Amazed...

I am completely blown away by the out pouring and resounding affect that my last post has had on my precious readers! Truly, I feel blessed beyond words to know that something so very near to me has touched so many of you. 

One reader spoke up and mentioned how she is shunned because of who and what she is. This post is dedicated to her and all the others who have dealt with such judgement.

I used to spend all the energy I had inside me just to hide what I was and what I believed. It wasn't until 2 years ago when Daddy and I moved into our new home that I could be 100% authentic! What I had come to realize is that all that energy I spent hiding who I was wasted. It manifested itself as depression and stress. Believe me, stressed Momma Witch is NOT someone you want to be around. 

I am one of the lucky ones, I'm not really "shunned" by my family. However, I do have to deal with the constant "oh it's just a phase", "You'll come back to Christ one day", and my personal favorite (via my grandmother) "You're still a Christian, really."

My mother lives by a don't ask, don't tell policy. It works for her and keeps her happy so I don't push it. Because when it comes down to it...my Truth is personal to me and I'm not about to force it on someone else.

I have come to realize that outside validation is NOT needed. It is greatly appreciated and accepted, but it's not required. I am who I am. And damn it all, I am proud of the woman and witch that I have become. 

Even if you are not of the pagan path, be proud to stand tall and say these are the things I believe!

Stand Proud my readers!
Brightest Blessings to you all!
