Who am I? Seems like a pretty simple question, but I don't really know the answer. I guess the best answer I can think of is that I am a spirit having a human experience. And, what an experience this has been so far!

I am Mom to 12 cat kids. They allow me the honor of taking care of them. They all wandered in at some point, and just decided to stay. I am very blessed to have been chosen as their human.

My day job is in retail. I work as a Shift Supervisor for CVS. My night job is working as a Hospice volunteer, and in my spare time, I offer my services as a Community Minister, a once a month hot meal, and a clothing closet to the homeless and needy in my area.

I call myself a Unitarian Universalist and a Pagan, but in reality I am not at all religious... the pathway I choose to follow is spiritual and eclectic. I love the study of religion and philosophy. We can learn so much about each other if we just stop and listen. You can check out some of my ponderings at Bellaonline. I write the articles for the Spirituality site.

I live in New England, and would never be able to live anywhere else. I love the changing of the seasons.. there is so much beauty in nature!

Our society is fast paced, stimulating and very demanding. We are constantly being bombarded by work and family pressures. Working parents are often torn between the financial and advancement opportunities provided in their work environment, and the conflicts which that advancement would create in terms of balancing family responsibilities. We feel that we are under pressure to achieve it all.

We often push so hard forward we get caught in the stress and strain and our bodies and minds cease to function efficiently. Our spirit becomes weary also, and we lose our wonder, joy and delight ...
