About This Blog

So I began this blog several years ago, not really knowing what it would be about, but knowing that if I did not soon secure a cool domain name and that if I waited till I was ready, there would be nothing left for me. So in the spirit of my goal to began regular maintenance on a blog and this journey of self-discovery/pre-middle aged crisis I am having, I though it would be good to reexamine the name of this blog and take my cue from there.

Minerva was the Roman goddess of warriors, poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, crafts, and the inventor of music. Minerva pretty much literally ruled all the things that I find myself most interested in these days. So, it therefore seems fitting that two years ago I choose the name Minerva's Atlas for my blog. I therefore declare that I shall chart my journey through all these disciplines and see where this particular atlas leads.

I've been thinking a lot about crafting lately and it seems that quilting is what I am truly drawn to, even though it scares beejeebers out of me. And it might also seem just a bit dull, and possibly involve way too much math for me to be successful. Nonetheless, I am going to keep it in mind as I move towards a place in my life where I can have creative outlets.
