So What do you do for a Living?
As my poor little lap top ascends to the great PC spirit in the sky, I bring you this blog a little later than planned and on a different computer.
The season of the Chritmas Dinner Parties will soon be upon us and I await the gasps and sudden cease of conversation when I answer the all-time favourite question; “So what do you do?”
Hmmm.. Where do I start?
I usually tell people about the website and the goods I sell. Of course, you then get bombarded with the following questions; “Are you a Witch?” “Are you psychic?” “Can you see dead people?” “Can you read my aura?” Etc. Etc.
I tend to test the air with how much personal information I freely offer – When I was a little younger and more naïve, I thought that everyone was OK with discussing spirituality and most people had some knowledge (if only limited) of the new age phenomena. However, quite a private conversation with the person sitting next to you at the table, usually turns into a full blown circus of drunken dinner crowds wanting you to perform “tricks” for them.
So now I am quite quiet about my own personal spiritual beliefs and practices. Sometimes you will meet a like minded individual who can freely share experiences with. However, it can be quite hard to not to discuss things further after telling people what your occupation is.
My occupation is one that I am proud of admitting – Running an online new age website is certainly more interesting than the run of the mill jobs (I won’t mention any examples – I don’t want to offend anyone!) Some closed-minded people may think I am a freak of devil worshipper when I tell them what I do – that’s up to them. However, most people are genuinely interested.
