This is my first post on the new blog. The old blog (Musings of a Discerning Woman) is still live, and it might take me a little while to transition to this new one.

I’ve been thinking about starting a new blog for a while now. I’ve even considered the possibility of leaving the blogging world behind, but as I’ve been blogging for almost 10 years, it’s become a part of how I process information and relate to the world. Plus, to be honest, I simply love to write and the blog format is perfect for the introverted, pondering writer type.

I’ve named this new adventure in blogging “At the Corner of Susan and St. Joseph.”  I am still sharing the musings of a discerning woman, as the title of this first post indicates, but my discernment is now firmly grounded in my commitment as a Sister of St. Joseph of Peace.

I often tell friends that it is as a Sister of St. Joseph of Peace that I can be the best me. I make more sense in this life, and the world makes more sense. And for that, my friends, I am so very grateful.
