New Beginnings

It's been nearly a year since my last post. Life simply got in the way and I had to leave Fanny's Place behind in pursuit of other projects. I'm still in Africa, though now in another country, and in my efforts to keep up with the U.S. news these past few months I couldn't help but notice that for most families thriftiness and frugality are becoming more important and necessary than ever before. So, I decided to stop by the old blog, read any new comments, check the associated email account, and so on.

I'm amazed at the number of visitors the site is still receiving almost one year after my last post. In fact, more people are reading than ever before. The message was clear - I need to start blogging here again. So, of course, I slept on it, and then slept on it again until days turned into weeks and still no new posts. I probably never would have gotten back around here again accept for that this morning, when I woke up and read the news like every other day, I was greeted with a call for change. A call for hope. A call for new beginnings.

This is my own, personal, new-beginning. I'm starting over with Fanny's Place. I'm blogging again. What's your new beginning?
