A little introduction....
Published on September 5, 2004 By The Crusaders In Blogging
Hello to you all...
I probablly should have done this earlier but well I was a bit taken up by the whole experience and seem to spend more time roaming your articles rather than writing my own.
I would like to give you some idea of who you are talking to as I think perhaps sometimes I can get caught up on the same subject, I'm sure you know what that is though I wont get into it now, and perhaps it hides the whole of who I am.....
Well, let's see.....I'm not far off thirty at the moment......I have a beautiful almost four year old with my partner of eleven years, I call him partner because we're not married, .....oh and I'm Australian....living on the south Coast in a small country town of sixteen thousand or so.....I am firstly and foremost a Mother to my son and partner in life to my darling man who is Head Chef in a busy tourist restaurant......I am an artist....though I should add 'Struggling" before artist!!....Um...there's a lot of other little things I do but I'll save them for another time.. I have travelled Australia extensively with many different types of work but have always been drawn back to the town I grew up in....where we live now. I have endured some difficult situations in my life but I think overall I have had a lucky life and have ultimately always been happy. ....I have two beautiful dogs who bark way too loudly at passers by......my parents live close by which is great for our son.....my two brothers and one sister all live overseas......
What else (she wonders) I have a pretty good sense of humor....I have to being with the people around me who are quite sarcastic and cynical at times though with the biggest hearts in the world.......
That's all I can think of to share right now ...but what I would like is to hear a little about yourself so I can have a sense of who I'm chatting with......."

I didn't know you were Australian!!! Where do you live? I live in Melbourne!!! another Victorian

I think you know enough about me from my blog - I just hope you have formed your own opinion rather than letting hate filled blogs regarding me influence your mind, I can tell you are a compasionate person, and it's good to have people like you in a community like this, as i find more and more each day, compassion is sooooo last century - and we need some people to bring it back!!!

like I said, it's good to have you around, your comments and articles are appreciated

BAM!!!

I'm Tara, I have no children, but I'm engaged, will be married on the 5 of March. I'm from the US. um, I don't know if you really wanted to know anything about me, but I guess that sort of sums it up for now. You seem like an awesome person. I'll be sure to come back and look at more of your articles when I'm not at work.

Muggaz,
I live in little ol South Australia....on the coast ...ofcourse!
Muggaz, I will always form my own opinion and judge others on face value not from what I heard from others...otherwise I may as well let people live my life for me too!
Yep, Compassion is coming back into fashion with a vengeance.....in my books it never went out of fashion and I've always worn it with pride and always will.
Glad you appreciate my thoughts and I have enjoyed reading yours too though I have noticed that you have created some turbulence here and there?!

Be seeing you around!

StrawberrysNsunrise,
I had just come from your Blog and 'lo and behold' here you are! Sure, I want to know about you....anything you feel like talking about I'd love to hear....you learn more about yourself when you listen to others!
Looking forward to seeing you around!

Yeah – unfortunately that is always going to happen with me – whichever way you look at it, it is both good and bad that I am opinionated, and I pride my individuality… people come here for different reasons, and when those reasons conflict, you are going to see the aforementioned turbulence.

You certainly will be seeing me around! I am not going anywhere in a hurry!

BAM!!!

Muggaz,

I'm all for opinions.....it's important to know all perspectives even if you don't neccesarily agree......and even if you 'piss me off' I will not be blacklisting anyone because ...well ..because if I don't accept others opinions why should I expect them to accept mine.....and in the whole cross examining of opinions....they can change....you could change mine....I could change yours......it's what communicating is all about!!
And though I may not agree with everything everyone says ......if I give them the chance to speak their piece then perhaps they will give me my time too......and at the very least we are all learning about each other which can only be beneficial to us all.

I'm here!!! I have enjoyed your comments, and now your articles. As to who I am, I know you've read at least some of my articles, and they pretty much explain things, as best as I understand myself. I'm not far behind you age-wise, I've been married 8 years (shortly after turning 19), and the only children we have at this point are our 3 cats. I grew up in NY and have moved around the US alot, as I am currently in my 15th residence (in Texas).

Hello, LadyCleve, hope you're happy and healthy!? Glad you stopped past!
Yes I have read about you in your own articles and I must say ....again.... that I thoroughly enjoy your writing style as you really absorb a person into your tale.
I sort of imagined you maybe a little older.....in a positive sense...perhaps it's all the experiences you have endured....
Ah......a musician....what instrument do you play?
So many people with family in the military.....How do you cope?
