about me
My "bellydance name" is Ruth Al'Abal. Ruth=my middle name. Al'Abal="of the wild rose". Wild roses look pretty & smell good under harsh conditions. I try to do the same. Love hubby & sons very much. Also "mom" to a pughuaha, a sm. mixed terrier, & a teacup chihuahua. Short person. Good things come in small packages. Good life so far & hope to live to be 100!

That's what some of my inlaws think, because my life's spiritual journey has brought me to the Orthodox Christian Church. I am just an "inquirer" at this stage, but it's already home. I am keenly aware that it's a long journey I have ahead of me...

Another Bumper Sticker

Seen @ the train station today: "Silence is Golden. Duct Tape is Silver."
That's what some of my inlaws think, because my life's spiritual journey has brought me to the Orthodox Christian Church. I am just an "inquirer" at this stage, but it's already home. I am keenly aware that it's a long journey I have ahead of me, and probably a lonely one, too, because my husband and sons aren't keen on the type of worship service there. (I'll give them credit, they did attend once!)
For me, it's what I've been looking for - active, HUMBLE worship of God. I don't belie...

Allison is the sweetest person I have met to date! I am so glad we met in class! She always an antecidote to everything! ...and keeps me wanting to chat more (even in class!) She has shown me a love of dance that I have not seen since I have taken dance for granted. Unfailing in her efforts, she has a perfectionist side that makes it look fun and never gives up (although she says she almost does!). Allison is really a delightfully fun person! Big hugs!
