This past month I have done heavy research into conferences from several disciplines that I will be sharing with you. There is a wealth of knowledge and paths to be delved into by the independent scholar, the life-long learner, and the continuously curious.
Consequently I have made changes to this blog and the direction it is going to head.
I have started another website called The Telling of Their Stories, and it will deal with how we let the world know who we are. Biography/autobiography, oral history, biography as history, life writing, oral history, family history/genealogy; all these will be highlighted there.
So make sure you stop by regularly to find out what conference is coming up, or to see a video, or to learn about a new passion which I have acquired.
