Here we go

So I am finally doing it.  I am taking Reya's suggestion and am going to do some writing.  I have been thinking about it for years but always had an excuse.  I am out of excuses.

I have been through some challenging times over the past several years and I want to find my way -- to be enlightened about myself.

Some things I will be exploring in this blog:

• the conflict I feel about being a mother, a woman, and my identity -- who am i?  what should i be doing with my life?  what happened to my career?  where do i go from here?
• my disconnect with my body -- after 5 miscarriages, how do i learn to love my uterus again?
• culture shock and travel adventures -- what have i learned from my experiences living in India and Italy as the spouse of a diplomat?  how can i find a better term than "trailing spouse"?  how do i prepare myself and my family for our move to Senegal in 2010?

Here we go...
