Creating: I want to help in some way to change people's minds. Changing people's minds changes the world. This can be one person at a time or in bulk- it really doesn't matter as long as I do my part somehow either by raising kids who will help somehow, or cleaning up a littered park, or writing a story that inspires someone to do something important, or whatever.... On a personal note, I want to help myself too and my family. The self sabatage I mentioned before still happens even now, even after all I have learned.
Awakening: I have always been spiritual. When I was a child Christianity was all I knew and my faith was strong there, even when the religion scared me or didn't make sense. I knew inside of myself that there was more to everything- there was a reason I would dream something and it would happen, there was a reason I could mentally sabatage or help myself (mostly sabatage), why sometimes my pen would write on its own conveying to me messages from another space.
My rosary beads used to glow at night...
At the same time I was always interested and drawn to the occult as well. My friends and I would try and contact ghosts and enter one another's dreams. In young adulthood, I became very connected to Nature and studied Wicca. At 21, I had a full fledged spiritual awakening. I was laying on a large rock at the site of a Native American calendar site (or so they say that is what it is) and more happened there then I can write out but suffice to say I was never the same. Christianity or any organized relgion was history for me. I saw the truth in all of it. I saw myself in everything and everything in myself. And after that everything I read, saw, or experienced verified what I learned that day.
I'm not sure what to say about myself. I am 32 and a mother of two. I was born an empath (which was hard at first) and always had an innate sense of the spiritual plane. That plane has always been more real and more important to me than the physical. I was raised Christian and had amazing faith through the worst of times. At 21 I had a spiritual awakening while on a hike and experienced a great flood of knowledge and had visions. A new world opened up for me. I saw how everything and everyone was connected. I accepted and loved myself for the first time. I knew the truth in all religions and spiritual practices. I was at peace.
Since then I have drifted off the path a bit and come back again several times but I never lost what I was given on that day in the mountains.
I've worked as a counselor and I think when I connect with people on an emotional and spiritual level I can truly help them. In this way I think I am a healer of sorts, or at least I would like to think so, that I have helped people. I studied transpersonal psychology in college so I could continue this work but right now my work is raising two children who will hopefully, one day, help to change the world.
I spent a year studying the Tarot at one point, I practiced Wicca for many years, Tibetan Buddhism is close to my heart, as are Jesus and many others.
I'm eclectic, a collage of the spirit.
I recently read New Earth and am trying hard to shed my ego and consciously change my life and the world for the better.
I suppose that about sums it up. When it comes down to it, I am nothing, just another life form flopping about for a brief time trying to figure things out. Just another piece of everything...

Girls are
like apples on a
tree. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
Some boys don't want to reach
for them because they're afraid of
falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
reach for inferior, low-hanging fruit or worse
yet, they get the rotten apples off of the ground
that aren't good at all, just easy. Some of the truly
beautiful apples way up high may begin to think or
feel that something may be wrong with them, when
in reality, they're simply amazing! And as they ripen
to perfection, they realize that all they need to do is
just wait for the right boy to come along; the one
who is brave enough to climb all the way up
to the very top of the apple tree. Do you believe you are a brave enough person to reach for the one you
truly love?
