Though i agree a spoken wish may not come true... so...
I hope enlightenment for the ignorant...
I hope love and happiness for the lonely...
I hope everyone could learn to live through expressing love, compassion and understanding!!!!
 

Though I don't remember much of my childhood... I think the one person who helped formed the me i am now would be my Nanny (my fathers mother). Aside from her sisters always telling me that i remind them of her... and i do (inevitably)  have some similar traits of both parents... she is the one i believe i recieved the most love and understsnding.
Family that knew both of my parents still wonder where i got my sense of selflessness and understanding. Though i only had my Nanny till i was 5... she was my world!
Since her... i have essentially learned about life on my own... though i am not saddened or complaining! Had i not gone through the things i did, and i went through some stuff... again, i don't think i would be the me i am now.
My parents had their own issues to deal with, which i learned of  when i was in my 20's... and i had forgiven both of them before they died.
So aside from my Nanny... i would like to thank not only her but the Dieties for making me who i am today.

Some one to listen to my issues. I am the one others come to for advice, an uplifting word, answers, a positive spin on life or a situation. Yet i can't not help others.

Waking up and knowing i will face the challenges of the day with a positive attitude.... though it isn't always easy!

I believe in Higher beings... I DON"T believe in organized religion or that any book written by MAN is the word GOD. But i do believe that the stories from said books, like fairy tales have lessons that teach a type of morality.

As aweful as it is to suffer... i believe everything we go through in this life is to teach us lessons... though sometimes it is difficult to glean the messages... through reflection on can find the lesson each situation offers. As long as we stay open to these lessons... the suffering, i refuse to say will go away... but as long as we have learned from our past suffering... it is less likely we will have to suffer the same thing ever again.
So yes as aweful as it seems... i have found there is much value in suffering.

Myself, my guardian angels and the belief system i have intergrated into my life. Throughout my life i have had to face many "bad" things, and had to deal with things at an early age.... but no matter how much i have suffered or dealt with... something always. happens to turn the situation around to the positive. Learning from every situation i have faced, has helped me become the empathetic, understanding person i am today

I don't believe there is any  religion that has a true grasp on "spirituality". Any religion that believes in a book that...."MAN" has written, passing it off as "GODS" words... doesn't sit well with me. Anyone who knows a bit about the history of our earth knows almost societies began Matriarically! AND in most of those said books... WOMEN seem to be the root of all evil (but i won't get on that soapbox...). So I have my own beliefs and even though i don't believe God wrote the books... I believe the stories of Jesus are a good guideline as to how to live my life. No i am not a "Christian" in the conventional sense... as i do not believe Christ was God in human form... i believe the books are written as a guideline to teach morality. So most of my spirituality is from my own lessons of life and little ouside influence. I have my own faiths and beliefs... i don't need someone to tell me how and what i need to believe... I just do... in my own way.

Being home! The world and people can be overwhelming! Not to say i am not a social person, i am... but people are so self absorbed... unable to see past themselves i find most of them rude and obnoxious (think of shopping during the holidays). No one knows how to say...Excuse me, Please... Thank you... etc. they'd just as soon bump. hit, run you over before giving anyone but themselves a bit of kindness... So when i go home to my kitties and they are so glad i am home... that's my peace.

No... absolutely not. That would mean that my journey to spiritual enlightenment would end. As one who believes in reincarnation, I believe in each life there is a lesson we need to learn... and to live forever would be the end to that spiritual journey.

I call my intuition my "MINI-ME". In that when someting is off, or not right, or plain wierd... my sub/conscious lets me know. And so far when mini-me has something to say... I listen and i am usually right about whatever situation... and i repond depending on the situation and what my internal intuition says.
