The beginning!

Hello, everyone!

First things first — a little bit about me.

I’m a lawyer who came to the law relatively late in life. I didn’t start law school until I was 38, and when I applied, I was a stay-at-home mom with no lofty ambitions – I was just looking for a way to support myself post-divorce. My surprise has been that I find inspiration and comfort in the practice of law. It’s a noble profession, and one in which I have respected and liked my clients and have been pleased and proud to represent their interests zealously. That representation has required twenty-plus years of nights/weekends/vacations/any other personal time you can think of, all of which I have happily devoted to my craft.  I gave that time gladly. I will be the first to admit, though, that it has not been a very well-rounded life.

Now that I am leaving the 50-something part of my life and entering the 60-something part, it’s time for my world to expand. I am beginning a journey towards becoming a person who is hopefully more complete, more in-tune with the world around me, and perhaps more interesting. The first part of the adventure will lie in exploring the wonders that I suspect lurk just outside my office. Let’s go!
