Edit: After this making this original post, I've decided that I need to figure out a balance of communication. Thus, I've decided to give up just instant internet and phone communication. I'll keep checking and responding to my email and Facebook and updating this blog, but not very often.
Original post: I've realized that my connections via email, phone, and Facebook have recently caused me to be less dependent on God and much less focused on my work here. I know that communicating less is a selfish thing to do, but I just haven't been devoting myself enough to the work I'm doing in Kolkata because my mind is split between two continents. Thus, I've decided to completely commit myself - mind, body, and spirit - to what I'm doing here. If you really need to contact me, send me an email with a subject line that lets me know. I'll be scanning through my subject lines in my email about once a week. I'm going to try to keep posting on this blog, but it won't be nearly as often.
Quick update - still loving Kalighat, still loving Apne Aap. I'm writing a show with the women of Apne Aap called Asha Kori, which means "I hope". It'll be performed March 8th. Please pray for quick memorization, communication through the language barrier, and good public reception. Pray above all that the women's voices are heard.
Thank you!
Love and Park Circus,
Stephanie
