Maven and Magpie – Soft Launch: Feb 18, 2018

Good morning Dear Friends!

I’m sending this note to a special handful of the beloved, lovely, wonderful, supportive and possibly indulgent friends who may find the “story” of our move to Saratoga of interest.  I’ve decided to write a blog about it, and I’ve named it Maven and Magpie.

The website is: www.mavenandmagpie.blog  

It should show up in WordPress, if you search for it… I’m still figuring things out and Meg is providing invaluable assistance :-).  Consider it a “baby blog” as it’s still very much in it’s infancy.

My main inspiration for doing this is to have a place to park my feelings and experiences along this winding road. It’s basically an online diary (with photos and links), that may be fun to look back on as we get through the year ahead.  Plus, when I’m up in Saratoga starting from scratch in building a new life, this sort of gives me a way to talk to each of you and let you know how I’m doing. My plan is to give it a year and stick to it, with at least one post a week, just to see where it takes me.

Besides the journaling exercise, the website gives me a place to park a bunch of other things I like to share (and you know I like to share.. that’s why I’m the Magpie!) – projects, causes, photos, events… travel & restaurant recommendations, and who knows what else.  Sort of like my personalized FB page… with the benefit of a restart on who I overshare with. Lucky you!

A special shout out to Meg and Jean who each played a key role in my decision to launch this little project.  If you find it at all entertaining, thank them! If you find it totally self-absorbed and silly, blame me… I’m an only child, you know I can’t help myself!

Big hugs to each of you!
