Return of Freedom and Happiness

That last post was discerning. I promise that all is well. I went back to therapy, and my new therapist is a gem. She completely gets what's my beliefs and has a very...zen office that I love. I also got a job, at an equally zen juice/smoothie/coffee bar that I adore. School is out, my exams are over and I finally have some time to myself.

The day after Prom, I was able to have a conversation about Wicca with a few close friends, and one not-so-close friend. It was freeing. I feel so much more able to live in my own skin now that I'm mostly out of the broom closet. I recognize that not everybody can do this, but it is a wonderful gift. I realize that I really know what I practice, because I can answer everyone's questions with grace and knowledge.

I'm healthy again, and doing my best every day. With the help of the Lord and Lady, and a few extremely talented authors, I am reconnecting with my faith and everything around me. I love this time of year, because I feel like I can breathe again. Some days I just lay in the grass and watch the clouds pass over me. It is the most peaceful feeling to feel the Earth breathing under me, and everything filled with life and love and brightness. The breeze in the trees, and the collective smell of the flowers. I don't even mind the bugs. This time of year is also used to reconnect with myself and my body. I'm always healthier during the summer, eating right and exercising as much as I can. This is my last summer before college, and I know that the end of the summer will bring something new and exciting.

Ah, summer. Litha is just around the corner. Life is well, and I'm still doing evening devotions. I re-organized my books and my altar. I tossed all my old school items I wont need anymore. I'm overhauling my life and making room for the new. Why not give it a try?

Blessings,
Ellen

p.s. if you're a follower of my blog, what would you really like to see me blog about? I want this to be tailored to your needs, not mine. Paganism in the news or TV? Misconceptions and how they are handled? What are your questions and concerns? What can we learn together?
