July 24, 2000
Well, it's been a while since I've written in here. I've been very busy with my new business and it took me a while to get over losing P.J. Alot has happened to me in the last month. My business has kicked off to a good start, I'm networking and things look really good. I am planning to make up a few gowns to sell locally and I'm hoping that will help to get my name out. I've had a couple of orders and business seems to be trickling in. Which I think is good when you are first starting out.
I went to the pagan picnic in St. Louis yesterday and it was an interesting experience. There were booths there and interesting things going on. I took my brother with me and we enjoyed ourselves. Next year I hope to have my own booth up there.
I'm out of the closet with my mother and grandmother these days and that has been a never ending battle. Grandma is accepting and doesn't say anything. But mom is driving me nuts, she spent two hours yesterday grilling me on my beliefs. I wish she could just accept me and move on, there is no law that says we have to agree. She doesn't really understand and I don't think she really wants to, I think she thinks she can argue me into changing my religion. As if such a thing is possible! I'm really disappointed in my mother these days. She claims to be educated but she certainly isn't acting like an educated individual. She's exhibiting the worst sort of close minded bigotry. It's very sad. I'm hoping she'll eventually see the light. I don't expect her to agree with me or even approve, but I do expect her to love and accept me. All of this arguing is started to wear on me. My brother has been a blessing to me during all of this. He has done nothing but defend me and I love him so much for that.
Well, that's all for now.
Blessings,
