Normal
SSA everyone.I was born Natalie, in a white American family. My parents were (and are) atheists and very firm in their belief (or lack of.) I was taught throughout my childhood that there is no God, no heaven, no rebirth and no meaning to life other than existence, and in my heart I never quite believed that. Six years ago at the age of 28, I met a Punjabi Sikh man who had come to the United States to finish his studies. And to shorten a rather long story, I fell in love not only with him, but with Waheguru and the Sikh way of life. We got married, I moved to his home city in India, and I adopted Sikhism, had my Amrit ceremony, and became Navpreet Kaur. I am still continuing to learn all I can about Sikhism as well as master the Punjabi language but I am thankful to have had so much support from my husband's family and the Sikh community, despite the terrible resistance from my own family. I hope I can discover more about Sikhi & continue to grow in my faith.
