Welcome new members

First of all, I owe a HUGE apology to the bloggers I am about to mention, because it has taken me 3-6 months to activate your membership in Sister Bloggers. My only excuse is that I was busy finishing the Novitiate, making my first profession of vows and beginning active ministry, all the while trying to keep my own blog up to date. Moderator responsibilities have been on the back burner, but I hope during the new year to do a better job!

Now, on to business! Please welcome and visit our newest Sister Blogger members:

• Life at the Monastery of St. Getrude
• Sisters of the Holy Family
• Windows to the Soul
• Domincan Sisters of Blauvelt

Introducing .....

Failte (blogging at Answering the Call): "I'm a busy lady trying to make time to walk & play with her 1 1/2 yr old husky/lab mix and study everything she can on early church beliefs, while trying to discern if I'm being called to a vocation within the church."

The Desert Pilgrim: "A journey in the Desert with St. Antony of Egypt, St. John Cassian, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and all whose hearts long for that place of solitude and prayer with our Lord Jesus Christ. + + + "Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to Thy Name, and to the remembrance of Thee." Isaiah 26:8 + + +"

Welcome!!!

New Members

Please welcome our two new Sister Blogger members:

Baya Clare, SJ is blogging at BayaThread: "For the beauty of Earth, for the oppressed of the world: may we not lose sight.

Betsy is blogging at Not All Habits are Bad: "I'm a 23 year old college student, studying Physical Therapy, who for the past 3 years has been discerning her call from God to become a religious sister (nun) in the Catholic Church." ~ What a great blog name Betsy!

Welcome to you both!!

A Delayed Revamping

Hello there folks ... sorry it's been so long since we've either a) updated the site or b) added those new members who have been patiently waiting. But we have exciting news ...

A New Look
(see the header above). I took the picture on retreat last summer at Wisdom House in Connecticut (run by the Daughters of Wisdom).

New Members
Give a warm Sister Bloggers welcome to our newest members:

• Pray.Seek.Live
  Ashley offers us a "peak at life through the lens of a Dominican novice."
  
  
• Colwich Novitiate
  A group blog from a Benedictine Convent in Staffordshire, UK.
  
  
• Discernment Journey
  Sr. Andrea Westkamp hopes her blog "will be helpful to all who would like to find their way in life!"
  

(There are a few other new members pending so stay tuned...)

New Moderator
Our Sister Blogger moderator team has gone international. Please welcome our Australian moderator, Sarah from The Nun Thing. Hopefully she'll be able to add her first round up soon! And maybe I'll even find the time to do an occassional round up myself. ;)

Peace & Blessings this Lenten Season!

A long-awaited welcome...

I get so many spam accounts trying to add themselves to the ring that I nearly lost a couple of real live ones in the shuffle! Please give a long-overdue welcome to:

My Journey: A glimpse into the journey that is my life.
Kelly writes from Pennsylvania about her journey of discernment. Please welcome her!

We also have one other new blog waiting in the queue. Once they add the SisterBloggers ring code to their site, I'll get them officially added here as well.

Another bit of housekeeping. The following blogs who used to be official ring members are in the queue for a lack of ring-code on their blogs. If you know these people, could you have them contact me about getting the ring code put back on their blogs if they still want to belong to the SisterBloggers web ring? Otherwise, I will be deleting them outright in a week or two (i.e. the next time I get around to doing Ring housecleaning--which could very well turn into a month or more given my history here!) If you see your blog here: we want you back! Please check your blog to make sure you have the code and let me know that/when you do. Thanks!

• The Ear of Your Heart
• Evening Beaches
• In the Footsteps of Mary (seems to be inactive...)
• Naisei Suru (Self-Introspection)
• sexy, innocent child-woman (Diana, are you in or out of the ring? I may have lost you in the spammy-mess...)

Finally, my own blog address has changed. I retired my old site (wheretonowgod), and the URL has already been claimed by someone else! Please update any links to: http://opme.blogspot.com. I got the word last week that I have been accepted to enter with my very own Groovy Sisters in August! (different ones from Sr. Suan Rose, CSJP's original Groovy Sisters) I've officially made the switch and swapped out this new site for the old one in the ring.

Onward and upward, dear Sisters and Sisters-to-be!
