As a self-proclaimed privacy advocate, exposing myself to potentially the entire world (a girl can dream, can she not?) is, shall we say… an (ir)Reconcilable Contradiction…?

So why am I starting a personal blog?

Is it because I’m feeling more bravely open since finally allowing Smart technology into my life? Or is it because I crave reader reciprocity to offset the painfully disappointing reaction of mere platitudes or (worse yet) silence, that was par for the course in my recently departed (yet most beloved) decade-long relationship? Or maybe it’s because as I keep aging, I believe that going public with my thoughts is the only way that I can leave some kind of legacy behind.

Of course, all these factors play a part and it doesn’t really matter which has the stronger pull. I’m happily making all the necessary preparations to be a bonafide multi-layered blogger. I’ve got a lot to say, and I have tons of ideas. And as you can see from my pretty bare site, I’ve got a lot of work to do yet.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll follow along and maybe comment now and then. Reciprocity of your own vulnerability is encouraged and appreciated. Platitudes are highly discouraged. Silence is intolerable.
