Greetings everyone, Merry Meet Lady Elaine!

I was a member of Lady Elaine's MSN groups and lost complete track of all the groups that I belonged to due to family responsiblities (caring for hubby's elderly parents, who have now passed on and other things. I'57 and feel more like 35), originally from Chicago and have been living in France ever since my marriage 32 years ago to my soul-mate Paul, who was my French pen pal. We have four "young adults": Jennifer (28 and single) who lives in New Zealand, Jessica (23 and single) who lives at home and works as a Personal Assistant and twins Samantha and Michael (1 who are in the colleges of their choice; one is studying applied arts and the other international commerce. Paul works as a ticket agent for Air France and while I myself don't work due to a hearing disability, I like to use my free time to write (mostly short stories and articles), read, study ancient cultures, work creative crafts and take long walks outdoors. We live about 40 miles south of Paris in a small country town.

My personal path is a bit ecclectic and leans towards Earth/Green Magick with some emphasis of Elemental Magick, Native American philosophy and Zen Buddhism.

It's wonderful that elaie's groups are now joined together into one whole macrocosm and it is so much easier to find general or specific information.

Wishing everyone a blessed Yule and a prosperous New Year filled with happiness and harmony.

Johanna
