Lets try not to get too grand here.

I'm going to attempt to keep a blog. I should be able to take an hour a week to post something about my life. Something true. Something real. Something me. I am Joy. I go by Joy Star sometimes. I like to talk about everything from cooking to environmentalism to religious studies. I am a communities activist, a Jew, a Heathen, a Vermonster, a New Englander, a transplant, an artist, a flower child, a sister, an ally, a daughter, a sometimes Goth, a second generation Hippy, and so much more. I am writing this blog to stop hiding. I don't want my professional life and my everyday life to be different any more. I just want to be me. This is my first step. I will attempt to post every week. I will post interesting recipes, costume ideas, things I'm selling on Etsy, stories about my pagan life, stories about the history of Judaism, pictures of my home, pictures of nature, pictures of dishes I've made, pictures of parties, and general life experience. This is my mission. I hope I can keep it up!
