I like communicating on this blog the same way I talk with my friends. That’s one of the main reasons I started it.

I’m neither Vogue nor Martha Stewart, certainly not a role model, or some example to live up to, even though sometimes I’m expected to fill that role. It’s normal, I suppose, and comes with the territory when you have a voice*.

What I like is showing you what I see, without too much embellishment (though I do like pretty photos) and without being super dramatic (even if that means I don’t tell you about all my break downs).

That said, I’m sometimes surprised by the reactions I get from certain subjects.
