back to blogging

Yesterday, I ran into a former student, who asked me if I was still blogging.  She seemed surprised and maybe even disappointed when I said I wasn't.  She reminded me how into that I'd been.

My interests took a turn away from the topics of hospitality, female self-actualization, and cooking to Buddhism, meditation, and compassion.  I joined a sangha, started meditating, and began reading extensively about ancient and contemporary meditation philosophies and practices.

So I've decided to start sharing this journey on a new blog.  However, I'm still adhering to my tenets of the personal essay--self-inspection, genuineness, humility, confidence, and concern for more than just myself.  That also means that I'm not obligated to produce a linear, logical argument but am licensed to follow detours as long as they relate to my post's topic.

So join me if you wish...
