Hi there,
I was very happy to read about the women and their feelings about spirituality in the December issue of Real Simple.

My choice for religion is Paganism.
I didn't grow up in a Church, Mosque or Synagogue. The great outdoors of my childhood set me at ease and taught me a lot of who I wanted to become when I grew into womanhood. Today I am a mother of two great open-minded girls so it's best for me to teach my children to contiue to think outside of the box. I too looked for a spiritual home for my daughters and myself. Paganism is just right for us.

I love this Earth Based Faith! It helped me to understand the importance of caring for the planet for my children and my children's children. Also the fact that this religion focuses on a female Goddess figure as the one with power, strength,love, beauty and respect was enough for me to read more about it.(I'm a single mother) Planting trees and recycling are vital for future lives on this planet. I have always been a nature girl growing up. Bare foot all of the time I love and feel the significant energies of my mother, the elements, all animals, gardens, trees and the wilderness. All of my life I have loved LIFE of all kinds. Practicing the original faith feels right for me. Re-connecting with the Earth is a must for our survival.
