The weather is cooling and football is on. My poor husband has become a football widower! I'm excited about some upcoming activities in my life, including traveling to Orlando to visit my 2 oldest sons. Then I get to come home and begin joint replacements, due to having the autoimmune disease Psoriatic Arthritis. Leave it to yours truly to be so blessed! I am learning to be a better wife and mother, being part of a start up group of women who are going to meet weekly to do something productive, since I am unable to maintain employment due to health issues. It will be the first time since I was 11 years old that I have not worked outside the home. Well, OK, there were 3 temporary times off after I had my sons.
I pray and believe that my sons will find their dream wives and maybe be a grandmother someday.
My religious beliefs are probably like none other, with a solid understanding of Judaism, but choosing to remain with the religion of my birth, Christianity. If you know me, you will understand that I have come to believe in an inclusive God, who loves all of his creation, regardless of how they relate to him. I will offend some when I say that I believe God created us perfectly, and have a special love and acceptance for gay and bi-sexual people. We will all have a place in "olam h'bah", or life in the world to come. I lean toward Jewish thought here.
I have become more of a centrist politically, though I tend to be slightly right of center, but only a tad bit.
Life can be good, it is what we make it.
And for Pastor Sparky, I am at the Threshold.

Who, What, When, Where and Why
- I am at a major pivotal point in my life. The years of moving everywhere, being a flight attendant, mothering 3 sons, one of whom is a Hodgkin's Disease survivor, divorce, being lonely, remarrying, reconnecting with my religious faith and now finding myself with health issues, all have changed and molded my world view, personal choices, allowed me to reject intolerance of people based on race, gender, sexual preference, and entering a new phase in my life.
- I think it will be very therapeutic for me to blog. Hopefully I can write and deal with challenges and issues while pursuing wholeness.
