News from the far write

Lately my blog posts have been sporadic at best,  an I do apologies for this. I have not forgotten you all, I promise.  What has been  happening is I have been quite busy lately doing a serious overhaul concerning my personal relationships offline and preparing for my new baby. Yes, mid September will see my beautiful baby boy become an older brother.  This isn't very far away, so I am in the process of expanding my writing as well as watching for new opportunities to work from home so I can continue to provide for my family. This has put the majority of my spiritual and academic work on hold, which has been a little bit frustrating.  I will admit to not being quite as patient as I ought to be, but I am working on it. No one is perfect, there is always room to improve and learn.

For writing,  I have been doing my best at a website called textbroker. It's a good place to begin a writing career,  and they are constantly updating the pool of possible writing assignments.  The team there ia very professional and will get back to you quickly if you ever need help. The other place I am currently writing is much more informal and operates as a social Bubblews (http://www.bubblews.com/account/349570-shilo) bit like Tumblr, and I have been having fun on it. Not only that, but these people pay you for activity on your page. It's not much at first, but it can add up. This blog will be more my take on how the universe works than a blog of my personal life,and much more varied in terms of topics. 
Hope life is treating all well in the mean time.
Bb and have fun

May the nutty be with us

There is so much crazy shit going on around here it's amazing.  However I'm going to try to keep it short.
The good news is my little one has successfully begun his transition into pre-k, and is most likely eligible for special services.  This will be a blessing,  especially when we can start speach therapy.  I just wish he could tell me what he's thinking.  He tries,  but it's just not English that comes out. With his little brother due in just under two months,  any improvement will help.
I may have a consulting job at a local coffee shop in the making. I may have to have a group of friends over, maybe an otherkin or ace gather to help them get started. They do have cake, so I'm leaning towards an ace gather.
However my jobs on textbroker are now few and far between.  It is as if no one needs work and it doesn't help that I am still have the lowest rating. Hopefully that will be improving soon, but I am hoping to branch out. With a little research and hard work, it will happen.

Things have been quite odd here. It is the calm before the storm in terms of the impending implosion of my life. In the space of time I have been given to try to figure out a few things in my life. One of the most interesting things I have been able to go over is my spirituallity. Though I am completely convinced there is something to the concept of Divinity,  I often find myself unconvinced that this divine being is something that we would be able to understand,  or even be able to directly notice and interact with us. To completely complicate this is the fact that I can't accept a spiritual concept that defies science. There is plenty of parts of my spiritually that can't be verified by science,  but most things that defy science just bother me and I can't put a finger on why. It just seems the best way go about creating a stable reality.
Despite this, there is something that tells me that divinity dose exist, just not in quite the anthropromorphic sense most faiths portray their creator deity as. I am a bit of a henotheist/politheist and it has been almost as interesting a journey to take as it has been difficult to explain.  Perhaps when I come to a better understanding of where I am going spiritually I will be able to figure out how it all fits together.

More and more transitions

I have been a very quiet blogger for many reasons, however a dull life is not one of them. Though this is not a good time to go into details,  I will say there have been several stressful transitions and it is far from over. The good news is my little ball of charm has been able to get into an early intervention program to help with some of his attention issues. They are looking to test him for Autism as well, because despite being much more social than many people on the Autistic spectrum he does have a lot of the markers. I was only recently able to get him in so we are only at the beginning stages now. I can't wait until speach therapy can kick in. I know it may sound odd to many of you, but I want him to be able to tell me he's angry, rather than just cry, yell 'no', and bang his head on things. In my personal life, I am looking high and low for a few good ways to make a living from my home. With one hyper tot here, and one due in September it's simply not practical to attempt to get a traditional job I commute to yet.

With all of this going on, I have had no real time to work on anything spiritually.  I do believe i may have a few more ideas of some past lives, and the family I had in them, but I am not overly sure. The description of 'Elf' still fits the best, though through my interactions with others I often suspect there is more than just that. It will just take time, which is something I am often quite short of. In terms if what, if any religion or pantheon i am going to completely follow, I do now know that I feel at home around Egyptian deity, and that some of the best inspiration for staying strong has come from the Norse Heathens though to he perfectly honest,  sometimes it's just inspiration from some of my favorite science fiction stories. All of the people who just keep trying,  even when there is no good, clean way to fix a mess.

I would stay longer, but it seems my son will be awake any moment now. Have a lovely day, all and blessed be,
Shilo
