AS NORMAL AS YOU ARE -
WHATEVER NORMAL IS.

What is the catalyst that changes so called ‘normal’ folk into spiritual beings? I guess there is no one answer to that question. For each of us there comes a time when we stop and take a look at where we are and who we are and we’re either happy in that place and time or unhappy and look for alternatives.

At this point I want to make it perfectly clear that I do not believe that any one religion or belief system is better than another. You must always follow the path that you personally choose. People from every religion and from all walks of life can and do embrace spirituality. Goodness lies within every person whether they attend church, pray individually or live their live in holy way. I understand the need for many people to have their church, their faith, their God / Goddess and that should be the choice of every individual. No matter what you call your Higher Being or what words you use to speak to them - your belief system must be right for you and work for goodness and light. You will most likely find that many people you meet who are interested in their own spirituality bring a bit of many different religious teachings into their lives. The answers I was seeking at 16 were to do with boyfriends, girlfriends, who I liked, who I didn’t. Who liked me, who didn’t. What to wear, what hair colour this week, what I wanted to do when I left school etc.

At 17, I began work as a Pharmacy Sales Assistant and met my future husband. Different issues surrounded me then. What would he think of my dysfunctional family? What sort of future did I want? Was this the man I would spend the rest of my life with, have children with?
