28. I answered this already.
35. I believe in the concept/idea of God but I don’t believe that this “God” is some separate entity that controls or punishes us. I think that God is a part of us and how we behave honors or destroys that spirit. I believe that there is power and strength and prayer in most of what we do. I say “universe” to explain what the force is that moves and motivates God but I think that we are capable of building and destroying. Because of that, I make every attempt in my life to live a good and authentic life. I practice kindness as much as I can. I practice good work and surround myself with the same. I slip at times but I make sure that when I slip, I dont’ take anyone with me intentionally. I know that my spirit is slipping when I feel meanspirited and angry. I have to check who is supporting that behaviour and remove them from my universe. I think that all religion is correct. I think that religion is important for ritual but not necessary for loving God. I don’t believe in heaven or hell as a place that you journey to after death, I believe it is a place that we create here on earth. Also, I believe in reincarnation. And I really love the idea of rosary beads and meditation and incense and G-d body and all these other random bits of religion that people collect to find peace and to steady themselves from chaos. And I believe in run on sentences and frosting.
40. Having bipolar II and being open about it rather than hiding. And my wreck of a midsection due to tumors, surgery and pregnancy. I’m getting a tummy tuck as soon as I can afford it or convince someone to pay for it. True fact.
