Experiences and Practice...
Maybe I should get a couple of Wiccan/Witchy/Pagan icons anyway, because it looks like I might start talking about that a lot more on here than on LiveJournal.
That teaching thing (which I love, and I love our students, yay!) is making me want to submerge myself more into my spirituality. I want to do daily devotions and prayers and practice. I want to live it, I don't just want to be a brain that knows it.
For me, living my spirituality means at all levels, and maybe that is why I find it tedious (which it shouldn't be, it should be something to be enjoyed...). In order to have a healthy spirituality, my body also has to be healthy, so I need to exercise more, and eat better. My mind also has to be healthy, which it mostly is (lol, we're all a little bit insane, so no worries there), but I need to meditate to keep it that way.
If and when I do have children, I want to bring them up in this religion and way of life, always leaving room for them to seek out their own path, though. I want them to have a solid spiritual foundation, and they can't have that if I don't have a healthy spirituality myself.
