You’ll eventually see a whole long list of categories on this site, as posts get published. Usually, with my other blogs, I just make them up as I go along, except for a skeletal framework of 4 or so that occur to me right off the bat.

This blog was a bit different. First, some work had already been done on the categories when I came on board. I liked the general approach, and so I kept a bunch of them, though I tweaked a few to be shorter and more direct. Also, I wanted to keep a better (read: tighter) handle on this blog’s focus than I have with other blogs littering the landscape of my virtual past.

So, here are the categories for this blog and what they’re all about. I don’t promise that they’ll never change, mind you. But I think they’re fairly thorough and provide a nice, long-term architecture for the site’s posts.

• Eros ‘n Aphrodite – love and sex; has the capacity to become my most-used category initially, not for the reason you might think but because it’s MISSING right now (grrr)
• Godddess’s Work Is Never Done – careers, jobs, and professional issues.
• Goddess Stories — I’m not really sure what I want to put here but I inherited it and I love the concept. Probably this will ultimately be a place where other goddesses can write in or submit their stories as guest posts, and I’ll publish them here. I love to hear about successes — means there’s hope for me yet….
• Goddesses Generally — the default category when I don’t choose a category; just what it means — sort of a catch-all.
• Interpantheon Relations — I’m really not thrilled with this title, but it was better than “Relating to Other Gods and Goddesses.” In any event, it’s about our relationships (apart from the romantic/sexual ones).
• Lakshmi’s Story — any of my personal journal entries about my experiences with reinvention will also come under this category, as well as the appropriate subject categories.
• Making Change — this is all about the process of reinvention and how to manage the big “change my life” projects.
• Managing the Offerings — financial reinvention, including debt management, investing, saving, emotional issues about money, etc.
• Meditations — every now and again, I’ll share some of the guided meditations I’m using. What I have in mind is a podcast of sorts, complete with nice new-age-y music, if I can find some I don’t have to pay a ton of cash to license (see immediately preceding category)
• Omniscience — intellectual pursuits, keeping our brains sharp and using the full measure of our intelligence
• Other Resources – other websites and books that might help in this reinvention thing
• Rituals — Fun little things we can do to honor the divine within and put an exclamation point on our work with ourselves
• The Art of the Divine — using, developing, and honing artistic skills/interests to help us reinvent ourselves
• The Temple — all about the hearth-and-home life/work; our home environments. Might also refer to things like cars, gardens, etc.
• The World — another one I didn’t like, until I began thinking of it as the Tarot card of the same name; I see this as the category for big “change the world” type posts and discussions.
• Tools and Methods — posts about using the “Law of Attraction” concepts of visualization, vision-board making, affirmations — anything that helps us create the ideal life
• Writing Prompts — points of departure and writing exercises for journal work

So, there you go — our categories!
