When I started this blog, my intention was for it to be a bit of me, a view of my life & the various people who inhabit my landscape, through my eyes. I have spent years squashing myself into pidgeon holes - corporate, mum, whatever..I was really looking forward to the chance to say fuck it, I don't care what anyone thinks, this is me.
This has proved a little difficult. I've been holding back.
My interests are many & varied. If you look at the blog roll in my profile you will see blogs on parenting, decorating, art, photography, gardening, thrifting, home life, craft, cooking, furniture restoration, upcycling, &....witchcraft. Yes, I am a little bit pagan. But as I have mentioned before, it's not the only thing that defines me. I am first a mum, & a wife. This 'new' strand in the fabric will not be a surprise to the people that know me - if I haven't actually told them they might have guessed by the tarot or rune reading they requested & recieved, my kooky joy in the seasons & the moon's phases, or the house full of crystals. Or one look at my bookshelf, for heaven's sake!
And anyway, this new strand? Not so new. Been there for about 25 years.
I have remained quiet for many reasons but mainly the fact that my children go to an excellent catholic school & I really don't want to rock the boat for them by upsetting any parents who are less then tolerant. Before that I remained quiet because I was worried about prejudice in my workplace. It's not like we are talking about a massive deal - I haven't been passing myself off as catholic while secretly kissing satan's arse. I'm not that much of an arse kisser. Truth be told, I've kinda liked hugging this part of me to myself. It's just that lately I've felt that I have been leaving stuff out, in case I was outing myself. And that did not feel right.
So what is new around here? Not much, business as usual. Trying to get laundry done & maintain my sanity in week # 6 of very rainy school holidays. Wondering what to cook for dinner that will integrate Teenage Daughter's vegetarianism & Mr BC's love of red meat. Gathering photos togethor for a post on the vege garden (I know, I promised ages ago), excited about the Greek Orthodox 'Blessing of the fleet' festival that we are going to tomorow, checking my craft supplies for the unwieldy amount of projects I have on the go, & lighting a candle for some peace & harmony in this house of chaos.
