:cherry_blossom: The Questions :cherry_blossom:

:cherry_blossom: How did you discover your path and how long ago was this?

Well, I discovered my path a long time ago. It all started with family. I was just a little tot when my dad would tell us stories about the elements, the love the Sun and Moon have for us and each other, and about his spirit friend. I was always interested in these stories as a little one. When I was almost 5, my family on my dad's side asked me if I wanted to learn more about everything my dad had told me stories about. I said yes. Not long after my decision was made, my dad got very ill. I was beyond heartbroken but no matter how bad he felt he would always tell us these stories. Because of his stories, love for nature, and my curiosity for wanting to learning more, I started my path at 5 years old. That was about 20 years ago.

:cherry_blossom: How has your path evolved since your journey began?

My path has evolved a lot since I've started. I started on learning the Wiccan path from my family. Once my dad ed away and I went to live with my mom, I had became a Christian Wiccan to make my mom happy. (She wasn't into the Pagan lifestyle.) I would find different ways to be able to practice while still learning about Christianity for my mom. I wasn't completely happy about doing that but I was still able to keep must of my practice a secret from her. In high school, I had more freedom on my choice of spiritual beliefs. I was so happy to go back to my Wiccan roots. I had met a friend who gave me lots of reading materials to read while at school and helped me research online as well to help me find my own path. On my wedding day, I received many gifts including some Pagan items from family. It's was officially my time for my own path as I moved out of my mom's. My path took to the water path not long before I got pregnant and married my other half.

As you can tell, it's evolved a lot and is still changing to this day. :relaxed:

:cherry_blossom: Have there ever been times you felt like giving up your path?

Yes. Unfortunately, there have been times where I wanted to give up on my path due to living with my mom and being in the Bible Belt. Since my dad's family lives in Georgia, I was away from anyone who would me on my path. It was hard. The one thing that kept me going was those stories my dad told me about that I kept close to my heart and my love for the Lord and Lady. There are times even today that are hard as well for family from my mom's family and my in law's strong Christian faith about not ing me in mine, but hey to each their own. Everyone's path is different and sometimes one needs to stand up for their path no matter how hard it is or how much they want to give up. The more you believe in yourself and your path, the stronger you are.

:cherry_blossom: What do you think has been the biggest motivation for you?

My biggest motivation for me, at the moment, is definitely my daughter. She's always so curious about this just as much as I was her age. She's even starting to shows signs I her own interests in her own path! Because of her, I'm now doing more research on different topics that interest her and are now an interest to me. Her curiousness about different stuff has definitely been a big motivation for me right now.

:cherry_blossom: Who has been the biggest influence to your path?

The person who has been the biggest influence to my path has definitely got to be my dad and my daughter. Between my dad starting me on my path just by telling me stories and my daughter by getting me to explore even more, they are both my biggest influences.

:cherry_blossom: What is the most significant discovery you have made about yourself?

The most significant discovery I have made about myself is that I am stronger than I think. I've stood up for myself and my path so many times that I didn't even realize I was strong enough to do that. I never thought I would be able to do that and I actually have several times in my lifetime. I also have stood up for my daughter's right to be on her own path whether it's Christianity, Pagan, or whatever she chooses.

:cherry_blossom: How has your spiritual path changed your life?

My spiritual path has definitely changed my life by the ways I look at different things. Whether it's from life and death to parenting to nature, it's definitely change how I view everything.
