I can see my parents in a few of the people the show has presented, and that frightens me somewhat-- I don't really WANT to live as they did. However, an amusing side effect of watching the show has happened-- every week, after the show, we both start cleaning, going through the closets and more. The local school has benefited from judicious pruning of our library, and art supplies, and the kids nearby have enjoyed gifts of breyer horses, dolls and games we managed to truck from coast to coast without ever really enjoying. You're right, cleaning feels GOOD -- I still like my shiny, pretty things... just not as many of them :D Lately, my partner and I have been watching the show on A&E Network called “Hoarders”.

And about mortality, I think we all think about it much more than want to confess, specially when life is upside-down, as obviously our lives happen to be sometimes (and you know that I know abou it!). It's always wonderful to read your thoughts and feelings here, I simply love your blog. Thank you for your caring words all the time, and for the tips for Lucas' tonsilitis. I'll start giving him this honey&lemon mix - he already takes pure honey once a day, everyday, since he was two. Unfortunately this time, I'l have to start antibiotics again... lots of white spots on his tonsils, aching to swallow, and fever is getting higher.. *sigh* But he'll survive! :o) Kisses andlots of love from us.

It is such a breeze reading your blog since it sounds personal. It's like we know each other. Anyways, Princess Nibbles should take very good care of her oral health once she's able to replace them all. We all know how important oral health is. Kids love getting rewards from the tooth fairy.

There have been so many times in my life that I have felt exactly the way you are describing, waiting for so long with your life on hold and hoping someday you can be who you want to be. It's one of the most depressing, painful places in life to be. In the past year or two, my spiritual work and my yoga practice have been teaching me a lot about how I already am everything I want to be and more. I hope that it may be the same for you. My thoughts and my love to you. Mama Kelly, my heart goes out to you.

I did it myself after my own catastrophic leg injury followed by the death of my father, brother (thus leaving me the only living family I have, bloodwise) and then the deaths in succession of both the mother of my heart and grandmother.... The only way to go through it is to go through it... and to know that yes, there is something better on the other side. ::another long distance virtual hug:: ::extra gentle long distance virtual hug:: Peering at your personal mortality, especially int he face of mental and physical problems and disquiet is never a fun thing.

]]> Comment on Rev. Kendra Hovey Converts (Reverts?) Back to Christianity by Linda http://2witches.com/blog/wicca-paganism/rev-kendra-hovey-converts-reverts-back-to-christianity/comment-page-1/#comment-18237 Linda Mon, 01 Mar 2010 13:07:49 +0000 http://2witches.com/blog/wicca-paganism/rev-kendra-hovey-converts-reverts-back-to-christianity/#comment-18237 I don't remember hearing about her, and didn't know of her interactions with others. What I do feel is that she also is finding her way to God. That is what each of us do. I see that in her letter, she's tried to apologize and explain best that she can, yet it seems as if it causes friction in some people. I don't feel that is her purpose and I believe she has been as honest as she can possibly be. This is her choice. We all make our choices and if we realize that it doesn't work out or doesn't quite make sense, then we make new choices. I wish her well on her path of learning. I have friends and family that are Christians. I"ve met many that are wonderful people. They aren't happy that I don't go to church every Sunday. They look at me as if I'm a lost soul. Does that make me evil somehow? Does it make them more faithful? The truth is I'm more content now than I ever was before, but that doesn't mean that I know everything either. Most people have a perspective and are basically happy with those beliefs. That's okay, but as soon as someone doesn't fit into the pattern, there ends up being a problem. God says not to judge, yet isn't that what everyone does? Isn't this the very reason that wars are fought? God/Goddess/Essence/Holy Spirit (or whatever name you choose to use) loves her, just like God loves you. In my most humble opinion, if we don't see or recognize the "all" now, I have faith that at some point in time we will. I wish you all well.

Hopefully the meds you're taking will help and things will be looking up soon (especially when all the green starts coming in and the sky is blue again.) Have you tried using lavender oil to help with relaxing/sleeping at night? I find it to be very soothing and it does help me to sleep better. Sending hugs your way. :) Sorry to hear you’re having a rough go of it.
