Hi everyone..

i am giving some thought to changing my name. Candika is Hindi for "fierce goddess" and i thought that was an awesome thing to project for myself. i've got a lot of new found strength and i have always fought to survive and make something of myself. When people online try to hassle me i just glance at my username, smile and move right along. It has been very positively empowering. It also shortens nicely to candi for chat purposes.

my T lent me a little stone carved white rhino for while he is away on vacation - a whole month...

the rhino comforts me for several reasons... and i am considering a name change... little*rhino

what do you all think? It wouldn't have the same spiritual meanings as Candika, but it has personal strength written all over it.
