With the New year now here, we have all did our reflections into the past, present and future. We have all decided on some level to better ourselves in some matter. I have reflected in the past year and while there are somethings that I didn't accomplish, I am very happy with who I am at the moment. I tried to find the words that best describe who or what I am. And the Best that I could assemble is 'Pagan Nerd Hero". I am without a doubt a very dedicated pagan that has placed a lot of time , money, effort into my way of life. I think everyday of pagan concepts and what projects to work on. When I go to a local consignment shop, I am always asking myself what here has a pagan flare to it. The Nerd is easy to tell you about, I go to the book store and I get reference books along with my pagan books. One of my latest books is "The New York Public Library Desk Reference." Warrior is the last word that describes me. I have decided long ago that I will stand for what I believe in. I will not let friends get in the way of what is right. I sign petitions, print and voice my opinions anywhere I feel it is needed.
My journey in being a Diamond in the rough has been achieved. I am not the nicest person, I lack some of the basic social skills that others dwell on. But I am valuable, I work hard on everything that is important to me. I extend my hand to help others that need it. My knowledge in many topics is growing, I have so much to learn it is scary. I don't want to be one of those polished refined people, because they are expected and required to work on such a higher level and with such poise. When you are still a little rough you can handle the difficult matters with a rougher plan. I am more able to think outside of the box, because I have the ability to react more openly and without restraint.
Tomorrow I have a busy day planned, I will be creating many more videos for my YouTube Paganism 101 series. I made a decision to be more of a teacher, I spent a day making 11-23 lessons , I was being general in topic, only explaining the basics of the various topics. A three minute video is not what I want to use to teach people. So I am scraping those videos and redoing many of them tomorrow. I am wanting to help those that are just starting out understand the basics and help them be better pagans.
I am in planning mode for a mini pagan garden. The plan is to find the large wooden barrels that people use for planting and create a mini garden out of it. I am going to create a stone cairn out of some flat rocks from Springbrook. I am also going to find small figures and pebbles to make a mini meditation garden that I can Astral travel to. Then in the rest of the garden I am going to plant some herbs. Because I have to be creative, I am also designing glass flowers for the back yard. I have a collection of blue and green wine and vodka bottles. I am going to connect the old fashioned glass power line bases to the bottles and give them the look of glass flowers.
I am very glad that the holidays are over, that means that the stress levels for not just myself but for most of society are down. Things can go back to a normal rhythm and life will be even more wonderful. Yes I a can look in the mirror and be happy with who I am. Some things I didn't finish last year, so I must push myself harder. I can do it, I will be stronger and better in 2013.
My advice for you is simple. Don't dwell in the past, but don't forget it either. You can be anything you wish to be. If you can picture yourself being such a person, then do it. Sometimes the small little things are the start we need to better grander things. We set our own limitations, tear down those hurdles and be the best you that you can be.
