Please join me in welcoming another Dominican to our ranks! (I'm not biased or anything... *wink*)
Sr. Pat hails from the same Dominican Community as our own Sister Christer. Pat blogs at http://www.opreach.org. Her first post is engaging and humorous; I am sure there will be more great thoughts to be found here soon!
In other news, Sister Christer's father passed away this weekend. You may remember that she recently lost her mother after a long battle with cancer. Please pray for Christine and her family during this difficult time.

Please welcome...
Waiting for the day. "The Mollinator" describes herself thusly:
I'm a follower of Jesus and a child of God. I am also a mom of a 8 year old tornado named Ursula, and a family and youth minister. I am a lay Marianist, trying to live out community, hospitality, prayer, rejoicing, and pondering. I am a native Texan, and really isn't that more than enough?
Please join me in sending some Big Texas Love out to our newest SisterBlogger! :)

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!

in the news
Check out this article in the Toledo Blade: "Everyone from nuns to meter readers are blogging about work." It features Sister Bloggers!
Indeed, there are enough nuns keeping blogs that SisterBloggers alone, an online network of like-minded blogs from Catholic and Episcopalian nuns, boasts nearly two dozen members. Vieira's own site links to more than 30. "I think religious women are wanting to tell their story" said Sister Susan Francois, 34, who started SisterBloggers three years ago, and belongs to the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace in New Jersey.
She said she started her blog when she was "discerning a religious vocation for myself and decided to share my story." She said the majority of the nuns who are part of SisterBloggers are in their 20s and 30s, but she's surprised how universal the experiences sound, "even though the communities are very different." Some nuns use their blogs to provide daily prayer. Many wrestle with what it means to live a devout life; on the Web site Sister Mary Alternative, Sister Jen explains she's a post-modern nun "testing my vocation to religious life." And others, like Sister Julie's site, are committed to debunking the notion that a nun's life is one of solitude and uptight elderly women with sour faces.

Welcome new Ring Member!
A warm welcome to our newest ring member, Sarah, blogging at The Nun Thing. An introduction in her words: Ah, the 'nun thing'... it's such a benign sounding phrase. I'm joining the nuns. Well, maybe... unless I change my mind. unless I realise I really did lose my mind. unless the nuns won't have me. unless it starts to feel less 'right'. unless I realise I can't. So, this is my journey. My blessed, madening, daggy, odd, sacred, loved and bizarre journey.
Belated condolences to one of our co-mods, Sister Christer on the passing of her mother. We hold you and your family in our hearts.
Go welcome Sarah, give Sister Christer a cyber-hug (or a real one, if you know her IRL) and see the previous post for the blogs that are still missing the ring code or are MIA. The MIA's will likely be removed from the ring soon unless I hear differently. But never fear, at the rate that I do updates on the ring, that could be next month! ;)

A bit of housecleaning [Updated 3/9]
As I was adding our newest ring member...

Simply re-add the webring code to the sidebar of your MAIN BLOG page, then leave a comment to this post, and I'll get ya re-added.

This is also a time to let us know if your blog has moved to a new home. I'm not worrying about long-time inactive blogs just now (there seem to be at least a couple of those), but I'm going to ask that everyone who wants to be a ring member to get that code on your blogs and let me know so I can reinstate you.
A NEW and DIFFERENT Monastic Musings...
I noticed a great many of our member sites do not have the SisterBloggers Ring Code on them. I am not sure if this is something that was lost when y'all converted from the Old Blogger to the New Blogger, but there were about a dozen sites that either no longer exist, or do not contain the ring code.Sr. Edith, OSB writes from Duluth, Minnesota and is a Benedictine of St Scholastica Monastery and a sociologist. Her blog looks quite picturesque and interesting... check it out y'all!
