Ok, one of my heroes says to start writing when you have a lump in your throat, and you’re scared anyone might read what you write…
I have a favorite kid, and a not-so-favorite kid… eew. Yes, I judge that even as I have to acknowledge it. My son, when he was born, was so perfect, I had sore cheeks because I couldn’t stop smiling. He’s so…[Read more] -
Jeni Ananda started the topic Being drowned in the forum Meet & Greet 3 months, 2 weeks ago
I just watched “Noah” and it resonated with me… only in the way God speaks to Noah in pictures. About water. I do not agree with the judgement mentality that also was part of the movie… fyi..
I’ve always been afraid of water. Ever since I can remember, I’ve had nightmares where I am on a beach and a HUGE tidal wave comes and wipes everything…[Read more] -

Jeni Ananda started the topic Animal Hoarding- releasing pain in the forum Meet & Greet 1 year, 6 months ago
The curiousity was too much. I watched ‘Confessions of animal hoarders’ on Animal Planet. At first, I was just shocked. Mouth open, teeth starting to chill: shocked. It’s a good show, really. They take you through these people’s stories- they show how this mess happened. These are rational, reasonable people. They are not totally bonkers. But they …[Read more]

Jeni Ananda started the topic Hindu-to atheist- to whatever I am now… in the forum Meet & Greet 1 year, 7 months ago
I haven’t been involved in church in almost 3 yrs. I’m still in love with God, but sick of how institutions represent Him.
I’m new here- exploring TLS today- and I’m wondering if I will fit in. I was raised Hindu- or rather an Americanized Hinduism- and I didn’t understand why ‘Christian’ was a bad word. Then, about 9 yrs ago- I was publicly…[Read more]
