As away to get back into the swing of things, I have decided to work on my project that I said would do. The project was to facilitate the understanding of the other through narratives and storytelling. This blog was to be started up three years ago. I left it aside to to finish school. The project was to allow for videos, poetry, and stories both fictional and non-fictional. However, it has been three years with many many many hair pulling moments for school, work, and relationships. I am now back to blogging. As an aspiring anthropologist, one of the universals of life, for me anyway, is storytelling. The narrative of the everyday, the mundane, the little moments, which seem unimportant but impacted when one stops to take the moment to smell the flowers. It is these times, in which, one feels the moment of empowerment. A time of healing, or simply a moment of creation and narrativity.

A fellow anthropologist, Kate Mullin, has been working on such a project--Healing Through Natural Childbirth. Her project touches on the profound narrattive for others. The choices a person makes and the steps to rectify or to create a place for empowerment or even displacement are those which one feels most fully engaged. The story in the video talks about such moments.
