They just keep a-comin'!
Please welcome osbnovice blogging at The Ear of Your Heart. I'm sure Sr. Steph will be delighted at this, our newest addition, seeing as how there's now another Benedictine among the ranks! (A thousand pardons if there are more OSB's in the ring that I'm forgetting just now!)
There's also another new blog waiting in the queue, and as soon as she puts the ring code in her sidebar she'll be in business too, so keep an eye out for yet another new SisterBlogger!

Welcome new SisterBloggers!
I'm sure there are those among us who can relate!
Next, we welcome a Franciscan Sister in the Salvation Army in Cornwall UK, Evening Beaches. "By the Bay" introduces herself as a sister in the Salvation Army and novice in a religious order. I absolutely love it! Also tons of other stuff like gardening, teaching special needs, music, art, aiming to learn how to vlog, etc. Lots of fun.
And last, but certainly not least, may I introduce Naisei Suru: Self-Introspection: Finding My Vocation and Living It, a blog by a twenty-something high school English teacher and anime fanatic who made a comeback to Catholic spirituality three years ago. Right now she is mulling over to continue her promise to God to enter the convent or the monastery. "Self Introspection is all about reflections, vocations and living up to a personal calling to serve Him. What people may find in this journal are my own musings over what God has in store for me...and what I can do to fulfill every bit of it." I cheated a bit and let this site into the ring even though the code isn't there (yet). She's been waiting in the queue for quite a while now, and she really belongs among us. The issue is that she's using a LiveJournal and we cannot figure out how to get the Ring code to show up in her sidebar. Anyone out there know more about LiveJournal than we do who might be able to help her get the code on her page? If so, surf on over her way and help her out; we'd all be much obliged!
I had intended on doing a roundup as well, but I've got other tasks (and my mother) calling my name, and now I'm off to email our 3 new ring members to let them know that they're finally official SisterBloggers. Let us welcome them!

a partial circle 'round the ring
Not to toot my own horn, but then again why not? I got a call from our Congregation Leader today. Sr. Sheila didn’t want me to have to wait till I got the letter in the mail to know that I’ve been accepted to the Novitiate!!!!!
Natty is becoming a pre-candidate with her groovy sisters!
Steph is failing to learn one of life’s lessons … again!
Sister Christer’s furry friend is turning up in interesting places!
And the Da Vinci Code is the topic of the day at nunblog and compelled by love.
That’ll have to do for now … I’m too excited about my news to do a complete roundup.
Peace, Joy & Sisterblogger Friendship to you all!!

You shall have life in abundance
Please welcome TWO new members to our humble little WebRing:
Sr. Hildegard Magdalen Pleva, OSsR, of the Redemptoristine Nuns, hails from Esopus, New York, and shares with us her Monastic Musings. We've been working together to get the ring code added to her blog, and I can attest that she is quite pleasant and has several good reflections on her blog already.
Please also visit our newest member, Abiding on the Fringes. I haven't had a chance to get up to speed with her writings yet, but at first glance, it looks like good stuff!
Welcome!!
In a long-overdue round-up, it's a season of change for many SisterBloggers. And I've also noticed several posts reflecting on the topic of death and dying lately. Could be because I also have a friend who may be slipping away before my eyes.
Sr. Steph tries to get prepared for the passing of a dear friend, and there are other Sisters who may be going home soon as well...
Sister Christer has moved home to San Jose to care for her mother as she faces cancer.
Sr. Anne recently had a rather embarassing cell phone problem at a funeral. I say, if you're going to be disturbed by a cell phone during a funeral viewing, then "Regina Coeli" is about the most apropriate ring tone I can imagine!
Anne is looking for a job that's closer to where she lives, has a friend who could be facing cancer, and reflects on the recent murder conviction of the priest who killed a Sister in Toledo many years ago.
And in other topics...
Sister Mary Alternative has the vow of obedience blues. I'm sure several of you can relate!
Best Catholic Books asks, What's your favorite number?? as she's found herself meditating on the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Soul_Seeker is off to Hondouras for a couple of weeks, and then posts something in Tagalog. Any translators out there? ;-)
Seeking_Something is trying to adjust to her new job, which for her includes finding a suitable time and place to attend daily mass.
Sister Claire Joy shares a beatiful 2(?)-part reflection on her friend Dan who recently passed away. She also reflects on her experience as a leader for a Cursillo weekend.
And finally, Susan Rose is on a Groovy-Sisters Reserves Weekend where she's meeting with the Province leadership team to discern her readiness to enter novitiate in the fall. Talk about transitions!!

Easter Week Roundup
Easter Blessings and greetings to all in the blogosphere who happen upon this gateway to Sister Blogger Land. This week you can read about many things on our blogs, including the following highlights:
Ann seems to be hooked on going to mass!
Lauren has taken a leap to the private sector and tells us six random things.
Sr Anne, Sr Clare Joy, and Lisa are also playing the six random things meme.
(I just realized Lisa tagged me so I'll work on that later tonight! Others of you were tagged too so you should check!)
Steph has discovered a new Gospel!
Nicole uses her new picture blog to tell us about the Veneration of the Cross.
Sr. Bernadette tells us where she's been.
I relive my childhood game of pawing through my mother's jewelry box to find super hero accessories.
And last but not least … Natty applies her higher education to office supply management.
