Liberation!!

So, amidst the variety of entries in this, my personal blog, I've gone from a travel log and research commentary of my time as a Fulbrighter in Paraguay to my return to the USA and the process of combating culture shock to my current status as a graduate student in Syracuse. Throughout, I have found little continuity since i was really letting the location dictate my entries and didn't take a lot of time to include reflections that went beyond my personal role at the time. So, I am realizing that I limited a lot of my creative juices by seeing through that particular lens.

So, today, I am officially liberating this blog to contain and all rants, commentaries, ponderings, complaints, hopes, fears and joys that I deem fit to record. I don't necessarily care who reads them as long as they seek to find a nugget of truth, a sparkle of inspiration, or at least a glimmer of a new thought or a new idea that could make his or her life a little better. I can't promise you'll like everything you see on here. I can't even promise you will understand it. But, I have decided that a personal journal is only useful for therapy and emotional vomiting but a blog can take that otherwise internal and selfish babble and turn it into a collective discussion or at least a raised awareness among the people that I care about and that care about me. So, I am officially liberating this blog as an extension of my personal commitment to documenting my life and invite you all to come along for the ride.

More reflections to follow.
