Hello everyone...I wanted to make sure I came in to say hello and that I am still out here kicking.

This year has been one that I won't be sorry to close the books on...my mother-in-law passed in January, a dear friend in June, and 3 of my kitty babies since May! When I mention them to those that do not know/appreciate the mysteries of the cat, they think I am crazy. But those were three of my babies. We did go and get 2 more...a crazy little orange male named Will and a beautiful Maine Coon/Ragmuffin named Tatianna (yes, after the play). That makes 7 for us, well...8 if you add the 50 pound Beagle/Foxhound that thinks she is a cat! I know that so many of us have had an equally rough time this year as well...may the Goddess smile down on us and help us make the next year better.

I am at a crossroad right now...I have a wonderful job where I can use my education to really make an impact...I work with great people...yet I want to go back to school and get a degree in history just because I have always loved it and I don't ever want to regret not doing it. Am I nuts?

I also have to make a decision about a group that I am the head of. I get a small stipend each month, and the extra money is helpful...but the stress and hassles...back door politics...and backstabbing is really getting to me and making my heart cold to the group...sigh...

My only resolution for the coming year is this: be a better tenant of this planet. Live green. Live the spiritual path that I desire. And realize that "stuff" does not make me who I am...that comes from my heart and soul.

Sorry for this rant, but I needed to just let this out in a safe place...

Now, as for MSN/Yahoo...I guess I am a bit concerned that MSN will "lose" things if they just transfer to the new format. But, I also know that the Yahoo site was having issues...I say stick with MSN until they close, and then see what happens. Is there anyway that we can archive our site and transfer it somewhere else?

Greetings RavenFey..this HAS been a rough year for you. Its so hard when we lose those we love..it sorta leaves a hole, doesnt' it. Your loved ones would want you to live..and live well.. it was their time..I'm sorry for your loss..
As for your precious kitties..I don't think that your crazy and your new kitties sound absolutely adorable..love and enjoy them to the fullest...
As for your job..the one that your educated for..I believe theres a reason as to why you feel so passionate about going back for History.. you sound like your really drawn to do this.. when you speak about your *job* you sound greatful for having a job..you sound passionate about wanting to make an impact, there are good people..but you sound frustrated..and I feel a yearning for something.. is it possible you may of learned or gotten all that you need to maybe better or prepare yourself for something else? Having a job is important..to pay the bills etc.. if you an an opportunity to do something you really want to do.. sweetie..I think that throughout your posting..you were answering your own question..
Your Group.. if you feel this negatively about the group..and by what you've shared..you have good reason.. then follow your heart..maybe hand the reigns over to someone else..like above with your job..maybe you've just outgrown your present lifestyle or whatever you want to call it.. you've done everything you needed to do..you've gotten or learned all you were meant to.. I'm not putting this very well..I know what I want to say.. I can tell you one thing though..when I'm faced with a negative situation.. I want to remove myself as quickly as possible. I learned this from our Rowan.. don't jeopardise yourself..
I love your coming years resolutions..I think you're going to be alright. History, sweetie, I don't know what you do for a living..what you were educated to do..but going back to school for history..is this going to complement what you already have? Or is this a new adventure for you..personally, I'm excite for you..
Please..stay in touch..
Live Life With Heart~celtie

Wow, Raven, you have as many critters as I do lol! I love my fur babies so much so I know how you hurt when you lost yours. I am so sorry hon.
 
I am also sorry for the loss of your mother in law. It is always so hard when a mom dies. We come from our mom's so we have a literal connection with them. It is something most people don't think about very often.
 
Hon, can you take an online course for History? My son works hellish hours but takes courses online and is now going for his BA or BS (can't remember what he decided on that lol). He says it is hard taking three classes with his schedule and his three martial arts classes, but he feels fulfilled so it is worth it. The nice thing about that is that you can pretty much work around any schedule, as he has proven. Whatever you decide, I know you will do great things!
 
As for your group hon... well, it's hard to say anything about that but that I am sending you positive energy for you to draw upon when you make your decision. I know you will make the best one for your mental/emotional self.
 
You take care Raven.
 
Hugs
Rowan
 
Oh, yes, I am working on backing up the posts here. It is going to take a bit of time but I will get as much as I can during the time left here.
We will decide where to go before it IS time so no worries there hon.
