In choosing a name...

This blogging thing is new to me. Not new in my thinking but new in my doing and it took me forever to choose a name for this blog. In fact I've made at least 4 name changes before I was happy with myself. That probably says a lot about "digital immigrants" and "digital natives". Since I am a product of the Baby Boomer generation, barely, I am an immigrant :-)

Walks With Deer is the Lakota Indian name I choose for myself during a college course I took back in 1992. My good friend and colleague JoAnn Lillich taught this course, then offered through Colby Community College. It was the most powerful, sprititual, personal course I've ever experienced.

So why Walks With Deer? I wanted this particular blog to be a personal space where I could share my thoughts, feelings, memories, and stories with family and friends.

That said...welcome to my blog!
