Howling Spirit: Engagement

Welcome

The Buddha said that his teaching are not to be followed like laws, but to be used as guidelines in finding your own spiritual path. Rabbi Brad Hirschfield explained that if there are aspects of religion that you don't like, return to where you were raised and make the changes from there. If you like the ritual, keep it. If you don't, drop it. True religion is different for everyone. This blog is a reflection of the journey I take to finding my personal spirituality. The basis for my spirituality stems from a cross between Buddhism and Judaism, but also includes bits and pieces from other religious faiths.
As I develop my individual spirituality, I am moving from the life of college student into the workforce. Included will my journey to find a job I truly love (this seems to be rare nowadays), that agrees with my personal ethics of peace and non-violence.

Engagement

So it has been awhile since my last post but if you didn't already know I got engaged to my girlfriend of 2 years on December 20, 2010. Aida and I met during a summer session for school in 2008 and started dating shortly after our return to school. We have set a wedding date for August 7, 2011. Things have been moving quickly but I couldn't ask for anyone better to share the rest of my life with. I love you Aida.
