for damedini
1) What is your favourite part about being a mom?
Watching TK grow and learn and develop into such a cool person!
2) Are you going to be ok?
Ghod I hope so!
3) What would have to change about the SCA/Ealdormere for it to be a purely positive experience for you?
Cut the drama and bickering and just have fun and do cool things together. And, personally, to feel like I belong more.
4) What would you most like for your son?
The opportunities and support to acheive all his dreams, plus the confidence to pursue them.
5) What experience in your life has taken the most internal strength to deal with?
Hard to say. The current crisis (can't share, sorry) seems like the scariest, but the current one always does. Contested custody. Learning to deal with contract work against my will and develop confidence that a new job *will* come before it all goes to hell.

1) Is it better to have loved and lost?

Absolutely. I've learned a lot about myself via the losses of love I've experienced.


2) What would you change about your high school experience if you had a magic wand.

If I had a magic wand? I'd have made someone realize that I was dealing with learning challenges, and wasn't being a willfully lazy student. I'd have gotten the helps and supports I need.

3) How often do you think about those who you lost? What would you give to have had positive outcomes?
I used to think about them all the time. Now, it's not as frequent. Honestly, I don't think I would have given anything to have positive outcomes. The losses have made me who I am today, shaped my views on life, parenting, love and all sorts of things. I would not be me if it weren't for those losses.

4) Of all the people in his life and that you know, whose values and approach to life do you most hope Ethan absorbs?
The Tribe's. I say the Tribe because I believe each member has something extremely valuable to offer him as he grows. While I may not get out much, I dearly respect and admire The Tribe and consider every one of you a teacher.


5) Do you believe in sin? If so, what is it?

I do very much believe in sin. I believe it's the willful and intentional actions that cause deep pain to ourselves or others or to our relationship with The Great Divine however you may or may not see that.
