Now let's get off on the right foot. My philosophy is not one based on religion or some new age notion of long-forgotten mystical laws. My approach to life is simple. It is one of maturity, realism and positivity. I have always considered myself a spiritualist which in layman's terms means I do not restrict myself to one religion or belief but take them all into account and assume whatever I feel necessary. Life is a long journey of ups and downs and I think a healthy way to face all the varying chapters is to be open. Now I haven't always been so free. Like many people I grew up with the idea of this omnipresent man in the sky who judged my actions and punished me accordingly. This idea both terrified me and brought me relief.
