I’ve been pondering the future of print and newspapers since the recession hit. Though I was raised on the daily printed paper, I barely touch them now. My favorite pieces of those papers (regularly the New York Times) was the Week In Review and the Sunday Editorials. Maybe I should buy the Sunday paper just for these tidbits, but I practically gain all the data I need through a handful of websites/blogs. Plus The NYTimes posts these pieces online too.

What I miss from the available endless stream of opinions and news is the intent. What are all these posts written for? What is the author’s or editor’s intent? I pined for a site that intended to write ‘Sunday” reading material. Thoughtful, insightful, personal, practical, and intriguing. I discussed this idea over time with many of the contributors who have signed on to write for this blog and we decided to make this intent-driven site ourselves.

Each week, either on Sunday (or just before), we’ll post a handful of writings by a widening list of interested contributors. Not too much stuff, just enough material to fit the hour or two during that splended weekend day when you’re finally free from the previous week, and are gearing up to conquer the week ahead.

Thanks for your patience as we get this site moving.
