I just joined today. I am a 44 year old domestic engineer, who loves the interwebz, online communities, spirituality, swigging coffee in the mornings and sipping vino in the evenings, as well as the consciousness-shifting powers of various deep-breathing exercises. I was searching for an open-minded, diverse, online forum-esque type of community when I came across this one. Up to this point I had been involved in primarily debate-oriented, theological online forums, and wanted to join one where I could just chill, learn, grow, and not argue so darn much; I'm mellowing with age. And I just have to say that the color-scheme here--purple and turquoise--is one of my favorite color combinations. So a diverse, purple, and turquoise forum is what I have found, and by golly I think that's just peachy-keen! 'Tis good to be here! .
