Yesterday Was Busy!
So yesterday was one of the busier days I've had of late which says a lot.
First the repair guy from AT&T came and irritated the living daylights out of me. Then A came to talk Norse Mythology and RPGing. How those go hand in hand can be interesting... He was a half hour late again. I told him if he can't be on time not to come because I am a very busy woman. End of story. Yes, I am that brutal sometimes but I have to be. I wanted to get in contact with the Resource Center and find out if I could hold my Study Groups there rather than here at the house so I can open them to the public. I was going to actually go there... But instead settled for calling. While he was here actually. Which was nice because I had someone to celebrate with when they said yes! I have an appointment to go in tomorrow and sign a contract stating it is for non-profit purposes etc. Go me! Then bardchild came over and stayed the night... She called while I was in the process of making dinner. I made a rather nice dinner to celebrate the whole thing with the Resource Center. Chicken Breasts,Potatoes,&Onions in Vegetable Broth, followed by sweet kraut. monkeyman came home and asked me to make him a batch of cookies... Well actually paid me to make him a batch of cookies. So I baked cookies for him. Then we all did blot. Wow! What a day. By the time the day was over I totally collapsed in bed. I slept like there was no tomorrow(or today?)and dreamed of beautiful things that I don't even think I want to try and articulate. But life is good and all is well with the world. Yup.

Did I mention that yesterday was my youngest son's 18th b-day? Yup it was, and the anniversary of me changing my name legally. So I also called him up at 7pm and wished him a Happy B-Day. Yippee!

Thanks! He's going to come to the next blot! So I'm rather excited about that... Though it will be rather late, that's when we'll be celebrating his b-day in actuality as his schedule has been... Extremely busy. Seems to run in the family. It looks like I'm going to be scheduled to hel and back this weekend which sucks as I wanted to go to the Viking Festival but, I have to see a dr. on Friday, and I am helping someone move on Sat. and of course Lore Study is Sunday. *sighs* I love life don't you?...

So whenever we get to celebrate together is precious.

Belated congrats--so you are now the mother of two well adjusted adult sons! Yay you!

Good news about the resource center, too. That's great. I have always thought we should have public events listed in the newspaper's weekly "religion roundup." Noil disagrees with me, and I see we were yet again lumped in with prisontru and violent racists as a subversive movement. But if we do not stand firm and talk to people, how will they ever know we are not like that, and how will seekers find us?

Frith,
M

This is exactly why I feel it is time to be more public. I have kept my study groups 'for Kindred only' for well over a year now and it has been productive in that I have learned how to run a study group, and I have learned a great deal about what it means to me as to whether I wanted to do so or not. I also have found new aspects to my faith, learned things I didn't really expect to. But, there are a lot people out there who have not found what they are looking for, or who want to enhance their practice in some manner. There are other people who have questions about who and what we are and the best way to answer them is to be there and be available. Recently I have had(in order)one ex ask for help in getting the information on Asatru/Heathenry right for a World Religions paper she was writing which included an interview, attending a blot and numerous phone calls to back up her information as well as lending her several books. I have had another friend ask for help in researching Scandinavian Lore for an RPG(yes really)and stay for more indepth information. And another ex has wanted me to give information on Asatru/Heathenry for her Coven because people were asking questions and she didn't have the answers. There are a lot of poeple out there wanting to know and not enough people willing to give answers. I know that we are being lumped in with the big baddies(prisiontru and nazitru) and it makes my heart ache but if the good quality people would stand forth and be then we would be able to show our true selves to the world it would go a long, long way. I'm not a great fan of associating with the general Pagan folk but it is the only way I really know how to make such progress.

Frith,
