We don't print them and put them in people's purses or on billboards. Read it or not! Agree or not. I find it easier to talk about my views in writing, rather than in person.

My blog is basically about my life -- trying to make sense of it, finding commonality with others (many say they can relate to my musings), looking back and looking forward, but mostly just being in the NOW of me. So, I think I can write about any topic I want to. :) I've written about my politics (liberal; democrat; feminist) and my spiritual/religious donnajurenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799559087972759233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-79532872567426592162014-06-10T21:42:17.439-04:002014-06-10T21:42:17.439-04:00Thanks for sharing that Bella,

I've always found it interesting that my brother raised three kids who all turned out different in their politics and religion or lack there of.

This past Thanksgiving, my aunt asked me where I go to church. I told her that I didn't go to church anymore. A little awkward to say the least. When H and I were first married, my mother-in-law told me that his relationship with his last girl couldn't have worked. She was Catholic.

I imagine your readers and your late husband loved your uniqueness. Mine did, even more than I. He did, however, want me to be more tactful at times...<br /><br />GowitheFlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842273685414939160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-88791603700173865862014-06-09T18:26:53.350-04:002014-06-09T18:26:53.350-04:00There were 4-5 of us whose parents didn't go t...There were 4-5 of us whose parents didn't go to church and we were the ones singled out to get the religious tracts as we filed out the door. And get this, if my dad would try to do some house maintenance or yard work on Sunday a committee of church elders would come the next few days to tell him that wasn't acceptable in the neighborhood.

From time to time, I think I am. Maybe that is why we like to write/blog. We do get affirmation from people that really seem to care and like what we write. In our family, it was religion, politics and money were never talked about. Too personal.
