I had a good conversation on the phone with my rabbi today. (he's no longer A rabbi but MY rabbi) It went very well. He was very enthusiastic about my conversion and helpful. There are only two slots open for the conversion class, so I'm getting in under the wire. I'm very excited.

Andrew will not be coming tomorrow, which is a bummer. He's going to be going to Atlanta instead, talking to an Orthodox rabbi about converting. He says it's something that's important to him. He converted Reform three years ago but he feels like something is missing. I wish him all the best on his path.

Of course the rabbi asked the very broad question: "Why do you want to convert?" It's extremely hard to put into a few words when there are SO MANY reasons why, and so many things that attract me. I explained that I've been on the conversion path for two years and gave a shortish answer that seemed to be enough for him.

In related news, I've gone back to vegetarianism.

I'm so glad you're sharing your conversion journey -- I find it fascinating and inspiring. Good for you, sister! *smoosh*

I've been going veg again myself. My anemia is under control, and I'm trying to get as many dark greens and non-animal protein sources into my diet as my budget allows. I just feel better, both physically and spiritually/ethically, when I eat vegetarian.

That's great; I'm glad you had such a good conversation. *hugs*
