A rambling blather about myself and this website.

[Leila Raven]

If there are people as nosy as I am with as vivid imaginations on this site, and there must be, even though I'm a very curious Katt myself. Then some of you will be wondering about me, my beliefs, my agenda, and what I'm all about and if there's anything more to this site, etc.

So I thought I would talk about the kinds of things I'd be wondering about if I were a member here.

My agenda with this website. Bottom line, I wanted a spiritual social network I could enjoy, hang out with like minded people, and not worry about censoring aspects of my life for fear of being kicked off, or harassed, etc. I'm a person that's outside of a lot of boxes. I have an alternative lifestyle in many ways not just in terms of my spirituality. If you've read my profile you know I'm polyamorous, I live with multiple partners, we're a leather/kinky BDSM household. One of my partners is my husband of 19+ years, and the other identifies as my slave, of almost two years. Also living in our home is my husbands girl.

I was always coming across other people falling through the social cracks on spiritual sites. Others not accepted for their sexuality, or not accepted for their alternative gender identity, or for their mental health issues, etc, etc, etc, It seems many site owners have many reasons for excluding others. 

Do I have a queer/gay agenda of some kind... no. I have an inclusive agenda of some kind. I'm not here to preach or teach my lifestyle in terms of it's sexuality, or spirituality. I'm here to share my spirit of inclusiveness. My lifestyle, and my beliefs are not something I have a desire to try to convert anyone to at all. Since the base of my beliefs is really that people should be empowered to be their genuine authentic selves, should have integrity of self, and be able to share that with others in a compassionate and respectful way.

I'm not here to teach the ever changing bizarre ins and outs of my own mind, my beliefs, my ideals, my practices, etc. I'm here to create a space for everyones beliefs, ideals, and practices to be shared.

When I share material on the site, unless it is specifically my own blog, if it is quoted material or images, I may not even personally relate to the material. Often I will, but often I post things because I know they will be of interest to others, even though they are not of interest to me.

So often what I post is not representative of me as to my beliefs, but to me as a site owner who wants to provide materials that are of interest to it's members.

In terms of what I will share of my more personal self, I'm afraid it will likely just be little dribs and drabs here and there. My health issues limit my activities, and I have to be very focused on my priorities. I do a lot more reading than writing on this site, and on others. That being said, if I'm ever brief or absent in my response to anyone, please understand it is most likely due to those health issues that keep me moving on a slow pace. *smile*

If you have any questions ever though, I'm an open book. Also if you would really like me to read and comment on something you have written please don't hesitate to send me a note (not a mass mail out, but a personal note) inviting me to check it out and I will do my best to read and comment. As the site grows I know I will not be able to read everything all the time. Darn it. *laugh*

Okay, Fingers are sore, and brain is fogging over, time for a break!

Thanks Arrheton, digital art, manipulating images or creating new ones, is actually easier for me, because it's mouse work instead of type pad. It also keeps me endlessly entertained, and meets my creative drive. Also the issue with my health can affect my language processing sometimes, making me less articulate with language than I'd like to be. Images speak for me *smile*
