Below you will find a list of my current endeavors, most recent listed first. I am constantly exploring and challenging myself to expand my thinking and I believe this is reflected in my various pursuits for knowledge and understanding. As I state in my blog "Sane Spirit" I am undergoing a major paradigm shift as I attempt to weld two opposing streams of thought into one. A mix of skepticism and rational thought with the paranormal and its metaphysical aspects.
Be forewarned I am what I call a deistic agnostic bordering on atheism. A small "a" atheist would also be an apt description barring one glaring inconsistency with the atheistic world view, the belief in the paranormal. I am a de-converted fundamental christian with a background in the Pentecostal/Charismatic church, and a former bible and theology major. In 1992 I was hit with the lovely diagnosis of bipolar disorder w/ psychotic features and to top it all off I am a lesbian. I am out and proud on all three stigma, tho I am not infamous by any means. So yes I am jaded and I am aware of that fact, it does influence my thoughts on some topics. BUT I attempt to be respectful, although if I believe you have drank "the koolaid" I may just say so.
My journey so far has taught me that there are many truths in the world, we are all evolving spiritually according to our own needs; none of us hold all the answers. For me personally I hope the path is lined with thoughts and ideas that challenge me on a daily basis and I continue learn and grow in the process.
Tales of the Odd (TOTO) is a collection of unusual stories culled from the web. The general theme falls under the purview of the paranormal; phenomena beyond normal explanation. And by phenomena I mean "a fact, occurrence, or circumstance observed or observable."
TOTO is a recent venture into exploring not only things that may go bump in the night, but also cryptids, UFOs, ETs, multi-dimensionals, conspiracy theory, fringe science, and similar topics. I am exploring a possible line of thought that may or may not underlie the above mentioned topics and many other related subjects.
I am not an expert, I hold no preconceived prejudices. But, I am biased in how I ponder such topics. I am a skeptic by nature, softened by personal experiences that have forced me to look outside the box. I believe that science holds the key to answers we seek, it just hasn't caught up to those of us who aren't afraid to color outside the lines. Cynicism, will never allow for that, it is as dogmatic as any set of beliefs that taint our world view.
So come explore the enigmatic with me; let speculation abound. And question everything!!My twitter account were TOTO updates will be posted,,,this is my Sane Spirit account but will also post stuff there
My foray into the world of internet radio,,,I forgot to mention, my other passion is food!! As a foodie and former "chef" I have always believed that food should hold a "spiritual" place in our daily lives,,,'you are what you eat' as the old adage goes. I never really gave that philosophy much extra thought until recently. I have come to realize that there is a
I am also a "sometime" co-host on Spirits Among Us with JodyKym as she takes you into the Paranormal Spirit Realm. Also airing on ParaMania Radio, Tuesdays at 8PM (EST),,,
I am still learning and exploring many ideas. I have more questions
than I do answers. Tho skeptical I am not a cynic. I am well educated
and well read on a variety of topics. What I don't know I try to
learn. That is why my journey, may seem unusual; in my mind, it is the
definition of a paradigm shift: ",,,a change from one way of
thinking to another. It's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of
metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but it is driven by agents of
change." Visit Sane Spirit to read more about my journey,,,my ongoing blog where I attempt to blend my opposing thoughts and skepticism.

And of course, what would the web be without the ever present facebook page,,,
Currently on hiatus :: Rants and raves,,,news and views,,food, music and whatever else floats my boat,,,I am a small "a" atheistic agnostic, a lesbian, and I have bipolar disorder,,,I also suffer from chronic pain and diabetes,,,I do not tolerate bigotry and stupid smart people piss me off,,,I am out and proud, treat me with respect, I will treat you with respect,,,and I rag on the religious establishment, deal with it!!
