I write about parenting a lot (and books, pop culture, psychology and health somewhat less often) so this blog will probably be a mix of personal and professional stuff. Most of my professional stuff is personal stuff, anyway. I’ve been afraid to write anything at all because I keep feeling that the first post needs to be about something BIG and MOMENTOUS and I ponder and then I get all constipated and avoidance-y and I have to go take out the recycling or exfoliate or Furminate the cat (I am telling you, it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE) or read to Maxine (her current fave: What Pete Ate from A to Z, by Maira Kalman). It’s like getting a tattoo. There is no perfect tattoo. There are many possible excellent tattoos, and you pick one, and you get it, and then you’re like GOD I’M A MORON and then it just becomes part of you and you don’t think about it. So I’m just starting to blog. Here. Now. There is no perfect first post.
Any opportunity to read more of your fabulous writing is a good opportunity. I’ll take it, mamele.
