Livin' the Pagan Life

Hello cyber world. No updates in a long time! Nothing big happened, mundane life just got in the way. New job going well. Still enjoy where we are living. The wheel has turned once again and we are enjoying summer like weather here in Maine. I'm lucky enough to have a lot of birds near my complex, and lovely trees. We also have a deck which I love to sit on and write. My spirituality has again taken a back seat, as often it can, when "real world" worries come in to play. I don't like putting that part of me on pause and I am working on incorporating it all together.

I love knowledge. Its been a year since I graduated from grad school and I'm getting the itch to learn again. So, I got some books on tarot, therapeutic touch and natural healing. I've really enjoyed them! I definitely want to keep reading, and even better they came from the library so I didn't have to spend any money. My skills for tarot are developing, as are my reiki/therapeutic touch. I'm not trained in reiki, yet. Basically right now its a money issue. Hopefully this summer I can get reiki I.

My boyfriend and I are working on developing our dream...owning a pagan shop/community center where classes are offered, groups, workshops and of course reiki, readings and the store. We are really excited, and a recent tarot card reading I had signified that this was "what I was meant to do". I've always wanted to be a child therapist, and right now I'm doing family therapy. The tarot reader said I'd do child therapy, but I'd think it wasn't what I thought it would be, and we'd start the business. Also, my boyfriend got into college to study business. He already has a degree in theater, but has had a horrible time finding a job. (He'd love to do theater, but realizes he can't make a living that way). So, he's going to learn the ins and outs of owning/running a business. I am very proud of him. A while ago, he got a reading from one of our pagan friends, who said he'd have his own shop when he's 30. He's almost 27 now, so it makes perfect sense. I'm really excited.

I've also been paying attention to a yahoo group I joined years ago, Central Maine Pagans. They are now hosting a coffee talk in Augusta that I want to check out. There will also be a central Maine pagan pride day in October which will be neat.

Ok fellow path seekers, off to earn a living!
Many blessings!
