Welcome to the new blog!

Hello everyone! I've decided to acknowledge the new part of my life that I would start a new blog. It just is another way to honor the changes to come. The title comes from an interview with Elizabeth Gilbert, who was asked what God was and she replied "Gee, that's an easy question. What is God? [Laughter.] But, actually, I sort of do have an easy answer for it. It's something from the Gnostics who said that God is the perfection which absorbs. I think that's the loveliest and simplest and least politically controversial possible definition of divinity—that we are not perfect, as humans, and yet, we have access to a perfection that's beyond us that we can become absorbed in, sometimes just for five minutes, sometimes for a whole year, sometimes, if you're really a blessed saint, forever."

So I'm off to seminary, to seek God and find new ways to connect with God, and new ways to serve other people. And of course, to blog about the whole thing :O) The old site will eventually go away I think, it will become my own diary of the last year of my life. I won't update it anymore, so you should all replace that bookmark with this new address (Yes. I'm sure you all have it bookmarked :O) I'm also going to attempt to use correct capitalization! Wahoo! English dorks rejoice! Since I'll have to be writing papers and whatnot, I figure I should get back in the swing of capitalizing things, makes it easier to remember to do it when writing the papers.

So happy reading! I hope you enjoy the new blog, I'm looking forward to writing it. Have a great day everyone!
love and hugs, r

I'll follow my Raquel anywhere in the Blogosphere.

BTW, I really like that quote. I liked that Eat, Pray, Love back as well.

Good luck & safe travels my girl.
