Star Foster has hit the ball out of the park (as I wish the Red Sox would have done more often this season).  In her article on Pathos' Pantheon she talks about Reciprocity of the Gods.  This is something that I truly believe.

Here is the link. READ IT.

When I was a Christian, I took every hardship as a "sign that I should suffer"  because "that is what god and Jesus wants".  When I became Wiccan I found the novel notion that I didn't HAVE to suffer...that life is not this pre-ordained mess that you have to get through in order to be happy at death.  Life is about LIVING and LIVING happily.  AND IT WORKED.  I was happier, more content and I could just be.  When I was given the opportunity to move to Boston (as Ms. Foster has found)  things fell into place.  It was a revelation that you don't have to suffer.  That if things don't feel right you don't have to continue them.  If YOU don't like the way things are going in YOUR life CHANGE IT.  Don't just sit there and bitch and moan and whine.  That is not helpful.  Sure, if you need to, take a moment to shake your fist at the sky and cry...I do all the time.  But then get up and do something about it.  Make yourself happy.
