Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here and that you find something worthy of reflection and contemplation in my little blog. It's really more of a personal project, a way of consolidating and categorizing my thoughts, questions, experiences, and questions about life, the Plan of Salvation, and the deep Truths-with-a-capital-T of God.
I love our noble mother, Eve. As with any mother, without her, we wouldn't be here. We wouldn't be who we are. I firmly believe she was courageous, adventurous, insightful, and wise; that she had an inkling of the grand scope of her decision to partake of the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and saw that it was indeed Good; that she has suffered an unjust reputation at the hands of her children through the ages, and the world owes her (and every woman abused or belittled in consequence of that reputation) an eternal apology. If you can't respect that stance, you very well may not like my blog, and I will exercise my right not to tolerate disrespect to her.
However, that's not really to point of this blog. I imagine Eve will be a somewhat rare subject here; there are too many other things on my mind. What I do want to impress upon my readers, though, is the spirit of Eve that I strive for in my life, and how it combines two of my interests into one: my religion/spirituality, and the Wise Woman traditions. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. LDS. Mormon. I am a "crunchy granola" Mormon, to boot, and as part of that, lately I've been studying a lot about Wise Woman tradition. A lot of it fits nicely with my beliefs, some I'm still figuring out, and some I can't yet accept, if I ever do... which is a very Wise Woman thing to say, really. Anyway, a lot of this blog will be about how my non-spiritual and spiritual beliefs collide, coincide, correlate, and coalesce. A lot of it will just be thoughts about beliefs, doctrines, traditions, history, and whatever else crosses my mind. This is my spiritual journal. (Please play kindly. Thank you.)

Thank you for wanting to leave me a message. I hope you've found something I've said edifying, and you'll extend the same to me. Please be positive, I'm not here to argue, but rather to just have a place to write things that I find spiritually uplifting, or share my own ponderings on matters of faith. Thank you.
