Hi y'all, I'm Vagabond, and I'm just coming back to life after 2 1/2 years in the wasteland of retail. I've been a supervisor at a dept store and it didn't leave much room for religion, or free time, or independent thought. But now I'm free! Well, technically I'm free in 71 days, but who's counting?

In my non-work life I am the mother of a 4 year-old girl, with another child due in late November (gender to be determined). I read voraciously and write sporadically, and indulge in many other hobbies which change about every three months. Currently I'm trying re-learn the French I had in high school, which was about 13 years ago, so it's slow going.

My path is Unitarian Universalist Pagan. I belong to my local U.U. church (or at least I did before I started working EVERY Sunday), and participate in the CUUPs program there. I practice ritual and holidays with my clan (me, my husband and our 2 clanmates), a local couple we are friends with, and our kids. We are all fairly eclectic, and we spend a lot of time sharing our different ideas and insights on divinity.

I am really anxious to spend more time on my spirituality now that I will have more freedom to do so. I've long wanted to join in this community and just haven't had the time! One of the major things I wish to explore here is how to provide an effective Pagan upbringing for our clan's children, so I expect to be spending a lot of time in the Pagan Parenting section!

If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, please feel free to ask or PM. I look forward to getting to know as many of you as possible!

Hello Vagabond. :)

Congratulations on your forthcoming baby and your forthcoming freedom from retail drudgery. Been there, was glad to escape.

Congrats on your kid and welcome to MW! Retail is brutal so I totally understand where you're coming from.
