Coming back to life

Once upon a time I thought that I was a person who had it all together, you know, I was pretty confident that I knew who I was, what I stood for, how I felt about life. As it happens, I didn’t really have it as together as I thought, and it’s wonderful, in a way, how life really teaches you the lessons that you need to learn – although most of the time, not in a nice and friendly way.

I’ve spent the last year learning much about myself, about life, about sacrifice. A very unlikely and unfortunate set of events cause me to go from being “sorta-happily-married-with-kids” to “newly-un-hitched-with-kids” in one very fast, somewhat dizzying blink of an eye. A set of events that literally made me feel like I was malfunctioning, or broken, or like I was expelled from my universe and I no longer knew where I belonged. That feeling lasted a very long time.

So long in fact, that I had to say sorry many times, to many people, about many things.

But, as we all know, life continues to cycle on, we grow and we recover, or at least those things that hurt us becomes a part of who we are, enabling us to feel compassion and empathy, and somehow gives us strength to move on.

Long story short, I am back (I hope) to business! And with some great news, I will be at the Blogher ’09 Geek Lab, which seems like it will be totally awesome, and I look forward to seeing many, just as awesome, people there!

PS. This website is not fully functioning yet, but I’ll get there soon. Wish me luck!

I was lucky enough to be part of a panel at BlogHer, FAQs for beginning bloggers with Michelle, Melanie and Nelly, who were all very amazing co-panelists.

We received great feedback from attendees, and I am glad that it was a beneficial session to those that attended.

I put together an outline of a few beginner WordPress questions, and brief answers: Beginning with WordPress

And Nelly was kind enough to make our shared resources document available at the Webgrrls website: Blogging resources
