“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
Some of you may know that I have been taking a class for the last several weeks up at Rainy’s Mystics in San Marcos. It has really helped put some aspects in my life into perspective and I have really made a lot of progress on my life path.
With that, I want to extend an invitation, to all who are interested and able, to attend our little ‘graduation.’ Our class will be showcasing what we have learned in respect to Spirit communication and developing our connection and intuition. We will be giving free platform style messages to all who attend. This is not the same as a 15 or 30 minute reading, just a 1 or 2 minute message from Spirit as we are directed to give it. I’m really nervous that I won’t be able to connect because I still have some confidence issues that I’m working on, but it will be a good time anyway.
The date is Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm.
Ugh! What a wonderfully mind numbing weekend. PantheaCon is finally over and I am home happy, safe and sound. It was SO overwhelming at first and I had a really hard time on Friday. After a 90 minute yoga session, a new crystal to carry around in my hand and a good night’s sleep I was doing much better. I did also learn a new technique on Saturday morning for putting myself in a hamster ball and that worked really well for me at that moment but not so much later on. This work I’m currently doing on myself is really having it’s way with me and I have been working really hard lately. Results are slow but coming along nicely now.
I have a butt ton of topics I want to write about. I have had many conversations with wonderfully enlightened people who actually exercise common sense and…..understand me and the way I think! Go Figure!! I have had the opportunity to have actual discussions about topics not normally discussed in my personal relationships, have people explain their viewpoints and still say ‘Hey, I understand where you’re coming from. I just don’t agree.’ Sound familiar?
I would very much like to give a list of the classes I took and brief a impression on those classes and teachers. If you’re not interested, check this out.
Oh boy…where did they go wrong? Did they take a wrong turn a couple of years ago and just stay on the wrong path or were they always this way? I have no idea because I only made it to last year’s and this year’s event. Last year’s 1/2 sucked and this year’s totally sucked.
I know what you’re thinking. It’s easy to criticize something when I’ve had no part in it and don’t understand what’s involved and blah blah blah. WRONG! I have put on a Pagan Pride event and not as a general volunteer either, but as a coordinator. Yes, the event was smaller. No, we didn’t have the turnout that they do but it was a new event and I did it with about 15-20 other people, if not less!
I was very disappointed this year. I know the volunteers have worked hard and I know the stresses involved. But come one! For all of the preaching about ‘What This Event Is Supposed To Be About’ by a certain someone there, it sure has become about something else, if it ever was about education to begin wth. I didn’t learn anything significant about being Pagan that would benefit someone who is NOT Pagan. Everything there is for Pagans. I’m sorry, but isn’t that so NOT what this event is about? Isn’t it about educating the public about true and valid paths so that we can rid the world of the misconceptions? Hmmm….Guess not.
I could have saved gas and went to my local mall and had the same experience.
One thing I can say about San Diego’s Pagan Pride Day, you will learn something. And you will have fun. And you will interact with others. And you will have a great time.
Unless, of course, you’re there to shop. Then you’ll be disappointed with their measly 10 vendors, whereas LA had 80. 80 of the same things over and over.
Oh well, lesson learned and I don’t believe I’ll be going back next year.
