• Thanks to Dread Pirate for throwing down the gauntlet...and to Draig for throwing out the challenge! Actually I took the challenge years ago and am still challenging myself.

  
  

  I am an ex-mormon who is now fully Pagan and who is more at home in her own skin than she ever was attending a Christian church. I try new things, things that were frowned on in church and have found they are not evil! I am not evil nor am I willing to place the responsibility of my actions on anything or anyone but myself! Maybe because I wasn't actually raised in a family of devoted church goers(I didn't join the church until I was 17 and I was the only member), but I always had a difficult time with the concept that "satan" would lead me to do wrong. I guess I never really believed in "satan".  Sorry, I didn't mean to digress and this is not really pertinent to the subject at hand!

  
  

  I love how exciting it is to act outside the comfort zone! In fact, I need to spread my wings and push myself a bit further now! I wonder what my next big adventure will be? Wee Wench is giving me an adventure of getting a butterfly tattoo to celebrate my metamorphosis as well as my birthday in a couple of weeks! This is how I know this is an adventure, when I tell people I have known for at least 3 years that I want and indeed am getting a tattoo, their jaws drop practically to the floor and they look at me as if I have been possessed!

  
  

  Anyway...Thanks to the Cap'n and Draig. This has been an enlightening evening. I enjoy anything that makes me stop and evaluate myself, my goal for this year is self knowledge, every step along the way is another light upon my path!

  
  

  Bright Blessings and warm Fuzzies,
