When I started blogging in the early years of the 21st century, it was to manage an enormous amount of anger and loneliness. I was a single mother who had been left alone with a baby to raise on my own and little to no practical experience with which to do that job well. I was also attempting to establish myself in a career field I performed well in but hated.

It has been almost ten years since then and my baby has grown into a lovely young woman. I have finished a degree and done some dabbling with career changing. I feel moved to begin with this exercise in public confession/pontificating/reaching for others all over again. As EM Forster says: Only Connect. Many of you will possible return to this space expecting the angry girl, lashing out at anything or anyone audacious enough to disagree with her. I can assure you, while still and always opinionated, I have mellowed and have healed most of the angry spots of my soul. So go ahead, open Pandora's Box again. You might be pleasantly surprised at what you will find....
