Welcome

If you’re here, it’s likely (at this point, at least) that you’ve wandered over from Oh, for the love of God… — my blog home until just recently (today, in fact). Give me time, and I’ll have some real content up here. If nothing else, I have all kinds of thoughts bubbling up about how it feels to be newly-married at the ripe old (read: set in my ways) age of 35.
.
What I expect this blog to be: As with FTLOG, IIWII (nice, eh?) will be my space for thinking aloud. Especially since I’m married to an introvert, I find that I often need to bounce things around for a while before even *I* know what I’m thinking. I expect my topics of conversation to be as eclectic as before, with perhaps an emphasis on current events, psychology/mental wellness, life as a parent, and life within a couple.
.
What I *don’t* expect this blog to be: Even though I am newly “out” as an ex-Christian, I’m not planning rants and complaint sessions about my former faith. What I might discuss, however, is the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) mind shift that I’m noticing as I view the world through a different paradigm. Let’s just say that the Christmas season has been eye-opening to me this year in many ways.
.
Another change: It’s possible — likely, even — that my husband will take up keyboard and contribute here and there. He takes no credit (or blame) for my writings, nor do I for his. We may be married, but we’re still most assuredly individuals!
.
However you’ve arrived, welcome! Have a seat — the sofa’s soft and warm. Enjoy a cup of cocoa…or a dark beer…or a glass of fine red…or whatever you prefer. After all, this is the virtual living room; the sky’s the limit for your virtual bar tab!
.
Finally, pardon the dust. Right now, I’m working with a chilly winter theme “out of the box,” which feels mightily appropriate, considering the 2 feet of snow that recently blanketed Santa Fe. Eventually, I’ll have something that looks and feels a little more like home.
