect others' right to believe differently from themselves.  We don't have to believe the same things, we just have to be loving and gracious to our fellow Human Beings!

I'm also interested in learning more about the metaphysical realm and the means by which we can tap into Spiritual flow during this lifetime.  Meditation, Reiki, herbology and communication with spirit guides have always fascinated me.  Care to teach me what you know?  I'm a willing and open-minded student!
