Let’s Do This!

It seems like I’ve been waiting forever to start a blog. Every year that has gone by since about 2010 I have told myself “This will be the year I will finally do it.” Well, it’s 2019, and I’m realizing that if I don’t start now, the wait could go on for 10 more years. Life has a way of accelerating as you get older. So, I’m 41 (41!) and just now getting to it. Better late than never. I’ve always had a lot to say – you can ask anyone who knows me, talking loudly and periodic word vomit is my thing – but now I have even more interesting experiences to draw from. My life in 2010 only slightly resembles my current existence. So I hope you’ll join me as I continue along my journey, navigating the challenges of having a daughter on the autism spectrum, attempting to write a novel (as well as a blog), and coping as many of you also are with the reality of how politically dysfunctional our country/culture has become in era of Trump. Did I mention that I used to work on the Hill and in government affairs here in DC? It feels like a million years ago, but still informs a lot of my present day thinking. Oh, and I will also somehow find a way to fit in gossip about certain celebrities (mostly icons from the 1990’s and early 2000’s from back when I was hip and current lol) and Real Housewives regularly. If it feels all over the map, that’s pretty much where I am these days. And I’m working super hard to embrace it. Thanks for joining me and I hope this blog is entertaining and maybe even occasionally insightful, if I should so dare to dream. Take care and talk soon.
