Come on in. Take your shoes off. Make yourself at home.
If you stay awhile, you’ll get to know me pretty well.
One thing you’re sure to learn is that I enjoy lots of activities. I created this website in May 2007. I’d had an interest in creating a website for several years prior but I let other interests (usually those with deadlines) get in my way.
I’m not quite sure what finally propelled me to take the plunge, but I’m glad I did. Labeling and describing my strengths and interests was fun and affirming on one hand, yet humbling and motivating on the other hand.
First - The Fun Part
I [usually] like reflecting on my life, figuring out why I like the things I do, and understanding what motivates me to say “yes” to some opportunities and “no” to others. It was affirming to realize that most of my current roles make good use of my strengths and interests.
Second - The Not-so-Fun Part
A few times when claiming on this site to have an interest in an activity, I realized I hadn’t acted on my interest in quite some time. This motivated me to take action. For example, writing about my love of exploring prompted me to call my travel agent and start planning our trip to Thailand.
I updated the site in July 2008. Similar to creating the website, revising it was affirming, motivating, and thought-provoking. I had new things to add to some pages, but nothing to add to others. Hmm. What does that mean? Perhaps my interests are evolving. Stay tuned.
I hope perusing this site is half as much fun for you as creating and revising it was for me.
Thanks for stopping by.
