Independence Day 2006
I'm about to make a major life change by going back to school to pursue a master of divinity degree and a new career as a Unitarian Universalist minister. Tomorrow I'll give six weeks' notice at my publishing job. I figure I have time for one more career, so even though I face plenty of stress from finances, new social situations, moving to another city, and finding a way to make it through four years of schooling, becoming a clergyperson is the path I choose.
With such major change, I don't know if it's a good time to start a blog. This could be good reading for others, or it could be yet another first-person Weblog full of tedium. I don't intend this to be a diary, but it will follow the course of my life.
Today's my half-birthday--in 18 months I'll turn 50. Let's see if Eclectic Ascetic the blog makes it that far, and if EA the person does, too.
