Contradictions!
I’ve never really been much of an extrovert (especially online). I’ve been an online lurker but never really had any motivation to post anything (Kudos to you who do it). Starting this blogging journey and revealing myself online is a big step for my kind. There is contradiction in my life that I haven’t quite reconciled yet – I have presented myself extrovert at many occasions and later I’ve had to explain that I’m generally very quiet. I can be chatty with anyone and I’m not shy about it. I’ll strike up a conversation – no problem. But what I don’t show is that it takes a lot of energy…

Here’s an idea!
“So, here’s an idea!” I said to my husband, “I’m going to start a blog.” “Sure, about what?” he asked, as one naturally does. That’s where I got stuck for a little while. But after a little bit of cranking wheels in my brain, I thought I can write about what I know best – ME! ‘What’s so special about me’ you ask? Well, absolutely nothing! I’m an ordinary person trying to make it in the world. I live an ordinary life on this planet just like everyone out there. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world – Vancouver, BC. I’m approaching my forties and I’m trying to figure…
