I just finished a really good book by Vila Spiderhawk, Hidden Passages: Tales to Honor the Crones. A fantastic book if I do say so myself. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading it! There was so much wirtten in there that I could identify with that it was kind of spooky. Like she knew me inside and out. Maybe it's because I'm entering those Crone years that I was able to identify with so much in her book, I don't know, but I loved the book.
Just this week, I started the process of enrolling in an online college so I could go back to college, finish my associate's degree and then go forward from there to go on and get my bachelor's degree. I'm so excited about going back to school! It won't be quite the same as walking on campus and being with all the other new students, but it will be exhillerating and I think, very worthwhile.
The man in my life now is, I swear, my soulmate. He seems to know so much about me and I him that it too is kind of spooky. We are almost to the point where we could finish each others' sentences! LOL Of course, he knows me so well too because we spent quite a bit of time together as kids. He and his family lived two doors down from me and my family when we both lived in Fort Myers, Florida. He was my first boyfriend, the first boy I had ever kissed (or that had kissed me) and my first heart break even though I broke up with him. To find out about 30 years later that we both thought of the other, dreamt of each other, and still had feelings for each other was kind of uncanny, ironic and spooky, to say the least. So, now we are engaged, so to speak. Unfortunately, I'm in New Jersey and he is still in Florida. It won't be until at least January of 2008 that I will get to see him again, in person. A picture is nice, but the real thing is always better. Right? We will see how things go from there, but I'm sure wedding bells are in the future for us. Yay for me again!
My son, Allen, graduates from college this December. I'm a proud mama that's for sure! Of course, this too makes me feel as though I am entering my Crone years. LOL Other than my father, no one else in our family ever went or finished college before, so he will the first. As far as I know, even on my son's father's side, no one else has gone to college or graduated either, so another first for him!
Ok, so that's about it for me for now. Gonna go and read my e-mail and see what's new with everyone else.
Blessed Be everyone!
