i started a new job today.  Chocolate!  My new job is chocolate.  It's december and I work at a chocolate shop.  And I work with about a dozen awesome girls.  All is well.

I told some of my new coworkers that I used to be very religious but am not religious at all now.  One of them asked, "So how come you're not religious anymore?"  And she stumped me.  No one has asked me that yet.  I told her I'd have to think about that and get back to her.

So now I'm sitting and I'm thinking.  With my religiously forbidden glass of whiskey. 

I'm not religious anymore because:
I no longer believe in religion. 
I no longer believe in belief systems. 
I no longer believe in anything but what feels true in my own heart at each moment, and the universe updates me accordingly.
I'm not religious anymore because I woke up from my mother's illusions and found God to be nowhere and everywhere and it's all the same.

On July 1st 2011I lost my 2nd Santa Fe job.  And I took some time to think.  To sit in the 3rd room I'd rented in the past 2 months, and think.  I finally had space to think.
