A Few Simple Desires
Within this site lies the fragile underbelly of who I am... my likes, dislikes, loves, favorite things... so many truths that barely show for the people in my life. I've had many muses, yes... but none so powerful, so pure and so precious as my soulmates. Soulmates, you may ask? Yes, soulmates - plural. Each of us has more than one, sometimes several. The backlash is that we rarely meet them in our lifetimes. I've been beyond blessed to have not only encountered some of mine, but I have them in my everyday life, in one capacity or another. My best friend/sister of over 45 years, Sean... my very special someone, Kimberley... a very close friend/etc I rarely see or talk to, but OMFG, when we meet up it's like we've never been apart, Rene, and another very close friend I rarely talk to, but man, oh man, when we do talk it's like picking everything up from precisely where we left off, Jeannie... each is above all for me. My commitment to all of my soulmates is to need, want, respect, cherish, admire, protect, take care of, support, and love unconditionally and without end.
My most important desire is to be accepted for who I am. I am Wiccan (with/empath/healer), I am a lesbian, I am a gray solitary eclectic witch/empath/healer, I am disabled, I am a Gemini, I am sarcastic and brutally honest with a twisted sense of humor and a dirty mind, I am Pro-Choice, and I'm proud of it. I am an active voter and a Liberal Democrat. Everyone should have the rights and acceptance they deserve, and no one should be punished for being who they are, even if they are different by any standards. Race, gender - or lack thereof, religion - or lack thereof, national origin, sexual orientation, political affiliation... all are superficial. We're all human... we're all connected to each other and every matter of life around us.
I love the tranquil romance of moonlit nights... the symphonic fury of thunderstorms in Autumn... the peaceful solace of snowfall of Winter... the humbling reminder of the mountains... the soft kiss of fog in the morning... the freedom of the wind... the serenity of the forest... the embrace of the ocean... the magic of sunrises and sunsets... the awe of aurora borealis... the lure of the city... the open road...
Music (all kinds)... movies... TV... writing... cooking... reading... games of almost any kind... cars... sports in general, but mostly football (GO, SEAHAWKS!)... fonts... computers... the love of friends... communication... reaching out to help those in need... my family, who are all chosen - both those close to me and those far away, my love and gratitude are endless... being a foodie... trying new beers, whiskies and other such spirits... wildlife, especially dogs, birds and sea dwellers... weather phenomenon... blah, blah, blah. Moving from Coos Bay, OR to Puyallup, WA has taught me that home isn't four walls, a roof, a floor, and an address. It's who you share it with. My home has five heartbeats, including my own, and I couldn't be happier.
Merry meet and thank you for visiting my realm. Take care, be well, and please feel free to come back as often as you wish. I am constantly striving to make the realm a worthwhile place to visit. I hope you will find something helpful, something informative, or at the very least something memorable among these pages.
Your presence is greatly appreciated here ... Much Love And Many Bright Blessings To You All - Namaste,
Lieren
