Hi Natalie :) I have friended you back and am looking forward to getting to know you. I remember noticing your screen name - "meowpurr" - in mermids_tears journal - and loving it! I see we have a few people in common, not to mention that when I was looking at your "bio" list -- I see some similarities - - we both sing in the choir, for one.
Just so you know, however, that I suspect I'm a bit more liberal (politically, socially, spiritually) than you are, but don't often talk about these things in my journal - though occasionally they seep through *g*. I also want you to know that I am always open to listening, to differences, which is something I believe we don't do enough. In fact, I think it's hurting our nation not to be more open to listening to others -- *with respect*. Even if we don't change our own views, I think it's important to understand why someone else might believe as they do -- instead of branding them "stupid" or some other regional or personal stereotype, which is what I think is going on way too much.
So -- I hope you can trust me with whatever you write, though hope you don't mind if I don't always comment.
One last thing -- I want to direct you to my "Cast of Characters" post which will introduce you to those friends and family I refer to in my journal so you have an idea of who I'm talking about. It'll help in understanding my posts :)
