About Yourself
I am a very spiritual person but I'm not much for religion. What I mean by that is organized religion. I'm not saying organized religion is bad, it just doesn't work for me. Instead in 1996 I asked God to fill me with His spirit and write His word on my heart. To me organized religion is all about limitation, judgement, belonging to a click because it's the thing to do. EXAMPLE: If you live in the south, everyone expects you to belong to a church, otherwise your a heathen headed straight for Hell. I just can't make myself believe that. I mean I've seen lots of people in church who go home and beat their family members, get drunk, cheat on their spouse, go out and date rape women, rob banks or stores, rob their neighbor. Or let's not be so drastic, let's just think about the person who goes home after church and screams and yells at their family all night, or is so selfish that they can't see beyond themselves so can't comprehend any one else's opinion that differs from their own. Apparently just because we stick a title of church on the side of a building and shoving people in the door is NOT a cure to peoples spiritual ill's any more then labeling a building a hospital cure mental and physical ill's. I believe if I have found inner peace ( peace that surpasses all understanding ), My needs are met, I have compassion in the face of intolerance, I extend a hand to others (even when I'm in need), can accept others' points of view as valid even if differs from mine, If I find joy and laughter even when I hurt so bad I want to scream, then to me I have found God no matter what someone else might think. This works for me, some one else might need religion to find all these points for them. I figure the easy way of relating to this concept is....... I like cats, I love the way they feel, most of their personalities, the fact I don't gotta walk them, ect, ect, ect.......But my sister likes dog, she is great at training them, the company, walking them ect......we both like pets and our choices work for us. I am a very creative person, I draw, sculpt, paint, knit, invent new recipes . I love puzzle and reading, writing poems,editorial, blogs. I love the process of creation on any level. I am sarcastic and often am told I have a warped since of humor, ( YEAH ME!!!!!!) I don't want to force any one to my beliefs nor be forced to their beliefs. I'll argue my points and debate others, absorb some one else's idea and some time agree to disagree cuz sometimes there just won't be a meeting of minds. I like to write the same as I would speak, because it adds my flavor or displays what's really going through my mind at any given time. I am a social being who can't always leave home or go outside due to medical issues. I tried my space but it wasn't what I'm looking for, so I don't go on it. I do have facebook, I keep up with my kids out of state, chit chat a bit, but mostly I play some of the games. It still doesn't seem to be the forum I'm looking for though. Then my best friend introduced me to your site, I think I may have found the forum I've been looking for.
Your Teachers and/or Spiritual Sources of Inspiration
I am taught by everyday life. Every person I meet becomes my teacher or my student. We learn everyday by our experiences, the books we read, the things we think, the company we keep, by changing the aspects of our characters we don't like. Each new day, each new dawn begins a whole new learning experience for me regardless of the medium I learn it from.

I'd better watch out, she may bust her gut before she has her surgery. She was(is?) having a problem at this moment at her sleep study...where they have to hook up a bunch of stuff to her face and head. She has some very small features such as tiny ears with tiny openings that lead to a big area (that can collect a LOT of wax - and makes it hard to withstand a wide range of sounds)...and she's had a previous surgery on her neck where they went in through the front to get to the back, and there is a sizable lump on her vertebra. I'm privy to her doctor visits because I help remember things for her, and I've been her personal massage therapist for... a couple of years now. She has fibromyalgia on an extreme level (to the point now where I don't think it can get any worse) She is very sensitive to the touch, and cannot withstand adhesives for very long. The result of the removal of all the gear is going to cause a lot of pain and scaring. Seriously. The thing she is doing at this moment with her husband is a requirement for her bypass surgery. If anyone reading this can give her a little prayer right now, she could really use it.
Thanks to everyone!
I hope that video doesn't offend anyone. I know it won't for Mel... she's gonna laugh her ass off!!!!

That's why they put the tarps around the pool...
This should help remind everyone of pool safety. Oh, and chlorine is bad and burns in scraped knees...
