Greetings all!  After a very long hiatus I decided to pop back up in the blogosphere.  Why?  Perhaps it has something to do with our one year anniversary (yeah!!) and the fact that I realize that my choice to enter into my intercultural relationship will always necessitate support, dialogue, and a sense of community along the journey.

I remember when I started my blogosphere dialogue — does anyone remember the Colorblindcupid.wordpress.com blog?  It is now defunct (my suspicion it was taken down for privacy purposes) — but my journey began blogging with the ladies over there through some very meaningful, illuminating, and even sometimes heated dialogue.  Now and again I wonder what CB is up to, how her family is these days, how throughout the years she has grown/responded to her intercultural life.  Her writing often evoked some very strong feelings in me, but she has been one of the best, most crisp writers I have come across on the topic.

I assure you all that my journey certainly continues.  I remember D saying once (D are you still out there???) that as time goes on, you learn to accept and tolerate your own unique situation with your extended family more.  The players don’t necessary change, and you don’t even necessarily change, but you learn (and are sometimes forced to) accept.  Accept…

I’m happy to report that R & I have had a wonderful first year of marriage.  He is my best friend, and, our journey with his family and Indian culture certainly continues…

I’d like to keep this dialogue running.  Just wanted to shout out an initial hello!  Would love to hear from you all soon!
