Twilight...used to like it before I got ahold of the movies and the other three books. And before every one started treating it like the second coming of Jesus.

Pit bulls. I used to be afraid they were just plain vicious and wouldn't let my kids near their uncle's dogs but I ended up rescuing a pit-boxer mix pup and he's the sweetest, smartest, easily trainable dog I've ever had. He's 75 lbs of solid muscle (well, a lot of it is his huge head) and pretty scary-looking I admit, but the most harm he'd ever do is knock you around with his whip of a tail. I know the breed has some inherent traits that have to be overcome through discipline and socialization, and maybe he's benefiting more from his boxer side, but now I'm on the "no bad dogs, only bad owners" bandwagon.

There is strength in faith. I always looked down on those who told me to pray. Or to blindly believe in something I could not see or prove. Or that helping others might make me feel good. That was before my life changed as a result of prayer and having faith in a power greater than myself. As I came to a crossroads in my life, I made a choice to believe with God's help that I can right my wrongs, live every day with more peace and serenity knowing I don't have to control and direct everything and everyone in my life. The only person I can change is myself. Everyone else has their own path.

I think from a quasi-religious aspect that sometimes when you hear whatever that little voice in your head is, it might be saying "sit down; you're making a fool of yourself." I have come to have more confidence in deciding what works for me.

The biggest thing I've changed my mind about recently is 'fixing' things. I've come to realize that nothing needs fixing, we're all at different stages in our evolution & it's all good. It all serves a purpose in the big web of interconnectedness. I will probably get lambasted for that statement, but c'est la vie. I'm finally TRULY getting the concept of consciousness creating reality & that the best way to affect the world outside is to affect the world inside. I finally truly understand that, as Marianne Williamson says, an angry generation will not bring forth peace. I finally get it when I hear the quote about Mother Theresa turning down an invitation to an anti-war rally with the added caveat that she would accept an invitation to a pro-peace rally. I'm finally on track with focusing on where I want to be instead of where I don't.

" When God changes your mind, that's faith" - I have changed my mind about this idea... I'd say - not faith - thinking or self delusion -but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I've changed my mind about a lot of things - political, religious, philosophical, too many to list...but my core experience still holds me in a good, solid, unchanging place, full of love.

I have changed my mind on a lot of ideas, beliefs, concepts, physical and spiritual, since being on SP. Mostly i changed my mind about whether or not people will listen to me (i'm pretty sure), if my children love me (they do), whether happiness is in my today (it is). I hope i can have my mind changed every time i am thinking anything that is not right/good and especially if it's downright mean.
