Stephanie says: Surviving the Workday is my pet project, which joins real-world work experience with religion, spirituality, and theology. I was raised as a Unitarian Universalist and went to Harvard Divinity School to become a Unitarian Universalist (UU) minister. Somewhere in there I changed my mind. But I do have this degree in theological studies, which makes me qualified to blog. My work experience is split just about equally between non-profit work, corporate work, and self-employment.
In October of 2007, Anne P. and GhostGirl joined as contributors. HSofia joined in April of 2008.
Anne P. says: I’ll include this image with my posts to help you identify me easily (as the person with the unidentifiable picture).
I’m not much of an authority on spirituality, but I do go to work every day, so I’ve got that part covered. My religious background is Quaker and UU, though most Sunday mornings these days the baby’s nap schedule wins out over the UU church that’s 35 minutes away. In addition to those two traditions, my moral foundation seems to have been strongly influenced by Mr. Rogers, which I think is a good thing.
GhostGirl says: I like the idea of an image, I’ll have to go back and do that. How about my cat?:
I identify myself as a Recovering Christian and let me elaborate that it means I am regaining my faith, not recovering from a disease. Grew up in a very conservative Christian household and do not attend church any longer. But I talk to Jesus a lot. My husband is a Quaker, and I identify with that very strongly. Our future children will be raised in the Quaker tradition.
My spiritual influences include Tori Amos, Mr. Rogers (rah!), and my own twisted vision of Jesus as a flipflop wearing, margarita serving dude who really does love everyone even if they vomit all over his sandals.
HSofia says: Seeing as my face is already out there on the interwebs, I’ll just tack on a photo of my mug.
I’m a Unitarian Universalist since 2001, of the humanist, atheist, existentialist variety. But I have feelings, and try not to be selfish. My parents were lapsed Catholics who converted to Islam when was 18 months old. I was a faithful believer and follower until the year 2000, so I bring up Muslim things sometimes.
I like to go to college, but apparently not to finish. I did a stint in AmeriCorps, then worked in a corporate environment for 10 years, and escaped. Now I’m preparing to be a stay-at-home mom-who-writes, volunteers, balances the checkbooks, reads labels, and dabbles in creative projects.
