Valya’s Blog

I feel quite tardy jumping in the Blogosphere space. For years I’ve skimmed at friends’ blogs, glimpsed at newsworthy ones, mulled over the thought of starting my own and then suffocating it. The tentative approach is due to an idea of “public diary” that I find rather unappealing.

Recently, however, thanks to a person whose opinion I value greatly, I’ve come to view blogging in a new light – as a venue for reflecting on professional dilemmas, career choices, life lessons, educational endeavors, current events, politics, and a slew of other outward-focused topics. It is a way to write again which I don’t get to do too much lately, one of the things I do miss about newspaper work.

The reflections to follow will be more focused and for that matter more reflective.
