Beyond BT
I am fascinated by the new group blog, Beyond BT. It's interesting to read other Baalei Teshuvahs' experiences and takes on becoming frum, both from a point of comparing so many famliar feeling to the point of contrasting many things that I can't relate to nor do I agree with. The posts about conformity I find especially interesting, considering my own constant struggle to strike a balance between being my own, individual person and trying to fit into my community at the same time. (More could very possibly be written on the topic at a later date -stay tuned.)
Despite many of the things that I don't agree with there, the contributors are excellent writers and poignantly express their thoughts and struggles well. I need to find more time to read it, and I encourage you to as well.

Oh, so many wonderful blogs to read so little time..But yours is still at the very top of the list..
Heh - I was going to tell you they're looking for writers (though they have like 15 already!) - you'd be great there, you should think about it!
And it really is a fascinating blog.

I think it is a struggle that many face, especially baalei teshuvah. It's hard to fit into a community that is incredibly different from what you grew up with, while still holding on to your past, which formed who you are.
