Hi everyone,

   I'm sorry for the lack of updates, my scanner isn't workin' right so the "Twisted Whisker" part of our program has been delayed. Sorry! I thought that I'd let you all know how my new year has been shapin' up so far.....

My new year started out kinda slow and sucky. Heehee! We didn't go anywhere, as everyone was in a lousy depressing mood. Me included! I made one new year's resolution which was a big deal because I NEVER make them. My resolution was/is to find my personal spiritual path. The one that's right for me.

So far, it seems that Wicca is the closest to my beliefs, and yet not completely. It's hard trying to find your way spiritually, isn't it? I believe in only ONE God, but I also believe that God is genderless and is in everything. A part of all creation. I feel closer to nature and animals than I have ever felt to humans. I am conflicted but am more at peace now then I was this time last year.

Now, what has been bothering me since last night is this: I was looking for information on Wiccan deities and went to a website that seemed to spill hatred and intolerance towards wiccans. It upset me greatly and now I find that I'm unsure of letting anyone know when and if I decide to follow the wiccan way. The person writing on this website says he's a christian and likes to use sections of the bible to get his points across. That's one of the reasons why I have never liked organized religion for me. Anyone can twist the bible into meaning whatever they want it to mean. I don't believe that is right or fair. I find that trying to find my place in the spiritual world is harder because of people like him and it makes me angry and extremely sad......

Follow your heart. Don't listen to other people. Allow yourself to be you without any judgements. Whatever you decide to believe in or not to believe in is none of anyones business. You listen to, believe, and follow the path thats growing inside your heart and you'll find peace. People can be narrow minded, judgemental, and afraid ... then they tend to get ugly. Don't let those types of people change YOU. Don't give anyone the power to change you, sweetie. :) Im proud of you. You keep learning, keep searching, and peace will come. I assure you.
