Welcome!

The title of my blog actually took form during the period in which I was denying my calling to ministry. I was looking at creating a new online presence that would be useful in the secular career in which I was trying to engage. As I faced stripping my overtly religious online presence from those pesky Google searches potential employers might make, I found myself feeling grief over the loss of my authentic self. However, in my attempts to articulate what is uniquely me in secular terms, I came up with a blog concept that actually represents the merging of my religious-self and secular-self. I have always had a tendency to interpret things differently and see connections that others don’t see. I also have an urge to connect people and concepts that seem quite disparate (at least from their perspective). It made me feel like an outsider when I was young, but now I view my different way of seeing things as a strength.

So I like the irony of the genesis of my blog title and the fact that it also represents my love of myth and storytelling. We are meaning makers and are constantly weaving our story, our vision of the world we live in. I hope to do so with new insights and depth.
