It’s been a long time since I blogged in public for the last time, and I am finally back. I have missed blogging all the time while I was away from it and struggling to find the purpose of blogging. While mulling over whether to continue my blogging, I had to think about what this would do for me and any audience who follows my blog and what I would like to do with my blogging, if not just for fun. I had been concerned about some issues of the violation of my privacy and questioned the mission of my blog because it seemed irrelevant and inconsistent with my goals of education. But I come to the same conclusion again and again after the mulling: blogging about my thoughts and my life could be inspiration to somebody else and that might be what I have intended to do with my blog.

“I want to be evidence for hope.”

A title of an autobiography by a Korean old woman who established herself as a successful woman after all the struggles against the poverty, discrimination, and solitude in a foreign country, that quote has lightened up a fire in my heart and led me back to blogging. My blog would serve more than 100% of its mission if it can deliver “evidence for hope” to any reader from my stories.

Anyway, I’m back and will try hard to be a committed blogger. I will voice my opinions and thoughts in polished, critical language and welcome any comments or thoughts from the readers.

P.S. I am back to school as well.
