A Gift from My Lover

Cameron and I spend way to much time apart with our conflicting schedules. One way we remain close is photos taken with our camera phones. She just sent me this one; it's so beautiful I had share immediately!

Indeed, this a perfect Lughnasadh gift. In keeping with next week's Sabat, I wanted to think about this first harvest. This year I am harvesting the grains of my hard work. I am half way through my clinical practicum experience and have successfully "graduated" several clients this month. I have been at my job as a substance abuse counselor for six months, and will be able to use vacation time to take my sex ed class next week.

My vision continues to grower clearer for the next steps in my spiritual path. I will begin a fellowship next fall and begin building my business as a lesbian identified, pagan therapist. Mine and Cameron's dream of beginning a spiritual mentorship program for Wicca is beginning to coalesce. We've begun the tentative thought process and private blog to begin working our ideas into a concept.

Moreover, despite financial and school challenges, my relationship with Cameron continues to flourish. Everyday I am more amazed at the fruits of this relationship.

They Call Me the "Cat Lady"

Sometimes a fur baby will announce that he is coming home despite the number of children at your home. Meet Starshine, our newest fur child.

He is named for a calico literary cat, Sharshine, who is part of the Kinsey Milhone series by Alex Matthews. My original Starshine, sister to my familiar Dickens for Charles Dickens, passed away unexpectedly a few years ago. She also was a beautiful orange and white cat.

It became obvious very quickly who would rule this relationship.
