"Gichi-manidoo-giizis" or The Great Spirit Moon

On this Janurary full moon, I give thanks and gratutide for the joureny I am on.

Fairies at the market...

I have been recently ganging out with my sister-in-law, LA. We definitely share a level of understanding about the family we married into. I am grateful we have each other and that I have P's family to support us during this big move.
LA and I went to the San Luis Obispo farmers market
bought some organic apples, strawberries and happen to stop at the GALA table. Well, actually I stopped to find out the social calender of my follow gay community, so I could meet ladies of my variety, bi-friendly. The more I live in the central coast area, the more I realize how socially conservative it is. So up onto this point I was a straight married woman (to all of P's California relatives), now I am out. I was concerned about how I would be received by P's step-siblings based on a few rude homophobic commons regarding GLBT identified people on TV. I'll let that ball drop when I am more than ready.
Anyways, LA and I got some frothy hot drinks, had some gourmet chocolate treats, and talked about deep seeded issues from our pasts, and how we have evolved. If the car I was using didn't have the check engine light on and would go over there tomorrow just to gang out.

Oh, yeah...I am going to a ladies chips & chat at the SLO GALA community center..;)

Touched by Sufi wisdom & Pandora's Box

Ever since I danced the 21 praises of Tara and met up with B, I have been using "The Sufi Book of Life" to answer my questions regarding my recent life changes. Doubt and fear crept in for a second or two and I just ask the book not for soothing conformation, but more insight into my sufi-dom. I have put out the word that I am looking for some spiritual friends via witchvox and have surprisingly found a Universal Dance of Peace group in SLO to join. I am yearning to make connections with like-minded people in the areas I enjoy: yoga, bellydancing, goddess spirtuality, ritual dancing, knitting, beading, etc.

Last night, I was wrestling with my desire to reconnect with GR, yet now I live even farther away. I am just trusting the Goddess as a bigger picture to this plan, a mystery I can't see.
