Who I am

I had had other blogs littered throughout cyberspace, though none where I felt I could really be myself - whoever that was, is, and will be. I named this space ‘Becoming’ because I think that I am always becoming, always changing, evolving, growing, and metamorphosing into…something or someone else. A different version of my Self. I think life is one transition period after another, gradually spiraling outward, inward, beginning and returning.  Each time slightly or greatly changed as we continue through the cycles of life.

I am many things. Concretely, I am a first year professional counseling graduate student, a coffee snob, a food lover, a dreamer, a thinker, a daughter, a friend, a lover, a seeker, a woman, and a Pagan. If you want to know anything else, though I’m sure I’ll cover it at some point, feel free to contact me and ask. I welcome feedback :)

Some of my research interests: identity formation; spiritual development; women’s spirituality, empowerment; trauma and related issues; and, alternative therapies and healing.

  2. I’m logged in with my homeschool account- but in reality I’m dragonflyshaman (most of the time), and I thank you so much for your insight into our beautiful world and for your gifted life. I also thank you for adding my site to your “for the soul” reads. May your path be abundant in gleeful laughter, wild dances, and damned good java.

    what is a ‘coffee snob’?

    Comment by Sue Ann Edwards — November 21, 2007 #

  6. Thank you, Sue Ann!

    A coffee snob is someone who has very particular tastes (which are usually very good) when it comes to coffee. No Folgers, Maxwell house, 8 0′clock bean, and a whole host of other coffees that can be found in most grocery stores will ever find their way into my grocery cart/basket. I started drinking coffee when I was living in France (espresso). As a consequence, I prefer very dark roasts and think most American coffee tastes like water. :D I also drink my coffee black because, really, in my opinion, if you have to put a bunch of stuff in it to make it taste different, why are you even drinking coffee at all? And don’t even get me started on Starbucks…hehehe.

  7. I just found you, and I like the energy here. We have some connections…among many your de-programming caught my eye and touched my heart.
    On a lighter note…what coffee do you like because I have found the same thing with the weak coffee. I like you, drink mine straight. I keep trying different ones hoping to find that magic brew!
    Good energy to you!

  8. Welcome, gypsy-heart! I’m glad you found your way here :)

    As for coffees, I stick with the darkest roasts. Dark roasted sumatras are nice and you might enjoy them. Currently, my preferred coffee is made by Millstone (found in Kroger grocery stores, though I’m sure elsewhere as well). It’s called Organic Mayan Black Onyx Blend - delicious!

    Blessings to you - I look forward to getting to know you!

  10. Well, somehow I lost your site so I am here again.

    I found the Millstone coffee and you are right. I have not found the Organic Mayan Black Onyx blend yet. :( It must be very delicious, because I like the blends I have found in this brand!

    I also bought a French Press coffee pot..another blogger told me about it!! :)

    Thank you again!
