Introduction

(Well, this is going to be an interesting challenge, I started writing this blog on March 28th two days later and I still haven't posted it. I only get about 10 minutes at a time on my computer before my 3yr old son comes and wants my attention.)

This is a personal blog, an on-line diary as such. It will not have one defined topic, but will flow and ebb with my life . There are two topics, however that are currently at the forefront of my day to day activities. These are 1. dealing with my 3 yr old son who has verbal apraxia and some other issue and 2. my struggle with weight loss.

General topics that are weaved in the web of my behaviors and character are The Baha'i Faith, and my family who believe that the world is one and have lived in many places around the world. For example, my mom who is 72 just moved back to the Solomon Islands to help with the rebuilding after last years tsunami. My mom and I are both ex-Peace Corps Volunteers.

In the Peace Corps I was in Nepal. After, I worked in Taiwan, then taught in an English school in China, then worked at the Baha'i World Center in Israel where a met my husband. He was living in Wales, so we went there to marry. Now I am back living in the US.

I guess more of my background will come out in future entries. I better post this while I have the chance
