I've been thinking about this new blog venture. I wondered if integrating personal/family and professional/career would work. After all, it's "just not done." But I decided to do it anyway because, I'm not just a professor, I'm a wife and a mom, and a grandma. I'm not just a tree-hugger and gardener, I'm a sociologist and a missiologist. I'm not just a teacher, I'm a student of piano, photography and yoga.
So why not? What's stopping me from putting it out there where friends and family, and professional colleagues can see what I'm up to. The labels are there--colleagues can skip the family stuff, family can skip the publications lists and conference announcements.
So there you are. Hope you like it. I do.
