About the Author

Me, ice skating at Warwick Castle

“Aegialia” is the name of a Greek character from the Iliad. Why is that my screen name? Well, mostly because I’m a book nerd, and I don’t like usernames with numbers after them, and I needed a Yahoo! email account a few years back. I couldn’t find anything else, and I got desperate, so I searched the back of the Iliad until I found the name of a character who was A)good, B)female and C)had a name that I liked. Aegialia fit the bill. But I don’t remember who she is in the Iliad.

But who am I really? Well, first of all, I’m a graduate student in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology in La Mirada, California. And, I graduate in May!! And then what, I hear you asking?!?!! Well, the truth is that I don’t know what what I’m going to do, and I’m mostly ok with that. I think I’ll be able to pay the bills (including my school bills!!), and then we’ll see from there. Actually, I relish the time spent in “real life”, and the opportunity to have some time to figure out what I want to do with all this eddication I done got.

Beyond that, I’m mostly just a girl. An adult girl, doing her best to live in this world of ours. I’m not alone, though. I have great friends, a wonderful family, and a simply astounding boyfriend. Without them, I would not be making it nearly as well as I am. But, I think I should sign off before this starts to sound like one of those acceptance speeches we’ll be hearing more than we want of over the next few weeks. Cheers!!!
