Astrology -- too much?

So when is the belief of astrology too much?

I think I've tripped upon this answer.

I think astrology can be a tool, an insight.

But, for me, it has become a stereotype. And I didn't even realize it.

Every once in awhile is understandable, but for me, I don't want to stereotype in this manner.

Astrology does not shape us. Childhood and so many facets of life do so.

Astrology definitely is a base, one facet of who we are, but it's not everything...

Just something I thought I would mention...

Some thoughts

I mentioned that i would write a blog regarding my ponderings and convos with friends and family. Not to get into conversations, but to say, I really understand now how far I have really come. I see who i desire to be, and that girl that I desire to be is attainable. I have so far to go, but i have come so far as well.

So much of this is contingent upon self-worth. I believe in myself more than I ever have. I am so thankful to my friends and fam for believing in me, whether near or far.

I have blogged on some of this, but I am now seeing that it's all coming together. Another key to this is balance. I will give you an example. A week ago, I really felt, but not too much. I have felt these emotions so many times, but it's been awhile since I have felt this way. I started crying tears of joy at a chick flick. It's been so long since I've done that. Yet, there are times that I feel too much. The key = balance. That tight rope that we all walk on and attempting to stay upright as we careen through life's obstacles.

I was fretting about some things regarding who i am the other night, and I prayed and I felt peace and a confidence that I have not felt in some time. This brings me to my spirituality. This has been a foundation in my life for quite some time. Regardless of what religion I may be in, I have a true love for Christ and I deeply believe. I think back to two years ago, and my border-line agnosticism, and I realize that I am so thrilled to believe.

I have been trying to figure out which religion I should be or stay, and at this point, I know that I must complete this journey of self-knowledge and completely know who i am, before I decide which religion I will stay.

I know many are worried, from many different walks of life. I thank you for your concern, but rest assured, I am working on it. All will be ok.

I love the person that I have become. It goes back to the song, "Stronger Woman" -- "Im gonna love myself more than anyone else..."

I am also seeing that balance can be essential in many facets of my life. Needing people is one of them. Lately, I have been shutting people out, and I have been for quite some time. The truth is I let people in more now than I used to. Few people really truly knew me long ago.

And now, more people know me, and I feel that this is in part because I have begun to know myself more in the last few years.

I am thankful to each and every one of you. I love who I am and there are so many awesome people in my life!!!
