Changing Direction

Interesting how life cycles around. When I began blogging in 2002, my first blog was titled The Hestia Chronicles. It was a personal blog, and I retired it when I opened my private counseling practice. That was replaced by my current blog, A Mindful Life. But I missed Hestia, including the image of her in the sidebar.

Now that I'm learning how to knit and have created this blog to focus on it, other ideas about domestic creativity present themselves. Why not celebrate domestic art? By this I mean the craft of everyday life: recipes, knitting, a diary of my daily life. Think of it as a domestic commonplace book. It won't be fascinating, but I need a place to note this part of existence. The other blog focuses more on spiritual, psychological, and cultural topics. Since I'm multi-faceted, two blogs make sense.

Mind you, I'll keep the knitting posts in here! I'm drooling as I peruse yarn online, and I hope I remain patient and become skilled. Yet I made a delicious entree tonight for dinner, and this calls for attention as well.

Thus does Hestia return to my life.
