Welcome!

Since this is my inaugural post on this blog, perhaps I should be waxing poetic about something or other. But I'll spare you that! Instead, I merely want to touch on a couple of random points:

1. First and foremost, I want to say thanks for visiting! I'm assuming that my readers will primarily be old-timers from my previous blogs...thanks for coming over, and for being patient with me while I get this one off the ground! I really appreciate ya'll:o)

2. After having blogged for more than two years, this blog represents a fresh start for me. I felt the need to start with a clean slate and a fresh focus. I'll probably, however, be transferring some of my favorite posts from my older blogs over here as I get the chance. And I'll wait a little while before deleting the older blogs. Those of you who have been blogging for a while know how it is...our blogs gradually begin to contain so much of our histories...it's hard to part with them completely!

3. This website is not yet completely finished...you'll find some links that don't work yet and such. Also, the design remains somewhat tentative at this point (and will probably always be a work in progress:o) But--being a recovering perfectionist--I wanted to give myself the chance to practice being OK with "in progress". If I know people are visiting me here, that's extra motivation to focus on my priorities for this site instead of dawdling endlessly over the minor details!

4. I hope this website will become a place for sharing encouragement with other women, as well as things I've learned and am learning along the way. But since I'm young and inexperienced relative to many out there (I'm twenty-five and have been married for four years), I don't want to come off as though I have all the answers or am an "expert" in any of the topics I may write about. I'm a fellow traveler who has just as much to learn as anybody. So I heartily welcome the wisdom and experience of all you other wonderful ladies (as I'm assuming most of you will be) out there! I always appreciate reading your comments!

ETA: If my template is doing anything wacky on your computer, please let me know! We had a couple problems with this before, but I'm hoping we now have it fixed. Thanks!:o)
