Coming out of the Closet

I've been on a very long journey inward. 7 years. The journey isn't finished.

However, I've decided that I needed to come out and start speaking. For so long I've been growing this baby inside of me.

Perhaps what I've created is too large. In these days where niche marketing is all the rage, I went the opposite direction.

I'm talking about one of my websites. The My Living Home website.

I thought it was going to be a place where tradesmen could find work. Where independent tradesmen could post their ads

I had first written a business plan. The website was supposed to be a bridge between the tradesman and the homeowner.

 It was odd, as I knew very little about tradesmen. However, I had met someone. Isn't that the way it always is with us girls?

Smile And he was a tradesman!

This was his vision and because it was his, it became mine.  Twin flames I think they call it. The other half of me. Not that he likes the idea Smile

 This is starting to be the beginning of a long story, so I have to figure out a way to end it but,

suffice it to say that the being who was mute til she was nearly 5 has finally decided to speak out in the public forum!

Thank you for letting me have a place to bare my soul. I love Artella and Marney and I'm sure I'll love all of you!

Hi, welcome to Artella!

Wow, you have done alot of research in many different spiritual areas. I also like to learn and read about many areas myself.

I personally was not brought up in any one particular religion which is why I think I can embrace and have a open mind to continue to search and learn from all.

If it feels right when I hear and read it, I'll stay and learn from it, but if my heart tells it different, I can let me go just as easily. Being open, I feel makes us well rounded as a person.

Anyways, welcome, come check me out if you want. Everyone at Artella is friendly and helpful, just ask for what you need and someone will respond!

Welcome Adriana! You have been on a very long journey indeed. Artella is a wonderful place to express yourself, whether that be with your art, words or spirit... one can't help but this a caring and safe environment to bare their soul or find plenty of help "birthing" their next creative project or idea. Looking forward to hearing more from you soon!  ~Lori
