Once a Neo...

Today is my anniversary, or AKAversary, if you will. Technically, I'm no longer a neo. "Neo" is a shortening of "neophyte" which means a beginner, or one newly converted (to Christianity, originally). For new converts to Alpha Kappa Alpha, or any other Greek Letter Organization (GLO), there's a certain fervor or excitement. There are even "superneos," those young people who are about their GLO and little else (you can distinguish them by the triple 'nalia they wear everywhere). I called this blog "The Neo" because that's the frame of mind I was in when I started blogging again. It felt new. Even though I'm no longer a neo in AKA, I'm keeping the title, because I'm still a neophyte in adulthood, in life. There is so much to see and do, and I feel truly thrilled by all that awaits me on my journey.
