| You Are a Dreaming Soul |
 Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul |
What Kind of Soul Are You?
It makes a lot of sense, I've always been a dreamer and an artist. And I have big dreams.
I'd like to talk about loopholes for a minute. Specifically, a certain loophole of a religious nature. Lent is a season for personal reflection and striving to become more spiritually aware. Which is where fasting comes in. Fasting is a great way to grow spiritually and this year I decided to fast from alcohol and coffee for Lent. Which sounds like a lot, but to be honest it has been a very rewarding challenge. In fact, It hasn't been as difficult as I first thought it would be.
Now, one would think that fasting from something during Lent means never touching it during the whole season. But I recently learned something about Lent from a freind of mine who grew up in the Catholic Church. The period of time between Ash Wednesday, which is when Lent starts, and Easter, which is when it ends, is just shy of 7 weeks long. 47 days to be exact. Not 40, and I'll get to that in a second. Because fasting during Lent often involves fasting from food, there's some considerations to be taken. I don't know about you, but I would not be able to go 47 days straight without eating. Which is where the 40 days comes in. Lent itself is 40 days. If it was 47 days, it would start a week later than it does. The reason it is 40 is because Sabbath days are excluded. So that means Sundays (or Saturdays for some) are not ruled by the tenants of Lent, only by the Sabbath. And that means that those who are fasting from food may eat during that day, and those who are fasting from anything else, such as alcohol or coffee, maybe partake of that as well.
Of course that opens up a whole new can of worms, depending on what you are fasting from. If you are trying to quit something altogether, this adds a whole new level as far as willpower and temptation are concerned. But that's a discussion for a different day.
