first steps

For my first steps into blogging, I expected some kind of trumpet fanfare or burst of confetti.

Instead, it's Easter Sunday afternoon, and I've just cooked a gorgeous meal and shared it with my mother.  My daughter is having fun with the other side of her family.

Time for me to tell you about what I'm interested in, and who I am, intruding on your eyes while you scan for something to read.

I'm a mass of contradictions, living with a health condition which I'll keep private for now, I'm a grand-daughter, daughter, mother, and friend.  I have a lot of people in my life and I'm lucky.  (I believe we all make our own luck.)

As a bi-racial, self-motivated woman in her thirties, I've got strong opinions on what works for me and what works in my world.  I follow fashion, and what model agencies are up to.  I've been told that I'm not the typical woman (in my local area at least) down by the school gates.

I'm going to be putting my thoughts to paper about female role models and whatever that's meant to mean, and how I like to have fun and enjoy my life.

My passions are dance, fashion, and my home and beautiful, funny daughter.  I like to have people over, but like my own company, too.  Oh, and I'm sometimes controversial.  I say what I think, and always mean what I say at the time.  Although I've been known to change my opinion if someone debates well enough.

Hope you challenge me and add to my life's experiences.
