Hi guys

Just a little about myself so we can get acquainted.  I am a missionary kid, having lived in South Africa for 28 years of my life.  I have loved it, but also been a fish out of water in both places.  In Africa I was an American, and in America, I am an African.  Oh well...sometimes it is easy to get away with things when people think it may be because of my African raising!

My three children were all born there but have become thoroughly Americanized since moving here in 93.  South Africa is a land of contrast, beauty and tragedy, but I will speak of this in future, along with my musings. 

I love anything to do with words and was thrilled when a friend told me of this site, where I could vent my feelings online in the form of blogs and that people would actually read and comment on them!    I will need all the help I can get in order to navigate my way around this site, so feel free to drop me a line any time, and I will check out your writing or just communicate with you. 

I am 44 years old and looking to broaden my horizons considerably.  I have pretty much only seen young faces on here, but if u know anyone who would like to talk, let them know I am here.
